Not sure about the other side, but
#1 Riverside hosts #2 Fauquier (5/31)
#1 Kettle Run hosts #2 Dominion (5/31)
Winners play 6/4
Patriot should be ready to face a well coached team who is going to play hard for the entire game. Hopefully Patriot understands offensive ball movement tonight and the wonders it can do for your offense. In addition, I think the kids should find out what its like to move their feet even when the ball isn't in their sticks.
Wouldn't that be something. Patriot v. Battlefield to see who the best NOVA 6A team is. Then have a Loudoun 6A team next season who is likely better than both of those. What will the FFX county people do? Can WS beat Woodson?PWCLAXHOMER wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 1:28 pm Patriot over Madison by 1 in OT (11 to 10). Patriot likes to play a fast pace game; the question is are they deep enough to still have legs in the 4th quarter. Should be a very good game.
Battlefield over Oakton by 3 (8 to 5). Battlefield is tough at home on their grass field. Oakton is rumoured to be down some key players on offense due to injury. If Oakton was healthy and at home I would pick Oakton.
Hopefully the refs learn to swallow those whistles and flags tonight. Control the game early and then manage it the rest of the way.PWCLAXHOMER wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 1:52 pm I agree with the comment about Patriot needing to move the ball tonight and move off ball. If they start trying to dodge double teams and expend energy pointlessly; they will run out of steam before the game is over. If they want to they can move the ball very well. Patriot likes to score on unsettle situations and fast breaks; doubt they will see as many of those against Madison, I also doubt Patriot will allow many unsettled situation for Madisons offense. They will need to be patient and conserve energy by moving the ball through the air and not just with their feet once in a settled situation.
Penalties may play a huge role. Both of these teams have shown the ability to put themselves man down a lot with unnecessary penalties fueled by emotion.
Would've been something, but Madison beat 'em both. Helluva game last night by Patriot and Madison - very evenly matched teams.OSVAlacrosse wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 2:06 pmWouldn't that be something.

Battlefield is coming out smelling like roses with their next matchup.....they have benefited big time by finishing 3rd in the region, not to mention getting that wounded Oakton team.NOVALax2015 wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2019 7:27 amWould've been something, but Madison beat 'em both.

Going off info from the forums, my guess is Patriot beats them handily. Robinson is probably 7th or 8th best team in 6a.... right?MyLongStick wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2019 11:57 am Patriot-Robinson should be an interesting matchup....Patriot will be without their big scoring mid the rest of the playoffs and it will be interesting to see if their FOGO came climb out of his slump.
Defense looked completely lost at times against Madison. Madison moved players, and the ball around on offense that looked to confuse Patriot. It's obvious that Patriot does not get that same look from their offense in practice.
Turnovers absolutely did Patriot "in" during that loss. The last possession was a sure fire sht show of epic proportions. Again, the guys in the coaching shirts are stealing checks with this team.
