Marshall is out in 5A. Turns out they don't play so well away from their shoebox home court with their obnoxious as shit announcer and dopey student section.

If I remember, that wasn't a runaway game for Westfield. They are fallible. If they run into the right team.

Both Francis and Scanlon have the flu, the fact that either played was miraculous. If they only win by 1 that's all it takes. Anyone who has watched this team knows they do whatever to get the W.

Yeah, but can they Dixie Cup their way to TWO championships?

The fact that Westfield won by double digits while Francis sacred only 6 points says a lot about them.

1 Westfield, 1 Battlefield, 1 West Potomac, and 2 West Springfield all advance in region and qualify for states.

Bracketology, how is the NR determine their third and fourth seeds? No loser game on the VHSL bracket.

Thanks figured something like that. So a quadruple header Saturday at Robinson. Get your money's worth.

Did VHSL change format for the state tournament? I am not remembering it was handled this way last year..

Yes. Expanded from 4 to 8 teams. Top 4 in each region qualify. When realignment happens it will be top 2 teams from each of the 4 new regions. Nice little money grab this year mainly.

It will continue to be a money grab with no district/conference tournament. More money goes to VHSL at the region level compared to the district tournaments which will end.

I thought district tournaments would continue in VHSL sports with the new proposed districts?

Maybe, but outside of 6A North is hard because they can't serve as the region qualifier bridge members are all different classes. But even if they have them here, still fewer games because what were 8 team districts are now 5.

Does Westfeilds Francis #0 have any offers? I thought he was by far best player on the court last night. His ball handling skills are superior and he’s has great speed and quickiness.

The cream rose to the top this tournament. All 4 teams deserve to be there and should represent the region well in Richmond.

Where can I find the brackets for 6a north?

http://www.vhsl.org/athletics.basketball.basketball-conference-region-results

Yeah he has a few non major conference D1 offers. I believe he is going to Towson. However, I think Francis deserves better offers.

If it weren't for two private school transfers, Westfield would suck. Hence the double digit loss to Lake Braddock earlier in the season.

It's not like they recruited them or anything. They both are from that area and were following in their siblings footsteps.

That doesn't address the post.

I'm not saying I blame him when the alternative was riding the bench at PVI. Just that Westfield certainly was advantaged by those circumstances. Same for West Springfield with their big.

No kidding. Obviously no public school is going to recruit away a player from one of the biggest basketball programs in the country. Now, transferring to be the big fish instead? Makes sense

I don't understand this comment. What is your point? They both DID transfer to Westfield so they DON'T suck.

Is someone a little salty that some good ball players went to their home public school?

Who rode the bench at Pvi? Isn't scanlon the only one who transferred from pvi? I remembered him switching off as a starter and 6th man sophomore year

https://www.washingtonpost.com/posttv/sports/highschools/tyler-scanlons-transfer-to-westfield-paying-dividends/2015/01/28/a9151d74-a704-11e4-a162-121d06ca77f1_video.html

I'm sure being able to get more time was a huge factor. Lots of other transfers out of PVI at that time too.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Actually you're wrong with this theory. First, Scanlon lives in Virginia Run where he has his entire life. He actually transferred IN to PVI. He did play as a sophomore but told his parents he wanted to go to Westfield so he could hang with his childhood friends. He also wanted to play on a quality football team unlike what they have at PVI. Not sure about Francis or the circumstances but sounds like it was no major move for him to attend Westfield either. Second, Westfield lost to Lake Braddock because Scanlon, Johnson, Huling, Eckert, and Chapman-Greene were still playing football. Of course they haven't lost since the football season ended, the missing third of their team returned. In case you don't follow Westfield basketball Hank Johnson has stepped up this year. SO it's not just a two man show, not gonna lie, Scanlon and Francis are the two studs on the team but they've got a very good supporting cast.

I think they will since the game is at Robinson. It should be on the same website as the link provided above.

Scanlon didn't ride the bench at PVI, even as a freshman he got significant playing time.

Djonkam was a starter at O'Connell and honorable mention all-WCAC as a sophomore.

Champe and Loudoun Valley games got moved to JMU.

how far are playoffs currently?

After watching this weekend, Westfield is a 3 man team, scanlon, Francis, Johnson. And they are all severely overrated. Will be done this Friday

I saw that. I thought maybe they'd move both Potomac games to VCU but it's pretty full down there too. Every other site has games during the day on Friday, but that's not possible at Robinson because of school.

This is the most asinine schedule of playoff games 1.5 hours between games. The team has to have a 20 min. warm-up. That leaves 1hr 10 min for each contest as well as clear the team area and stands. How about playing at two gyms instead of one. Lake Braddock, Hayfield, TCWilliams, Garfield, Mount Vernon are good choices. I sure would hate to have one of the late games. It willstart at least 1.5 - 2 hours late.

No doubt it will be a challenge. As you mentioned, they should have selected a dual super site and included Lake Braddock with Robinson to host any overflow games. They were guaranteed to host at least four games for 6A North boys and girls. In addition, nearly half of 6A South, most of 5A North, half of 4A West, and a few other odd schools like George Mason were assigned to Robinson. Unlike all the other sites, they can't play during the day Friday.

You can't find an old white guy, more good old boy network outside of the Masters board members than the VHSL. They can't get out of their own way.

TVkx9

At Robinson, Westfield-Hylton boys and Oakton-Woodbridge girls should have been scheduled for Thursday. No travel concerns and would have freed time on Friday and Saturday.

Westfield 67, Hylton 49

Go Bulldogs, dominant sports school in VA

Westfields going to go as far as scanlon takes them. Kids the real deal. Might not be a better high school player still alive in the playoffs

Scanlon can't do it all himself. The Battlefield game showed that.

Entire WF team played with the flu

According to All Met Sports:

Francis:22
Johnson:20
Scanlon:14
Jones:8
Katchmark:3
Bench:0

How's this team going to be next year? Obviously not going to contend for States but I think they can win Conference 5 or contend. JV was bad but most games were close and the best sophomore was on varsity. Freshman ran away with the conference without their PVI transfer (transferred in mid season, was on PVI JV). I think in 3 years time they will be ready to contend again for states when the class of '19 are seniors or if they have another private school transfer with D1 potential.

More excuses. Fucking figures.

When did Fairfax schools stop having basketball cheerleaders? It's weird watching the state tournament and every other team has them.

It was about 4-5 years ago. Part of budget cuts, they just do football season now.

I agree. It is weird to see only one team with them. Maybe that can be added to the flu excuse for Westfield losing to Battlefield. Hoping they both win their semifinal games....state final would be a great tiebreaker for them!

Westfield freshman lost 2 conference games, same as Oakton. Westfield beat Oakton once, they did not get to play the 2nd round because of silly Friday night cancellation.

Chantilly had a freshman on varsity, and Robinson had 2 on JV, Westfield did not play any freshman up.

Westfield was good, but a little early to think about contending for states in 2019.

Pretty much every school has at least one kid transfer out to private school, so it should equal out if they all stay private.

Westfield freshman lost conference game against Chantilly without one of their best players. The private school transfer was on PVI JV. And Westfield doesn't let freshman play JV or Varsity during regular season. Some freshman could've moved up in an average school but Westfield is stacked.

Actually your probably right. Freshman performance doesn't really mean much. When Westfield's class of '16 were freshman I'm pretty sure they were the worst in the conference.

Langley downs Oakton Girls BB

Westfield 52
Woodside 50

Looks like Oscar Smith will get another shot at Westfield but this time they are the underdogs. Should be a good one.

Everyone keeps asking if any Virginia high school has ever won a football and basketball state championship in the same school year. I don't know. Not in my memory anyway. But now I am wondering if two schools have ever faced each other in the state championship game in both football and basketball the same year. I don't know that either.

Bethel won both basketball and football same season. Allen Iverson JR year.

Here's your answer: https://twitter.com/jonroetman/status/707633486216056832

Looks like Westfield is taking home another trophy. Easily the best school for athletics in Fairfax County since its opening.

Westfield plays a lot better as a team this year.

That was an awesome game for Westfield hoops no doubt. I sorta thought OS might not have much left after that incredibly physical battle (see what I did there) vs. Battlefield the previous night.

First 6A/AAA boys basketball team from the North to win states since 2008 (TCW). Looks like the first Fairfax County team to win it all since 1981. Unprecedented.

Yes, the South has dominated 6A. Congrats to Westfield on an incredible season, I know I for one thought they blew their one opportunity last year and did not envision them being back. One takeaway though, is I have never seen the South so down in basketball. Are there private schools finally opening up and taking away the talent as is the case here in Northern Virginia?

The southern region is not down... Woodside had multiple private school transfers come back, they were loaded with talent. Westfield just beat them in the semi finals and played a less talented Oscar smith team in the finals.

Is this Westfield 2016 the best athletic class in northern region history? Unbelievable the run they just made from August 4th to March 9th.

Maybe for Basketball but football had lots of contributions from Sophomores and Juniors.

I heard reports that opposing fans were chanting "Super Senior" to Tyler Scanlon during WF's conference/playoff run. Did he reclass? Is he 19?

Whether he is or not, I agree his football/hoops seasons are quite impressive. He will be missed.

"Looks like Westfield is taking home another trophy. Easily the best school for athletics in Fairfax County since its opening."

Perhaps, but what about academics? At the end of that day, that's what matters. There, they are not even close. Oakton, Madison, Langley and Woodson lap them by a mile.

We're on a basketball thread genius. Besides, Westfield is well above average academically despite well performing feeders such as Floris getting redistricted. Save your negativity for another thread.

Congrats to Coach Ewell.

I know there have been more talented players than Tyler Scanlon in the NoVa area but he was the best player on both state championship teams and could have went D1 for football if he wanted to. How many other public school players could do that? Is Scanlon the best public school athlete from Fairfax County since 2010? I'd say so. Once in a generation talent for sure.

Home school, two 8th grades I think. He will either be 20 in April, or in the summer.

Sadly, likely not his doing. Daddy probably led the charge.

Just think how good a high school player he could be if he now went to Oak Hill for one more year?

Sadly the above poster clearly didn't go to College like Young Mr. Scanlon is getting ready to. See VHSL has a little Rule that says you can't be 19 Prior to the Start of your Senior Year, so lets follow your Logic, he Will be 20 in April or This Summer, which would have made him 19 last April or last Summer, which in turn would have made him ineligible for his Stellar Senior Season! Such a High Profile Athlete with such an easily verifiable Birth Date...Such a Pity Grown Men Bashing our Youth Because of their Own Ineptness... Try a Little Vagisil just might help you with that Chaffing!

Maybe for Basketball but football had lots of contributions from Sophomores and Juniors.

Not sure who the sophomores were you're talking about? There was only one who started and played when the games counted that I can think of. There were a couple juniors who did well yes, but by and large, the senior's are who carried that team.

Cockrill was an important sophomore. There were a lot of important juniors. Eckert, Petrillo and Jewell were important. Johnson and Frimpong were huge when they weren't suspended.

Keeping with the Basketball Thread, the basketball team could only wish they had the talent returning that the Football team does...here are your underclassmen, for the Booster that does not know his own program, that saw significant playing time or started last year on the State Champion Football Team, that's a very solid Foundation

Ivory Frimpong JR
Brian Delaney JR
Taevon Chapman Greene JR
Russ Steinhilber SO
Joey Free JR
Rehman Johnson JR
Bryson Malo JR
Kevin Petrillo JR
Christian Karl JR
Daryl Hosten JR
Edward Quitugua JR
Jean Marc Tsteou JR
Sean Eckert JR
Zach Jewell JR
Nolan Cockrill SO
Nick Devecchio SO

Ivory Frimpong JR - missed almost half the regular season due to partying, contributed when came back but not spectacular.
Brian Delaney JR - important piece as a K/P.
Taevon Chapman Greene JR - did contribute some.
Russ Steinhilber SO - played when games were over
Joey Free JR - see Frimpong comment
Rehman Johnson JR - see Frimprong comment except he actually did become a huge piece in the last 3 playoff games as QB.
Bryson Malo JR - solid player, played a lot after injuries depleted LB unit.
Kevin Petrillo JR - solid player, big contributor.
Christian Karl JR - solid player.
Daryl Hosten JR - who?
Edward Quitugua JR - capable.
Jean Marc Tsteou JR - capable.
Sean Eckert JR - solid player.
Zach Jewell JR - solid player.
Nolan Cockrill SO - solid player
Nick Devecchio SO - longsnapper only because starter was injured then eventually suspended.


The original post stated the football team had lots of contributions from sophomores and juniors. My point was that there was on sophomore, Cockrill, who started. Never disputed that there weren't juniors who contributed. But I'll throw some names at you, hope I get them right since I don't know much about the program.

Tyler Scanlon - SR/Starter/Offensive POY
Hank Johnson - SR/Starter
Tim Beard - SR/Starter
Billy Pickett - SR/Starter
Jay Aiello - SR/Starter/Defensive POY
Cole Huling - SR/Starter
Tavon Green - SR/Starter
Terell Monticue - SR/Starter
Jose Perdomo - SR/Played a ton
Jordan Uffelman - SR/Starter
Ken Yoshino - SR/Starter
Chris Leo - SR/Starter
Rodrigo Cordova - SR/Starter
Brandon Lutz - SR/Starter
Gabe Martin - SR/played a ton
Jack Clancy - SR/Starter/IR
Josh Ohanian - Sr/Starter?IR
Ryan Estep - SR/STarter/IR

I think the Football community can be grateful that there was not a wide/ tall angle app on the Cell phone that captured the notorious photo or you could add your Frimpong comment to another 10 or so of those Super Seniors that contributed so much...a revised list might include an asterisk next to a lot more names

I think any football team in the state would be ecstatic to have 14 or 15 underclassmen that either started the state Championship Game or played significant roles during that Game...

Westfield class of '16 vs Centreville class of '15? For football and basketball combined. Which has more talent?

How is that a question that was even considered worth asking?? Both classes won a football state championship. Westfields class won a basketball state championship and centrevilles class won 4 games smh

For all the hoopla about Loudoun County football and basketball this season - look who got it done and won states... FAIRFAX COUNTY!

What was the main reason Westfield won states? Who is this Johnson kid who hit 4 3's in the first half?

Johnson has been a very good player all season and has been averaging 15 points per game. He was also a WR on the football team.
