In my opinion they have no chance.

But if they win and Langley wins then they replace Mount Vernon as 8th and there are no other changes to the above bracket. If Langley loses then the bracket is uneffected by the Edison outcome and looks like:

Stone Bridge
Yorktown
Hayfield
Madison
South County
Lee
McLean
Langley

so there are there any circumstances where Madison and Langley would play each other in the 1st round?

There is at least one, but it requires Woodson to beat SC AND about 5 other games to go opposite of what I've predicted. I wouldn't bet any money on this pairing.

Just Saying.. South County has the most rowdy, obnoxious student section ever. That might be factoring into their winning streak..

what are the current seedings for Division 6 AAA? Westfield already has the number one seed, I get that and Centrevile has the 2 seed and Oakton 3 and Chantilly 4 but who brings up the bottom half of the bracket?

Are you serious? you start your defense to the Quigleys are assholes with "Sure they have had incidents, but what kid in high school is squeaky clean?" I would say about 99% are squeaky clean, especially when compared to these 2. I do not know them from Adam and I would have never even given it anymore thought UNTIL I read your reply. They must be aholes, if you can only defend them with the old "sure they are aholes, BUT all high school kids are aholes defense."

I would bet the problem is enablers like you did not correct them, so they dont know any better than to act like they do. If they were my boys and they acted as has been reported there would have been swift and immediate response with the knowledge that continued bad actions would bring more and escalated reaction.

Oh I can read just fine. But what about you? you seem like you aren't smart enough even to spell out computer. You make yourself sound like a dumb ape who sat there and pressed the big shiny button that says "post message" and obviously you don't have the patience or the comprehension to understand that computers need to load and don't work right away all the time. I bid good day to you sir, and pick fights with the right people

Stat guy - u said the Edison outcome doesn't effect the rest of the bracket then how does stonebridge jump Yorktown in ur most recent bracket when nothing has changed from two days ago?

What's more likely to happen? Herndon upset Westfield or Oakton upset Centreville?

My original predicted bracket is based on my prediction of all 15 games (actually 20 because there are 5 non-regional teams that effect the power points). Included in those I predict that Langley will win. To answer the Edison question I had to consider what would happen if Langley loses, if that does happen then Stonebridge and Yorktown flip places and the bracket is as listed.

Stats guy is just throwing around a bunch of predictions, anyone without a life can calculate the power points for 20 probable outcomes, the fact of the matter is there are 400 possible outcomes and all this playoff talk is mere speculation. Let it play out.

To tossup, no way either upset happens, but Herndon beating Westfield would be far more of a shocker than an 8-1 oakton team beating Centreville. Bad question.

In the meantime here is the scoring line for week 10, what a quick season it was...

Annandale @ Lee (-14.0)
Centreville (-14.5) @ Oakton
Hayfield (-14.0) @ Edison
Herndon @ Westfield (-38.0)
Lake Braddock (-3.0) @ West Springfield
Langley (-6.0) @ Mclean
Marshall @ Madison (-21.0)
Robinson @ Chantilly (-7.0)
South County (-6.0) @ Woodson
South Lakes (-7.0) @ Jefferson
Stuart (-28.0) @ Falls Church
Stone Bridge (-22.0) @ Fairfax
Wakefield @ Mount Vernon (-17.5)
Washington-Lee @ Yorktown (-27.0)

I would like $1000 on Herndon +38 against Westfield. Where can I place that bet?

Wow why all the anger. I have a spreadsheet so it takes less than 5 minutes to determine powerpoints give 15 game predictions - how long does it take you to come up with your point spread predictions?

I picked the games the same as you except for TJ and you forgot WestPot which I predict to beat TC. Running the spreadsheet with your predictions yields the same results for both divisions.

Oakton upset Centreville. Won't happen, but it's far more possible. There is no chance for Herndon upsetting Westfield.

I am a westfield high school fan and let me tell you that Westfield can't get cocky against Herndon, we have lost to them in the past namely the year after our 2007 state championship team, we lost to them in double overtime.....now that game was at Herndon and it was their homecoming game....but this game is at westfield and we're number one in the state for a reason! Wetsfield and Centreville both roll this week

Herndon has no chance. Oakton has a chance but I would expect that centreville looks to bounce back big after suffering their first loss on the eve of the playoffs. The only upset that has a chance is Edison over hayfield. Hayfield has struggled with subpar teams. They are anemic on offense. If their special teams and defense do not score hayfield struggles to put points up. Edison has talent on offense they just need to put it together.

Is Hayfield still the 3 seed if they lose to Edison?

WESTFIELD BABY!

Yes, read above post on Edison.

Centreville is a better team then westfield and played better on Friday night they just had a bad special teams play that cost them the game. Westfield had 74 offensive yards. Thats horrible.

Thanks, Steve. Now the scores:

Annandale 17 - Lee 45 (the Atoms are worn out and uninspired)
Centreville 28 - Oakton 7 (too much CV dee)
Hayfield 21 - Edison 23 (upset of the week!)
Herndon @ Westfield (-38.0) (yep... it'll be ugly)
Lake Braddock 42 - West Springfield 20 (two headed QB monster for LB rules)
Langley 24 - Mclean 21 (OT win for Saxons in the annual rivalry game)
Marshall 10 - Madison 21 (closer than u might think)
Robinson 20 - Chantilly 17 (Rams enter playoffs via front door)
South County 31 - Woodson 0 (GUARANTEED shut out!!)
South Lakes 14 - Jefferson 17 (a win on Fri night and 1600 SATs the following AM)
Stuart (-28.0) @ Falls Church (yep, 28-0 sounds good)
Stone Bridge (-22.0) @ Fairfax (another yep, 29 - 7)
Wakefield 7 - Mount Vernon 34
Washington-Lee @ Yorktown (-27.0) (nope, more like 48 - 0)
WP 35 - TCW 14

Don't think Robinson will be able to score 20 on Chantilly, nor will they win.

Even though I hate both Centreville and Westfield, I'm actually an Oakton fan. Props to Westfield for pulling out the W with such a bad display on offense.

did you see the final score buddy? we forced turnovers which is a key aspect of good football, NOT lucky football. Good defense is stopping an opposing team inside the red zone and forcing key turnovers (i.e.) limiting c-ville's offense to ten points, getting two critical turnovers, one of which was on Westfields six yard line in over time. WHS offense ran dive after dive play but their defense played VERY GOOD sound football, don't be pissed off that you lost. Be happy that y'all played with the other best team in the state, Westfield and Centreville are tops in the state far and away and both will meet again for the Northern Region Title, no questions asked, this time the game will be at Westfield and could very much be a completely different game. Next time, Centreville is gonna come in with anger about losing the first time, don't get angry, you can't change the past. However focus on the future because you know westfield is gonna be ready to go when that day comes bro!

c-ville will win the next time they play westfield....GUARANTEED I will cover all bets.

@ roll tide, you can't ever guarantee anything, I'm not guaranteeing Westfield beats them again, I'm merely saying we'll be ready to go next time we play centreville, C-ville better be ready to play to

Hahahahah you sound like a lunatic. You'll get crushed the next time you play Centreville. Have fun!

c-ville can talk all the crap they want, but westfield is #1 in the state and #48 in the country and c-ville is not AND THATS A FACT! i dont think only scoring 10 points is much of an ass kicking if you ask me. AND yes c-ville offensive was better but westfield did enough to win obviously.

Ratings mean nothing now that both teams have clinched 1 and 2 and are still 1 and 2 in the state.

Props to Westfield for getting the win, but everyone at the game walked away thinking Centreville was the better, more complete team. If anything I think the loss makes them that much hungrier when they meet up in the Region Championship. Centreville will beat Westfield, not a thought, just a fact.

I would like to comment on the Westfield vs. Centreville game. I read all of the comments and the bottom line it was a GREAT football game. My opinion is that if you hold a team to 75 yds total offense and lose .. shame on you. It also helps when you have an ex Westfield coach (current Centreville coach) teaching the Centreville kids the Westfield offense the week leading up to the game.Westfield offense needs to make some adjustments and Centreville needs to improve on special teams. I look forward to the rematch and wish both teams the best of luck in the playoffs.

Another key item is will Centreville stay healthy. They have multiple kids who play both ways and Westfield has none. This could prove to be critical as they have as many as 6 games left to to win the state title.

Ok, ok, here is the REAL scoop on local high school football. I am an impartial observer who watches as many games as I can around the tri-state area. The way things really are...

Ashburn is the King of Local Football. Stone Bridge, Broad Run, and Briar Woods all have under 2,000 students, and can compete with ANY team in the area, no matter what their size. Heck, you could combine Broad Run and Stone Bridge and have about the same amount of kids as in the larger Div 6 schools in Fairfax. A combined Broad Run/ Stone Bridge team defeats Westfields or Centreville by two scores or more. That is just the way it is.

The Rt 28 Corridor rules the roost. SB, BR, Briar, Westfields, C-Ville and Chantilly all located within 20 minutes of one another - no school more than three miles from Rt 28. Economic development has been a boon to the football programs in these areas.

The Concorde District is still king, but don't sleep on Cedar Run District. Battlefield and Osbourn have very strong programs, and both are HUGE schools in terms of population. Look and see how they did last year.

Yorktown is counterfeit. Sorry, just the way it is. They lose to SB by at least 14, maybe much more.

Northern Virginia is stronger than Maryland, and MUCH stronger than DC. Sorry, Washington Post, but there is more depth and more talent in Northern Virginia, and has been for years. Dematha wouldn't finish higher than third ( maybe as low as fifth!) in the Concorde. Traditional Maryland powers don't stack up that well either, and Maryland names more state champions than just about any state except New Jersey. ( By the way, NJ and PA both are much stronger than Maryland.) And sorry, Chocolate City, but DC football is simply atrocious. For years, Ballou has come to Nova to play, and is usually sent packing. Then, they go and run through the public school league.

Centreville will win their region, and so will Stone Bridge.

Look for Battlefield to take Div 6 in NW - same with Broad Run in Div 5.

Briar Woods will win AA Div 4 states.

All in all, sports fans, we should feel very lucky to have so much talent and perhaps just as importantly, such great coaching in this area.

First off, the WCAC is stronger than any of the leagues in DC, MD, and VA. Dematha's freshman teams could beat some of the varsity teams in Virginia. You're crazy if you think that Dematha, which sends out multiple kids to FBS football programs EVERY YEAR would not win the Concorde. You are obviously biased; I hope you understand that future 4 and 5 star recruits were on Dematha's freshman teams a few years ago. And Dematha hasn't even been that great since Coker left (you know, Iowa's starting runningback), and Good Counsel has been the best program in DC, MD, and VA the past couple of years. Depth and talent? There are maybe 2 kids in the Northern region who can even run in the 4.5s in the 40. Why don't you take a look at current D1 FBS teams rosters and see how the WCAC compares to all of Northern Virginia, you saying VA has more depth and talent makes you look stupid. Dematha has more 3 star players on its team than all of Northern Virginia combined.

Ok, so you pick the one program in DC that happens to recruit from the entire area to try and make your point? Silly, bro. Great retort by the way, to mention a RB from Iowa, like that kid is some stud or something. How about the QB's from NOVA that can be found all over the ACC?
The original post wan't perfect, but much closer to the truth than your response. DC has a FEW outstanding athletes but rarely do they have any depth or the discipline of a Northern VA team..
Oh, and your example of Good Counsel? Another private school that happens to be in Maryland.
I think the original poster was speaking of public schools, and not football factories that recruit better than U of Maryland to get their kids.
I happen to agree with you that Good Counsel and Dematha are as good as top VA teams, but comparing them is like comparing apples and oranges.

The guy said that Dematha would be 3rd, possibly 5th place in the Concorde. That is a joke. DC public schools have put out some good players, but overall, they have not been very good (Dunbar was a while back with Benn). The only problem I had was when he basically said the Concorde is stronger than the WCAC, which is what I implied when he mentioned DC and Dematha in the same sentence. He is correct on pretty much everything else. And remember, the "few" DC athletes are still better than the few NOVA ones. Look at the players who've dominated NOVA, they wouldn't even start at some WCAC schools. Now Nebrich and Zannelatto, they could play. Which is why the are playing FBS football. And the Iowa runningback I mentioned? Yeah, maybe if you followed college football, you'd know he is arguably the best runningback in the big ten...and future at least 3rd round draft pick. And the qb's from NOVA all around the ACC? Recently, you mean only Glennon? NOVA does not produce nearly the talent the WCAC or even possibly DC does. You really do not want to start a list comparing players from just one WCAC team to NOVA ones playing college football. And DeMatha and Good Counsel are not possibly as good as the top NOVA teams, they are better. Centreville doesn't have 220 pound plus runningbacks that run 4.5 on their team, ever. Theyll have a kid whose 5-8, 190, and runs a 4.9. In years past, Dematha has had double digit players over 300 pounds on their roster, who could play. And Dematha is very down currently, but would annihilate all but few NOVA teams.

Hasn't Dematha lost three games so far this year, including one just recently to Gonzaga? (BTW, the Post is in complete denial about this.) It's an understatement to say that Dematha is very down right now...and given their tradition of winning and their ability to recruit players from anywhere in the area,how could this happen? If Westfield, Oakton, C-ville, or Chantilly could recruit players from across Fairfax they'd never lose a game.

Dematha is at its worse since before their current players were born. They changed their coach. But they would still beat down most of NOVA badly. Please stop using the recruiting excuse, yes they can recruit, which is why they are not worse than Westfield and Centreville. Good Counsel would WAX both Westfield and Centreville. The weakest team in the WCAC would compete with the best in NOVA as well. I think Stone Bridge can technically recruit players, as students get to choose high school (I know there are certain restrictions). Anyways, the WCAC is the strongest league in the area, but back to Northern Region football-

Westfield wins D6 playoffs; Stone Bridge wins D5.

Loudoun County kids do not get to choose where they go to school. Families move into the area and choose to live in areas that attend school at Stone Bridge, or Briar Woods, or Broad Run. For the last time, Loudoun kids CAN NOT choose where they go to school!

Ok, enough with throwing out Good Counsel and Dematha. You do realize that they are PRIVATE schools that recruit ALL of their kids, don't you?

You want facts: Virginia public school football is better than Maryland, and Maryland public school football is better than DC. Bonus nugget: Except for Martinsburg, West Virginia is pretty bad as well.

Centreville beats Westfield in 6 finals - count on it.

All the kids are not recruited who play for the private schools, so you're wrong. For basketball, yes, but not entirely for football. The only reason those two schools were brought up is because someone said they would be third in the Concorde district. And if you ask certain coaches around the area, they believe Stone Bridge does "recruit" their players. Some say they get the players to just move into that area or claim residency so that they can play. I personally know of one who was not in the boundary, but still went there-to play football.

http://www.owlsports.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4640&path=football

Coyer played a pretty decent game last...

Because Temple is in the ACC....

Don't forget about Renner at UNC (former West Springfield quarterback). The kid is a stud... I can see him playing on Sundays in a few years

the WCAC do have some of the best players in the country and Good Counsel is #1 in the area for a good reason and best team in the area. Damatha in the other hand would have trouble against Westfield and Centreville, and yes Damatha sends kids to D1 school because of their reputation they have built. They get college coaches come watch them more than any other schools in the area, but like i said they have earn that. If you put a Manny Smith or Kendal Anderson into a Damatha or Good Counsel they would too be going to top teams in the country and they are both very capable of playing in D1 schools. This year the concord district has been named as the powerhouse in Virginia and has gotten a good reputation even in ESPNrise not just locally. It would be sick if they had a tri-state championship where the best team in VA DC MD and Private school play each other to claim the best team in DC metro area but since thats never going to happen we can only talk!

Have a clue dumb ass!!! The Northern Region puts guys in D1 schools every year also it has dominated D6 football in the state for years. Beating teams from the 757 that are loaded with D1 talent. Every team in the Concorde has won at least 1 State championship except Herndon who should not be in the Concorde. If you want I can list the NFL players out of the Concorde in the last 12 years.

Yes there is a pretty good list of NFL players from the Concorde

There are still more NFL players from DeMatha than all of Northern Virginia over the past 12 years so...please hop off NOVA, those kids you named at Westfield and Centreville wouldn't even see the field at DeMatha and Good Counsel. Fact. Actually Anderson would, but wouldn't get much time at GC. Smith, not so much. And they wouldn't be putting up anywhere near the stats they are now.

rooting for Wakefield to upset Mount Vernon. And Edison and Mclean to lose as well. So Stuart can get in! i know not likely.

so I feel sorry for Falls Church tonight. theyre gonna get pounded by an angry Stuart team cuz they're missing the playoffs. KEEP THE BELL & GO RAIDERS!

...all those teams suck.

LOL all this talk about Stuart football and they can't even get in the D5 playoffs... The sad part is this is a strong team for them.

Westfield will powm them all!

Westfield is not in D5 you stupid idiot. I wouldn't expect a Westfield fan to know any better though.

Robinson 20
Chantilly 3

Centreville - 42
Oakton - 14

Discuss

It was 6-3 until 3 minutes left, Robinson marched down for a td and then recovered a fumble on the ensuing kick off. It wasn't as big a blowout as the score indicated but it was real bad in a string of real bad for Chantilly. Robinson pounded the ball up the middle the whole game and dominated Chantilly's defensive line.

Chantilly died after that Westfield game, sure they were playing better teams, but the offense got less creative, player performance went down, and that team I have seen play the last 5 weeks does not remotely resemble the team from the first 5 weeks. They play with no heart, went 1-4 in the district, and got their ass rocked by a 3 win Robinson team.

They'll be a one and done in the playoffs, there offense is hopeless and the play calling is even worse.

Nothing to discuss with the Centreville game, they're the best team in the state, Centreville and Westfield are on a whole nother level and they will cruise into the region championship game.

Centreville Oakton was 14-7 at half Oakton was playing well then two back to back turnovers inside their own 20 killed them. It was a lot closer then the score indicates. Looking forward to the the rematch round 2 of the playoffs oakton is a good team.

Even though Westfield beat them head to head and has a better record? Hmm I don't think so. Westfield is the best team in the state.

C.D hylton is a good contender. (but thats only because they recruited some DeMatha transfers)

Division 6

(8) Robinson @ (1) Westfield

(7) Fairfax @ (2) Centreville
*Coach Haddock takes on his former team for the second consecutive year.

(6) Lake Braddock @ (3) Oakton

*This is assuming WestPo wins today against TC Williams, if they lose, Chantilly will get the home game and be the 4 seed, but I don't see that happening.

1st round games are on Friday night, 11/11/11

Anyone think Braddock could do something in the playoffs? Although they got off to a pretty bad start, trying to stick with the offense that was once so successful with Nebrich and Zannelato, the past 2 games they have switched to a wildcat offense, where Greg Jones, who is in as the wildcat quarterback most of the time, rushed for 220 yards on 20 carries and 3 TD's against Woodson and 190 yards on 19 carries and 3 TD's against West Springfield. Lake Braddock dominated both games, winning 37-7 and 41-17 respectively. This wasn't very good competition so I wonder if it will work against the likes of Oakton, but Lake Braddock seems to be peaking towards the end of the season.

Thoughts?

Couldn't agree more. Braddock will beat Oakton and probably beat Centreville the week after. Both of those two are overrated.

Oakton, maybe, but Centreville, you're dreaming. BTW, Oakton lost their placekicker with a broken leg in the Centreville game, so that could influence the outcome.

I was at that game and his injury did look pretty painful/severe. But if i recall correctly the backup kicker wasn't too shabby, so maybe it won't effect them that much. Oakton could be "overrated", but there is no way they lose to Braddock in the first round. Centreville will cruise past Fairfax with no problem whatsoever It looks like the Cougars and the Wildcats will see eachother again in 2 weeks. Should be a good one.

W-L put a good scare into Yorktown, rallying to tie it at 33 in the 4th Quarter. It was an exciting 3 hour game at Greenbrier Stadium, between two of the oldest rivals in the Northern Region. And in the end, good payback for Yorktown, after W-L spoiled its playoff plans last year.

There were a lot of people last night at Greenbrier from that 1970 W-L/Yorktown game where W-L came up with the upset and knocked Yorktown out of contention for the region championship, which it was supposed to win.

i've seen Oakton, Westfield, and Centreville. Centreville and Westfield are both much better teams then Oakton and i'd be shocked if those two dont rematch in the region finals.

Braddock ain't getting through to the Northern Region title game, It'll be Westfield and Centreville in the Regional title game

Fairfax and Lake braddock will be knocked out first round

Braddock is going to absolutely FUCK oakton. They are not going to have an answer for Greg Jones in the wildcat. We'll be playing Westfield for the Regional title soon enough. Mark my words.

oh yeah. as well as Robinson and I dare say that Chantilly could lose as well

It's so funny that you all thing that LB will suddenly start beating these teams...

They're going to get crushed and be out. Final.

Anyone giving SoCo a chance to knock off SB in the D5 playoffs?

I haven't seen SoCo play so I don't know how good they are but they've played more D6 schools this year (admittedly not the strongest D6 schools) than SB and the Liberty district has been pretty weak this year (I don't give Madison, Mclean or Langley much of a chance).

Braddock is nothing to talk about in all honesty.

Offense is soft, defense is soft, they don't have any speed. No way in hell they come NEAR Oakton.

Sorry to burst your bubbles.

Chantilly is going to get killed by West Potomic no doubt in my mind

The only thing that they have figured out is that they need the run game to win. The Wildcat has worked the last 3 weeks, but it can only take you so far. Right now, LB has holes, suspect secondary, not all, just a couple of spots and not getting much pass rush up front. Their special teams SUCK, mainly due to personnel, I mean how many times are you going to let teams pooch kick it without getting someone on the hands team that has a clue what to do. Offensively, even with the wildcat, the offensive line is suspect and needs to work on basic skills. This playoff season for Braddock will be an uphill climb! Oakton has very good size and solid ball players on both sided of the ball.


Bruin Pride - don't get too confident, or you'll get your feelings hurt. This team has yet to put all 3 parts of the game together and this is the time of the year that it hurts you most.

Westfield Bulldog - While you guys are a very good team, and clearly the favorite to win the region, that Robinson match up you are facing is no cake walk, don't be the first 1 to get knocked off by an 8.

Haha..... - Great way to put that heat on Oakton, truth or not, that will be b-board material in the locker room.

West Potomac is a very dangerous team and Chantilly will be in for a dog fight.

Centreville might have the easiest road to hoe, Fairfax could surpise, but I seriously doubt it.

SoCo is very dangerous in the 5 and Hayfield could make some noise

when does the list for all-region all districts and allmet players get released?

You have bitter ankles?

@ State of the Region

Very good point, Robinson won't be a cake walk and they never have been a cake walk. We'll be ready to throw our best punches right at them and we'll be ready to fight hard and proud, we won't over look this game.

I think Fairfax has a better shot at beating Centreville then Robinson does beating Westfield.

Incorrect. That is all.

I agree with CVBetterThanWF (his post, not his name). Fairfax is coming into this game ice cold and with their inability to score points coupled with C'Ville's defense I wouldn't be surprised if Fairfax's only points (if they score any) come against 3rd-teamers in the 4th quarter. By contrast, Robinson held Westfield's offense to only 2 offensive TDs in their previous meeting.

Do I think either Fairfax or Robinson will score the upset on Friday night? Of course not. But in terms of who has the harder game, I certainly believe that Westfield has the harder of the two matchups.

As far as CVBetterThanWF's name is concerned, it is just not true (right now). I think one could make the argument that Centreville outplayed Westfield two weeks ago, but good teams find ways to win even when they aren't at their best. If that means relying on turnovers and the kicking game to win, so be it. I'm guessing that C'ville would much rather have a 10-0 record than a 9-1-but-we-outplayed-those-guys record.

Anyone know where to find the concorde all district teams?

any ideas for who will make the all district team as far as the patriot district goes?

can someone post the list of the 1rst, 2nd, and honorable mention teams for the concorde district?

I heard Pisarcik from Westfield got first team over Masker from Oakton. Is that true? Kind of a shame. Masker had a heck of a lot more talent, just didn't have the kind of weapons that Pisarcik had. Two very good QB's though, maybe the two best in the region.

Pisarcik was first team QB while Masker was named first team utility

The one above me is a fake, flattered though that people value my opinions. I haven't heard who got the awards yet for all-district, but Pisarcik is definitely more deserving of the award than Masker. While Pisarcik had a lot more weapons he hit Basil countless times on the deep route, can hit the fade, and run when he has to.

Stuart finished 6-4 = above .500 for the first time since 1995. And that makes back to back .500 or better seasons. It's a hell of a coaching job with their demographics. They shouldve beaten Hayfield and Mt Vernon, but they blew it. The bad news this was probably their best shot at the district. Theyre very senior heavy except in the secondary. There is one bright spot for next year, despite losing the Qb and RB, who were 2 year starters. The OL and DL have underclassmen who are just as big as the senior starters. At least they'll stay big up front.

Stuart 54 Falls Church 26

KEEPING THE BELL WHERE IT BELONGS

when do the all district teams come out? if they have can we get a link?

i heard they are out. just don't know where to find them
