Be careful what you wish for. Langley is two steps ahead of everyone else in 6A. So unless there are 4A teams steamrolling the Oakton, Robinson, WestPo, Yorktown type teams, they are in for a rough ride every time they make the trip down Georgetown Pike in the coming years.OSVAlacrosse wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2019 2:00 pm I would not be too quick to assume this. I know a 5A coach that may want a chance at them. Look at the boys side where 5A and 4A are far stronger this year at the top. The 5A youth programs are also feeding talented teams.
I believe this will be Langley’s fourth state title appearance in the last seven years (2012 2013 2018 2019) and will be looking for their first trophy.VALaxer wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 10:09 pm Madison (H) 16 - Yorktown 12 - I hear Yorktown made a comeback in the 2nd half to make it close, but ultimately fell short.
Langley (H) 18 - West Potomac 8 - I hear Langley was pushing the 10 goal margin a good part of the 2nd half.
Congrats to all 4 teams for great seasons and to Langley and Madison who will meet in Saturday's state championship game. Will the 3rd time be the charm for the Warhawks or will the Laxin' Saxons take the Class 6 trophy with them as they make the move to Class 5![]()
Rumor from a reliable source says Langley has petitioned to stay in Class 6. I am not sure of the outcome though. I guess we’ll see when the Fall Sports schedules come out in August.helmetssoon wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 9:22 amBe careful what you wish for. Langley is two steps ahead of everyone else in 6A.

Langley is undefeated in VA 6A play this year.8Meter wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2019 7:59 am
I don't quite understand your comment about Langley being 'two steps ahead of everyone else in 6A.' This may be the year they take home the 'ship but who knows? Being the bridesmaid several years doesn't equate to your eval of their program. Langley's a very good team and I'll give you the fact their team website is two steps ahead of everyone in 6A. It's very nice. Good luck to the Laxons. I'm pulling for the Warhawks but would just like to see a well fought & injury-free game regardless of the outcome.
This is true. VHSL docs confirm Langley will remain in 6A. $ talks.VirginiaTerp wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 10:37 pmRumor from a reliable source says Langley has petitioned to stay in Class 6.

That's a good start. Those are probably the top ten, in some sort of order. Items that jump out at me are:FSUFan wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 6:49 am Here you go, Captain Obvious....

That list isn’t based on the actual results of this season...IMO if you aren’t still playing, you are not a 1st or 2nd place team... the list included in the above link is based on power points, strength of schedule and past season’s performances. The current state tournament in progress gives you the actual teams who should be listed and in what order for the top 8 positions. That list looks a lot like many written in February and prior... and is not representing what actually took place.FSUFan wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 6:49 am Here you go, Captain Obvious....

Also, whenever Madison showed a spark that Langley answered with a quick goal (or two or 3). Congratulations to Langley on your championship & a great season! No real reason, but I was kind of hoping to see Madison win both of the 6A finals.
