LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Tourney play at WT Woodson today opened with West Springfield vs Falls Church. The 1st game at 10AM took some pain as the rain did a number in the warm-up for the Sparty-Jags game. It was a bunch to one. Game two was eagerly anticipated Robinson-Battlefield. Again Robo was a seven, SEVEN goal underd...

Finally got to a Hawks game & I picked a miserable one! Not the play that was intense but the weather...come on man! The rain only let up slightly towards halftime & then regained its strength. Back & forth game in the first half, a scary moment when a Hawk attacker went down on the crea...

Nice update and detail. 1 glaring team stands out at #2 with Woodson. They won't be competitive with Oakton and aren't top 5. I should have listened to Skipper BABY as after tonight's blowout by Oakton we can seed Woodson below the Buford T. Justice Sheriffs but just above the Jerry Lewis Comics!

Early Season Patriot Slugfest due to FCPS date mismanagement forcing this game to be moved up a month! An early YC on the Cavs Got #19 her second FPS & #1 got one also as #19 got her hat-trick with a low shot...4-1 Spartans. Cavs stormed back to make it 4-4. Cavs had a disasterous minute allowin...

Like many Loudoun girls programs they [Riverside] will struggle to field a JV team this season. There’s just not enough girls playing the sport and competing with soccer makes things even tougher for smaller schools. I'm sure if they had to do it again, ADs would resist the shortsighted soccer fana...

Riverside left their Campus by the Potomac to venture down to "The Pat" at WT Woodson last night. Trouble brewing when the JV Rams had only one sub & were stampeded by the Cav 15-3. The Varsity at least had 7 subs. Lots of dropped passes & it got raggedy as everyone played for the ...

Ragnor's Viking Skeggøx has fallen on the lacrosse teams of the Northern Region making the cuts so we have the final team rosters now...no stinking family trips...no SAT Prepatory (probably should have used Prelusive to help the Vocab portion) classes...no swim meets...finally just the teams! Let's ...

I guess a year was enough as Coach Chen has been let go by West Po. They said they were going in another direction as they only reached the Region Semi-finals. His death certificate was signed by his decision to put a player on the JV instead of the Varsity. That player's parents didn't go to the JV...

The first Draw was a portent of the day in the circle as two girls battled for the loose ball the Yorktown player swept the ball out of bounds but the referee decided on a redraw. Woodson would not win another in the first half going down 6-4 in the first half. Despite no home field advantage at Pat...

Walked up & the ref was putting in multiple zip-ties to close the holes in the Langley net, the Duke Brothers can't be pleased. The game was 1-1 when #9 Daly went off after scoring the first Langley goal, she added the next three to put the Saxons up 4-1. Robo fought back to 5-3 but a convenient...

I got to see two classic match-ups in the last two nights first venturing to the wreckage that is Oakton HS to see Madison vs Langley why…working on Madison track could it be worse than OHS??? I got there early & Madison arrived singing on the bus…they only had a chance for half a song on the sh...

Very entertaining game at Woodson tonight as the Emperor returned after having always brought the last great Lake Badluck teams to tangle with the Cavs having since brought Chantilly, Herndon & Freedom to postseasons. This was the new coaches’ side of the draw as the two 1st year leaders had the...

I want to ask for a recount for Pat District COY this year. Listen I know this will be controversial [Moderator: More than having your own stalker UAO?] I can live with an admirer (Under Armor Odor) but the real deal UAO has been around since 2007 on LaxPower & a voting member on Women’s Div I ...

I hadn't been out to see the Purple since pre-Coronavirus when Washington & Lee went all the way out there & simply crushed the Chargers. The #14 Cavaliers went out to the Tilly & found a much improved team. It looked like the best Charger team i've seen since the Blonde One was coaching...

BallDown wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 8:54 am Card trouble caught up with BI, played down a player for a large portion of the second half (at least 6-7 cards for BI, 2-3 for Dom; calls were balanced on both teams, but one ref certainly called all play very tight).

BD was it 12 v 10 or 12 v 9 at the end?

Made the long drive into DC & up Rock Creek Parkway to the St. John’s College High School for a scrimmage. Nice facility but I’d estimate the field was much like the "Forget the Titans Name" Middle School field, missing 20 yards between the restraining lines, no snack bar but nice stad...

Three games back-back-back this week & all three have had a goal inside the final 5 seconds! First, O’Connell came to Robo under the lights - important as both teams looked blind at times as more balls were loose then when the ball pit ruptured at Chucky Cheese. It was 4-3 Robo but they got two ...

I find this hard to believe but Lake Badluck is living up to its name. A sophomore JV goalie quit leaving the Bruins with one, One ONE Goalie in the entire program. Yikes, but the novel solution is to put all the JV players names in a hat pregame & draw a name for the opportunity to play in goal...
