Whats everyones thoughts on the upcoming hs football season?

Who do you have to win? Who are the best players?

Marcus Harvey, Langley

This is the Bruins year!

The Bruins unfortunately are gonna stink this year. Losing an incredible QB and WR is tuff to overcome. The sad part is that we have two pretenders taking over at the QB and #1 WR. Those Quigley boys suk balls. Bunch of hicks. Theyll be exposed now that the real players have graduated.

Division 5 will belong to Stone Bridge as always.

Division 6 I am picking Chantilly, but Westfield, Centreville, Robinson and Oakton can all take it.

Stone Bridge @ Chantilly week 2 should be a hell of a game.

No one is thinking woodson? A who new coaching staff and dedicated players?

Woodson, ha ha ha. 3-7 last year, no real up and comers. Dedicated players? More so than LB or Rob??? And a new staff almost always means a downturn in performance not an upturn - they will be lucky to be 2-8!

That is because they had taylor coaching them. Its going to be different this year.

Woodson legitimate contenders this year, I was there watching my son who plays at herndon and woodson was there and they were good! LB is going to be lost without that UConn QB.

Iagree, if you are going to fake being a parent you should cap proper nouns like Woodson and Herndon. LB will win the district and maybe even the region.

Contenders? Dash - Reeves - Stokes -

D5: #1 fav Stone Bridge and a tie between SoCo and Hayfield for the #2 spot.
D6: Centreville, Chantilly, LB are the top contenders for D6

West Springfield will rule.

Its all about annandale this season!

Well after today's news, it won't be Oakton as a powerhouse!

Do you think will drop off? What really changes?

The Concorde has lost a lot of great coaches this year, but I think it was more the program than the coaches for these schools. Expect Westfield, Oakton and Robinson to all still be very good.

Mike Lalli of Chantilly becomes the district's longest tenured coach.

D6
Westfields-Best staff in the region, sorry Mickey
Oakton-Who's running the O?
C-ville-Haddock can't get lucky 2 years in a row
Chantilly-RJ blows on D
Robinson-Young QB holds them back
Braddock-Back to O & D of the week
Annandale-Very Underated Coach
Fairfax- Their 5-5 Get's them in over W-L's 5-5

D5
Stone Bridge-Best Team in Region
South County- Best D in Region
Hayfield-Fast, young Q
Langley-Big,strong
Yorktown-Good QB. no D
Mount Vernon-District Blows
Madison-New Coaches
Mclean-Bitch Schedule Again, come on Francis?

Westfield is not the best coaching staff in the region. Their great head coach leaves and assistants take over, it's the same coaches they have had.

Centreville is loaded with talent, that was not Coach Haddock getting lucky last year.

You left out South Lakes which is better than a lot of these playoff teams.

I will begin my district by district predictions soon. Up first will be the Liberty District shortly.

This is how I see the Liberty District playing out this year. Madison will be interesting to watch as they have players that can win football games if coached well.

Stone Bridge 9-1
South Lakes 7-3
Langley 7-3
Fairfax 6-4
Mclean 5-5
Madison 4-6
Marshall 3-7
Thomas Jefferson 1-9

Steve you are such a homer. You think chantilly is always the golden goose. No chance they beat stone bridge. The qb will kill their weak pass defense. The fact is chantilly is a good team, not great. When was the last time they beat Oakton ( a strong middle of the pack team)? And they choke in big games. Lets be reasonable and say they finish 7-3 or 6-4 what u got them 10-0?? C'mon man

Chantilly will drop a couple district games. But 8-2 last year, I say 8-2 this year. Go back and look Stone Bridge against Concorde teams and you will see they struggle. Last year they beat a mediocre Westfield team 7-3, have lost to Robinson and Westfield in the past few years, there is no Concorde caliber teams in their district that they play.

My daughters went to Centreville and Westfield, I do admitedly follow Chantilly closely because I graduated there along time ago. But I like to think I am partial when it comes to these teams, and if you have seen what I saw last year, Chantilly will be very good, as will Oakton, Westfield, Robinson, and Centreville.

Ok, here is my assessment of the National Distrct, and yes its the worst district in the region, and yes I am sure their will be negative comments about my post. However, this assessment will be very positive.

Edison - Second season under new coaching staff, they have tons of speed and Talent. If they can get a role, this team can be very dangerous.

Falls Church- Second season under new coach, the entire offensive line is returning, and an all district running back.

Hayfield- Tons of speed, best team in the district, should be playing Stonebridge again for Division 5 Championship

Stuart - Returns several starters from the previous season, good QB and RB. They this team has the potential to be very dangerous.

Mount Vernon- Was very successful the previous season, graduated a lot of players. All district running back is returning. Should do well from last seasons momentum.

Yorktown- Good coach, returns QB from previous season. Yorktown is always a good football team. They can spread you out and throw it or they can line up in Wing-T and run it.

W & L - Lost tons of starters. However, beating Yorktown in a playoff game was huge for them. Hopefully, the team can continue success from the big playoff win. Moving to division 6, however schedule is mostly D5 schools.

Wakefield- This team is not very deep. They have a few athletes, and in my opinion they have the best QB in the district. He is very under rated and could probably start for most schools in the region.

Go ahead and sleep on Lake Braddock!

No question losing Nebrich and Zanelato will sting,it is tough for any team to lose great players, but they have players who will step in and the Bruins will continue to roll.This is a very good group of players who have a lot of time in LB system. Most of the seniors played on the 2009 team that went to the state finals.

Offense:

Say what you want about the Quigley twins at QB and WR, but they are both great athletes at their positions and will help lead this team. Ask any players that have played against them in this region, they will tell you they are legit.

Hoskins at RB is finally healthy this year, look for him to have a great year, and he is only a junor.Um and Wolfe both started at receiver last year and will build on that. Jones played some at RB mostly DB last year, Now at 6'3, look for him to be a huge outside receiver target for Quigley.

The The Oline wasnt very good last year, so this line looks much better.

Oline only returns 2 starters from last years team, but have 2 transfers that have good size and mobilty, which will help solidify the line.

Defense:
This may be the best defense LB has had under Poythress, ask Dishun at Woodson, he will tell how good this defense will be this year.

It will be lead by Long, Tkac, Renzi, Weiler and the transfer kid from Cal.
Look for them to very good and very aggressive.

Like I said before it is very tough to lose great players, but LB coaching staff has done a great job bulding this program for the long haul.

Edison - Second season under new coaching staff, they have tons of speed and Talent. If they can get a role, this team can be very dangerous.
The 1st season with the new coaching staff was embarrassing and frustrating.
Go to the "Edison High Football" thread on Page 2 of this forum.
Three players have left Edison and will be playing for Hayfield, one player will not play this year and chose not to attend Hayfield because they don't offer IB classes or he most definitely would be there.
There's alot of hope that the current coaching staff will be long gone before the next season. Edison has lost their ranking to Hayfield, who would have ever thought since Edison had a powerful team for many years.

I would agree that most will count LB out with losing both Neibrich and Zanellato. Its much more about a program and not just players. Hard to convince one when the majority of the offense went through these two players in 2010.

The Quigley twins come from good pedigree that has thrived at LB. The QB has huge shoes to fill, but has proven that he is up to the task in some of the games last year. His biggest hurdle is learning to not look for his brother on every play and use the other tools that are around him. While the WR is a great target, when he locks in on him, they lose, much like what happened at the Mel Kiper Championship vs. Red Lion the only two games they lost. That was not the only reason they lost those two games, but in the first one, he forced a lot of throws into his brother while others were open. The huge upside to him is that there is time to fix it and he has 3 years in Poythress' system. Make no mistake, these two are very valuable to the Bruins success this year, along with the other 4 receivers.

Now with Hoskins, its not that he was not healthy last year, from the stands it looked like they did not have confidence in him on offense even though he is very athletic. Look at it, when the Senior RB went down with a broken collarbone, they went to Jones at RB a kid who is more of a WR/DB rather than give Hoskins a shot. Even when Jones wasn't getting the job done, they gave him a little taste, but kept putting the kid from St. John's back there who also couldn't get it done. Down the stretch, they went with the MLB back there, a move that could have cost them a chance at the state title. Defensively he started and he was always around the ball at OLB, not sure why they took him off, would have helped in the first Robinson game. IMHO, he is better served on defense. I've seen this kid play a number of times in youth league and he was a stud on both sides of the ball, but haven't seen much on offense on the HS level to say that all the sudden LB will have a running game with him back there, but I could be wrong. My point, the jury is still out on the offense period!

Defensively, I would agree, on paper they should be solid, but will need some work with losing the Mike along with the DC. Transfer kid from Cal??? Where are you getting your info? I talked to one of the coaches and they know nothing about it.

As a Bruin follower for years, I am optimistic about 2011, but to have them 3 peating as Northern Region champs will take some work.

I was out at the MK 7on7 tounament.

I disagree with the previous post, I thought the QB looked pretty good, he threw the ball well to a lot of different receivers, and they scored a lot of points.

The asian receiver Oh, was very good, the ouside receiver was really good too, I think that is Jones or Wolfe. Both caught quite a few passes.

The receiver with purple stripe Quigley, Every team had a hard time covering him. He is a great target.He caught a ton of passes.

I remember Hoskins from youth club football. He is a ok player, at times he looked lost out at MK 7on7.I think he was filling in for a receiver who wasnt there, he dropped several sure TDs.

The Defense looked ok, they played a lot of man coverage.It is hard to tell how good a defense is in 7on7. They had a few stops though. The corners are really good.

Overall I thought Braddock looked pretty good.They will be right in the thick of things for the region..

After viewing the northern region football team camp last week and other passing tournaments it looks like chantilly has the best secondary in the region.

Disagree all you want, but you missed my point. I never said that the QB did not do a good job. Yes, throughout the tournament he did throw to different receivers, however, in the two games against Red Lion, the two in which they lost, namely the first game in the first half, he was trying to go to his brother too much. In fact the pick 6 that was the difference of the game he was trying to force it into his brother who was covered. WR Quigley is good and probably the best they have so he is key in the offense, but he has to learn to use the others more regularly. As you stated, they are capable.

The Asian receiver is Um and Jones did not play on offense.

How did Hoskins look lost? He is slated to start at that position and was not filling in for someone. There were several times he was wide open and the QB did not look his way. Over the course of the weekend he made several key and tough catches in traffic. In fact you state that he dropped several sure TD passes, that is simply not true. He had one or two drops that he should have caught, but he also made great attempts to pull in errant throws from the QB that were well over his head. Most of his catches helped to set up scores (one is on the website as a highlight vs Red Lion) In fact, in their first game alone, the team had 20 or so drops from all the receivers together, something that was very uncharacteristic of the team. The main point here is - spread the wealth and the Bruins will go far.

At any rate, all this is moot, as the pads go on in two weeks and they open up with Centreville, who is sure to be ranked in the top 5 in the Post. So right out of the gate they will be tested. Then we head down to your team's house to go head to head, will the Atoms be ready" Have they figured out who is going to get the QB job?

Judging a team's regular season success based on how they look in 7on7 games is moronic...

Cant be that moronic. Braddock has been pretty dominant in 7 on 7s over the last couple seasons and that HAS translated onto the real field because they have been just as good in real football. I hear what youre saying, but if a team looks real good in 7 on 7s, then odds are theyll be decent when the real thing starts.

Don't sleep on the Raiders. They return 9 starters on offense, including an offensive line that averages 270 across the front. Dual-threat QB, Javonte Robinson, threw for over 1,000 yards and ran for another 700 yards last year. He's paired with 1,000 yard rusher, Chris Kirby, and Texas transfer, Tristan Jordan, to give Stuart a terrific offense.

I will be sleeping on Stuart.

guess Stuart is gonna outscore everybody but I do think you need just a little bit of defense

So by your logic on 7 on 7 games Lee is gonna be awesome. You have to put everything together. Running, blocking and defense. I think you can see talent, but not skill.

Ok, I should mention the 7 defensive starters (including a 1st team DT and two 2nd team LBs) from the defense that gave up 16 ppg?

Championships aren't won on message boards. Let's see how this year plays out.

7 defensive starters from a team thats complete crap is still a team thats complete crap. You could say the same thing about TJ last year if thats the argument you're going to try and make. TJ returned i think 9 starters on offense and they still ended about as bad as ever. 1st team DT and 2 second team LB's in the NATIONAL District. Incredibly weak. If you're going to brag about that kind of stuff then look at stone bridge. I believe their DT was first team all met as a sophomore?

Before you talk trash, why don't you put way the Playstation, and have your Mom drive you to a game.

3301 Peace Valley Lane

Stuart vs. Annandale might be a good one to watch. We'll save you a seat next to the exit.

Jesus, you fuckers need to get a job!

Annandale has it

Have you seen the talent Centreville's been seasoning? I agree with steve k2- that wasn't Haddock getting lucky.

In case you guys weren't paying attention. Stuart had a good offense last year (at least within the division). So returning 9 starters on Offense is a great sign. They were 5-5 last year and in the playoffs for the first time since 1995 I believe. Give them some credit! They have a shot at being #2 in the Division this year behind Yorktown. Ferri's got them playing up. Their D was solid last year too. The only time they ran into a team they literallly couldnt stop at all was Stone Bridge in the playoffs. They were physically too big for Stuart.

Anyone who saw Stuart play last year could see they're a well coached team. I had a long talk with an older Yorktown fan at the Stuart v. Yorktown game last year. Even tho Stuart lost 24-0, he was very impressed with how Stuart looked, disciplined and sticking to their assignments on O and D. The QB understands the offense, and it's well-suited for him. Early on, Stuart fumbled away their chances. 4 fumbles, 2 being after long drives.

Anyway, Stuart is on the short swing up. I think 8-2 is best case scenario. Losing to Yorktown and Annandale. Worst case they go 6-4, also blowing games to W&L and Hayfield that they should win.

Division 5 football must really be a joke. Stone Bridge needs to move D6 and get some real competition.

For the most part, yes. It varies from year to year though.

Please stop wasting everyone's time with passages about Stuart football. As a matter of fact, please stop posting about the National District! On behalf of everyone else on the underground reading this thread we'd like to thank you for obliging this request.

Who REALLY cares about High School Football?????????????? Don't you know that a majority of Northern Virginia have no children in their homes????????

You're ignorant, stop posting.

Patriot District predictions:

TC Williams - unmatched size and speed; D1 kicker
South County - returning O and D lines
WT Woodson - stocked at skill positions
Lake Braddock - no "O" this year
West Potomac - hurt by loss of QB and backs
Annandale - beginning of a long drought
West Springfield - the annual WS-Lee game may be the worst ever
RE Lee - see above

An estimated 177,629 students will begin the 2011-12 school year on Tuesday, September 6, in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), the nation’s 11th largest school system.

Age Group Females Males All Persons
Under 20 Years 13.3% 13.9% 27.3%
20 to 34 Years 9.6% 10.1% 19.6%
35 to 54 Years 16.0% 15.2% 31.2%
55 to 64 Years 6.3% 5.8% 12.1%
65 Years and Older 5.2% 4.6% 9.8%

Under 20 years of age - 27.3%
Over 20 years of age - 72.7%

You must be one of the idiotic coaches

To say Lake Braddock has no "O" is a terrible observation. Tanner Quigley was third in the Met. area in yards and TD's only trailing Zanellato and that Troy kid from Langley. Yes, that is in large part due to Neebs running LB's massive high powered offense but if the kid couldn't catch the ball he wouldn't have.

Say what you want but Tyler Quigley's field vision might give Nebrich's a run for it's money. (Pretty much only looked to his numbers one and two before running it himself). Last year when Nebrich had to sit due to injury, Quigley stepped up big the first half in his start at Lee and found receivers Nebrich rarely got the ball to. Jones, Um, Sica and Weiler join the twins to step in and pretty much complete the same stacked spread offense from last year. Yeah I'd say they have some "O".....

Hoskins is over hyped. Only made the varsity squad his freshman year cause his father is a coach and plays favorites. Health wasn't an issue as much as him being mentally ready to play at the varsity level. Which he still may not be but for the DEFENSE's sake, hope he is. He's much more valuable at DB anyways.

As for TC's D1 kicker, the Bruin's kicker Nick Weiler is not only a D1 talent but a three year starter and by far the most experienced kid on the field. Kicking to a state championship as a sophomore should speak for itself.

Poythress will have his boys ready. The LB dynasty is far from over and sure doesn't look to be taking a year off.

Only speak on things that you really have knowledge about!!!

To say that Tyler will be as good or even compete for Nebrich's numbers is foolish. He'll get his, but the offense will have to be more balanced without Nebrich's dual threat ability. Jones is athletic but can't catch, and both he and Weiler will probably play on Defense. Sica can catch but is slow and will probably see more time on JV than Varsity.

Hoskins over hyped??? By whom? But make no mistake about it, he can play on either side of the ball. And if you think he made varsity freshman year because of his dad, you are really an idiot. Renner himself pulled him up after watching him in drills the first week of practice. To say that his dad plays favorites is asinine, he was not his position coach and in fact did not think he was ready for varsity going in. You sound like a bitter player or parent of a player that must feel that their kid got slighted. I've known the elder Hoskins for years, my son played for him and the one thing he doesn't do is play favorites! In Poythress' system, the kids that put in the work and can play, plays. Does Weiler play because his dad is the OC? I guess the Quigley boys only play because their father is on the staff along with their older brother who was a LB QB himself is also on staff, huh?

Everytime I'm up at the school, I see the kid in the weight room, working or on the blacktop doing footwork drills. Looks like he doesn't have to be given anything, he working for his. Mentally ready my @$$, he started the first 5 games at backer and consistently had his name called out for making the tackle. He started 3 other games on offense, but I guess his dad made them do that too! GTFOH! This kid would play on any team in the Region on either side of the ball.

The one thing that you said that made sense is that LB will open some eyes. The opener vs. Centreville will tell a lot.

Great post Mrs. Hoskins

Quigley will be a solid QB, but not a Nebrich. Hoskins plays LB/RB not DB. Quigley was not great in his start at Lee. Lee sucked last year and they held him to 14 points in the first half. As soon as Nebrich went in the second half he torched lee for like 4 TD's.

As for the rest of the patriot:

WS= suck bad
Lee= suck worse
SoCo= Good in D5 and solid in district play
Annandale= don't sleep on them. May shock some people
Woodson= another sleeper, expect D to be better with Dishun
TC= Mediocre as usual, talent is always there, but don't play well
West Po= Same as TC

Quigley will do well at QB, he is athletic and very fast, has a good arm and knows the offense. He also runs well.He doesnt need to be Nebrich.

The receivers will be very fast, it has playmakers in the other Quigley at receiver, Um, Jones, Wolfe, all run very well.The RB may be SJ transfer, Shanahan,according to the NUC he is one of top recruits for 2013.

The defense will be much stronger with the addition of the Robinson coach, will be lead by Tkac, Long, Weiler and the transfer from Stonewall.

Centreville will be a tough test for them

I think the district will be competitive, but LB will win it.

Does anyone have any idea who the starting quarterback of Oakton is?

Typical Oakton, there is another qb battle. I guess having two solid qbs is better than none. Tuck Masker and Kyle Downer will fight it out during two a days.

Both those guys are only decent.

who are some of the best players in terms of being able to play at the next level this year? BTW, ive seen Braddock last year, the twins are not fast, but they are quick (difference). i think the reciever can play at a FCS school though. Also what happened to the stone bridge runningback? where did he go?

Hayfield has about 4-5 players that could easily go on and play D1 caliber football

So Co has about the same amount that could go and play as well

Hahaha nobody ever said Quigley would be anywhere near the player that Michael Nebrich was. That's a huge assumption. I think the message was more that obviously graduating a player like Mike leaves a huge void in a program. But LB's problem isn't going to be at the quarterback spot. Just cause he's NOT the superstar they had last year doesn't mean Quigley isn't a capable and talented kid.

No, no they don't.

Both of the Oakton QBs are solid Quarterbacks. It should be quite a battle until the decision is made by the coaching staff. My bet is that which ever one gets the start at Oakton will get All-District honors.

I can see you still think this is the 70's Andy Gibb, times and things have changed, go back and make some music and leave the football to people who actually know something about it.

Hayfield definately doesnt have 4-5 D-1 caliber players, I dont believe they even have one of that caliber. If so, who on their team is good enough to play at the next level?

Anton McCallum accepted D2 shepherd to stay closer to home most all his D1 offers were from out west
Hashim Sesay walk on at Norfolk state

Hayden Knudson, Anthony Wilson, Wesley Scott, Kelechi Adoma

Hayfield sucks. They get there ass kicked whenever they play a good team. Chantilly has beat them by like 40 and 20 the last two years and for the life of me, I can not figure out how they made the D5 region final.

South County's Van dyke, Centervilles defensive end, Stone Bridges Allen, Langley's Harvey have best chances of playing D-1 ball. 0Next i would say the reciever Quigley, then i have no clue who else. Stone Bridge should be the best team, best/most innovative coach, solid players, more dominance.

Can somebody tell me whose gonna be the quaterback for chantilly this year? Also, I heard they have 4 running backs? 2 seniors, 2 sophmores? whose gonna start?

Chantilly's QB will be (Jr)Sonny Romine (Younger brother to past QB Carson Romine).

The backfield is probably the deepest the district has to offer. Starting at HB will be Jimmy Hicks. Hicks provides power and speed.

Starting at FB will be William Hill. He is probably the most physical runner Chantilly has, not to mention he brings some speed to the table as well.

I believe one RB is a sopomore and the other RB is a Junior. The Junior RB saw a lot of reps last year, don't be surprised to see him in the backfield and Hicks running the split end.

If you don't care about HS football, why are you even reading these posts?!?

Exactly, a damn moron.

Why doesn't Langley get any respect? Great coaches, biggest kids, one kid can bench 400+ on that team

Not to mention Trent Pace (former RB Torrian's brother) playing tight end. Chantilly's offense is going to be sick, as long as their line plays well.

I would disagree with Langley's coaches being good. Langley is always going to get talent. They have always had great line play and showed signs of dominance at time, but they go and beat a good team by 20 then lose a close game to a bad team, no consistency.

They rarely have big play makers, so they need to play more of a disciplined pound the ball behind that huge o-line and if they get good at that then maybe they could knock off a good team.

But well coached? No. They never advance in the playoffs and have the power to do so almost every year.

Langley doesn't ever have that much talent, the coaches do the best they can. They are great coaches, they almost beat chantilly last year. He is a great guy, whose players love him, and in general his coaching has made them great people. He should have got the Robinson job, o well, their loss.

No, Langley has great talent. Look at their records across the board in all sports, you know you're going to have a tough game playing Langley regardless of the score.

Langley almost beat Chantilly and crushed a great Mclean team by 44 and yet they struggle against much weaker teams in Madison and Fairfax. There teams have always been inconsistent and that is why Robinson passed on him.

I saw the Langley, Mclean game and although Mclean rolled over I saw what Langley was capable of and coach could not get that level of play out of his players on a consistent basis. That team had tremendous talent and underachieved.

To say Madison and Fairfax are weak teams is idiotic. Madison has been beating good teams for years and fairfax beat a good Robinson team last year. Lieb (no longer at MHS) and Simonds run hard nosed, smash-mouth programs at their respective schools. They can beat almost anybody if things go the right way on game night. Smash mouth football gives teams a chance against more talent.

Madison won one game last year, so stfu.

Langley was far more talented than Fairfax too.

Mclean was not a great team. Langley other than the qb and wr did not have great talent. Madison sucked. Fairfax was ok. Your not great if you get beat by 40

Madison had one bad year and now they suck? Two years ago they beat stone bridge... One bad year doesn't make a team bad. Robinson has had losing seasons in past years and they are still a good program. Now, Lieb leaving Madison does not bode well for that school, but to say they sucked overall is stupid.

Well Madison may have beat Stone Bridge a couple years ago, but they've never been a real contender for the region if my recollection is correct.

Then for the life of me I don't understand why people are calling for Lieb's head last year as a coach, and now people are saying they'll miss him.

they sucked, they won i think one game last year? Last year they sucked, you cannot deny that, unless you think one win teams in the liberty don not suck lol.I dont see how you say langley was more talented than Fairfax, even if anything. The guy talking about madison not sucking, example texas last year sucked (college football). The year before they played in championship. But they did suck last year

Mclean will surprise some folks this year. They don't have huge talent, but they are extremely well coached. Jim Patrick really knows how to coach high school football. On top of that, he is just a really classy guy.

I will be at all of the McLean games this year. I have become a McLean fan!

Yes patrick is one of the best coaches in the area already. Unlike some other coaches, he tries to get the ball to his best players where they can succeed. He obviously gets the most out of his players, and if he gets talent, they will be good. this year, i dont know, we will have to see, but unlike last year, they should be able to beat rival Langley.

Enjoy Coach Patrick this season because this is it for him. He is the new McLean DSA, effective November 1. This is fact, not speculation. Done deal, and I NEVER post unless I am sure and my track record is perfect on this. (One example:I was blasted for posting that PJ Kelly was leaving Fairfax for Stuart, yet i was right all along )

because apparently they are better than in years past, they beat the teams that were put in front of them, how naive can you be not to see that. Then again reading some of the posts from some people I really can see, lol

oh WAIT, lol

I guess making all STATE would mean your still not good enough to play D1 caliber football either does it, so funny how some people think because the school may have not been good in the past, that PLAYERS and coaching can't turn a program around

just because you make all-state doesnt mean you are D1 quality. Langley had a receiver tie the state record in catches, but he didnt get a sniff from D1. You really dont know football, you havent named one player on the team who went D1 or is a true D1 prospect.

For ur entertainment purposes here u go

Hayden knudson being looked after by Richmond new Hampshire deleware Florida just came
Anthony Wilson wvu Richmond Nebraska
Wes Scott looked at by psu

Antonio mccallum accepted shepherd but was looked at by elon ecu jmu went to hargrave and took offer from shepherd
By no means are we world beaters but we do have a few players that can play

Lee is my sleeper pick this year. They have excellent skill players, as shown by their success in 7-7 tournaments this year. Their offensive line will be the decider, if they at least manage a decent one I think they'll be contenders in the Patriot League. If not...well then you know.

After watching every game last year this is my prediction for the bruins.
1. The defense will be stifling.
-tkac is an absolute stud and will step right into the leadership role vacated by that fat kid weidinger.
-the secondary will be much improved
-their achilles heel will definitely be the line. Replacing mike newman, eric street, and emmanual a., all which could get to the QB last year will be tough.

2. The offense will be good enough.
-only time will tell how tyler quigley will do, but he's in a system that can succeed at the high school and has great playmakers at wr
-at wr... tanner quigley will obviously be his favorite target as he should be, but look for justin um to have a huge year. He may be a small asian kid, but hes quick, fearless, and the hardest worker on the team.
-one part that should be improved from last year will be the line. It was absolutely terrible last year and rarely gave nebrich time to progress in his reads.
-the running game, as always, will be a mere afterthought. Apparently shanahan has blazing speed but for some reason doesnt perform well (maybe bad reads)

Overall I think they have a good chance for another region crown, but i don't know shit about anybody else in the region.

if Lee is your sleeper pick then I don't want to see the rest of your picks... Tyler Quigley's throwing stats will be just as good as Nebrich's were. And Tanner Quigley will have better numbers than Zannelato last year. Justin Um, Austin Wolfe, and Corey Willingham are solid at the other WR positions. And little RB Trevor O'Brien is solid as well. That is only one side of the ball, where there defense is amazing this year with players like Ricky Tkac, Eric Long, Tarrayck Hollins, Romario Peart, Popo Renzi, Nick Weiler, Jason Hoskins, and Will Baskin once he comes back from injury in about 8 weeks. the defense maybe better than the 2009 bruins defense. and their opponents will have to go 80 yards on them every possession after a score because Nick Weiler kicks a touchback every single time.

the bottom line is come thanksgiving the Bruins will have completed their 3 peat for becoming district champs and region champs. and in the beginning of decemeber they will be celebrating Coach P's first state title at UVA.

MARK IT DOWN

I agree that the Bruin's D will be WAY improved this year overall, with the ability to cover receivers like glue. The one thing everyone overlooks is the fact that Tyler is way more suited for the spread offense than Nebrich's was the past years, sure Neebs had so much talent AND speed to make plays when everything broke down, but the O-line should be improved and the difference between Tyler and Nebrich is like comparing Colt Brennan and Colin Kapernick. Both QB's are GREAT and succeed/will succeed in their own way, Tyler has the ability to go through reads and will not scramble from the pocket immediately because he knows he can move and keep his eyes downfield and make a play with his arm not his feet.

Centreville @ Lake Braddock week 1 should be one hell of a measuring stick. I look forward to making the trip out for that game.

I agree Steve, but the only thing for me is how Lake Braddock's team seems to improve so much as the season goes on (as I'm sure most, if not all HS teams do) but Lake Braddock, in the past two seasons, has overcome tough early season losses only to beat those same teams on thee way to back to back region titles and one HORRIBLE missed fumble call away from a state title
In 2009.

Tyler Quigley will throw at least 25 touchdowns, 2700 or more yards, and the Bruins will be 7-3 going to playoffs. Tanner will catch the most balls on the team and he will finish with the most receiving yards on the Bruins and be in the top ten in touchdowns in the district. After that I don't know. Mark my anonymous words down. I don't wanna sound like an ass kisser saying it out loud on facebook, but if you'd like, show this to the quigleys after the season. I will come back to this and I KNOW I'll be right. You haters are going to be very surprised at what the Q's do this year.

There's a MAX of 1 game LB Could lose this year....... Robinson literally is horrendous, woodson's QB couldn't hit the Pacific Ocean if he stood on the coast, Annandale = overhyped.
CVille could be a blemish inthe Bruin's record, but don't expect any othe losses after that. Even if LB loses to Cville, expect them to make a strong and SUCCESSFUL title run (as always)

Jesus, there are a lot of LB homers on here...

Tell me about it. NEWS FLASH: Lake Braddock lost a division 1 qb and division 1 wr, they are not that good without them.

How is Annandale over hyped?
