It will be a down year for NOVA football. No where near the talent this year like AJ Turner, Noah Reimers, AJ Alexander, and the like from past few years. Just part of the ups and down of high school football in this region.

It's Good Council and Dematha folks. Don't worry about how Westfield/LB do in scrimmages. It would only be news if NOVA teams actually held their own. I remember watching a few Westfield/Dematha scrimmages from a few years ago when Westfield ended up 12-1. They still got run over bigtime in the the pre-season Dematha scrimmage. It was like watching them play a college football team.

same ole shit....Westfield is over-rated, so is Lake Braddock and South County. One of these teams might make it through Northern Region because the NR is down this year. I have no dog in the fight but I would watch out for Centreville as everyone seems to be totally dismissing them and West Springfield as they actually have a lot coming back. My point is there is no one real, dominant team such as Westfield from 8-10 years ago or Centreville from over the last few years that could be all but banked on. I do think though that a lot of teams do talk a lot of smack for having not really done anything big. Put it out on the field.....

___________________________________________________________________________

Umm, you realize Good Counsel and Dematha recruit, correct? If Westfield was able to recruit the best players from Northern Virginia, DC, and Maryland I'm pretty sure it would be different.

Hell, just if you took the best players from a few teams in 6A North and a few of the Loudon 5A North teams it would be a different story. But they don't and can't because it's a PUBLIC SCHOOL.

The purpose of the game each year is to have a measuring stick to see where their areas of weakness are on Westfield’s team. It also serves as a reality check to keep the players from suffering from the typical high school athlete swollen ego syndrome just because they play for a consistent winning program.

As a matter of fact, just to demonstrate the talent Dematha has one of their running backs and defensive ends who are underclassmen could step onto and play for most college teams. The Dematha coaching staff commented on the fact that this year’s team is probably the most talented they've had in some time.

So, it's pretty unfair to criticize Westfield for not having a strong showing because they're not competing on a level playing field. This was my 5th or 6th Dematha-Westfield scrimmage and it looked pretty much like the previous ones.

Oakton was decimated by the last redistricting. They no longer have the athletes to compete.

That said, I was at the scrimmage. South Lakes didn;t exactly win it. Oakton's QB was injured and they "won" it on second stringers.

I would have realistically called it a tie which is sad by Oakton's standards.

Ocean Lakes recruits - yes, take a look on the internet. But who said that Cville recruits? Proof????? No, Chad Wiggins was part of an exodus from a Prince William school Patriot High along with 5 others that year including one who went to Westfield. AJ Turner, no - he and his family moved up from Florida before he started his freshman year. Doubt Cville had people down in Florida encouraging them to move to Cville instead of anywhere else in NOVA.

_____________________________________________________________________________

How do you come up with the "Westfield is over-rated" comment? They've gone 47-7 over the past 4 years. They've been to 4 straight region championships, first 2 were Northern Region championships, last 2 were State Semi-Finals.

I don't think an "over-rated" program can boast stats like that. Say what you will but to call Westfield anything other than a solid program is a joke.

Not saying buster that Westfield is not a good program. Of course they and Cville have been the consistent class of Northern Region 6a football with pop ups by Lake Braddock, Oakton, Robinson, etc. from time to time. What I am saying is I have heard a lot of people say that Westfield is a lock this year to represent the NR. Not sure they are that good, some questions on offense, can be beat on defense by a speedy team (yes they are bruisers on D but not incredibly fast). We will see....

While the media doesn't seem to have picked up on it, AJ Turner's cousin is Christian Brooks, the rising Centreville senior who has already received a bunch of D1 offers. I would guess that if you are moving from Florida to the DC area, living close to your family and being in a program where the kids can play on the same team might ease the transition.

What are you talking about that the media hasn't picked up on it?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/recruiting-insider/wp/2015/07/30/centreville-dl-christian-brooks-takes-growing-football-recruitment-in-stride/

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/recruiting-insider/wp/2015/08/21/two-time-state-finalist-centreville-toes-line-between-reloading-and-rebuilding/

The Wildcats aren’t completely devoid of highly touted recruits. Senior defensive lineman Christian Brooks has racked up offers from Miami, Virginia and Vanderbilt, thanks to his versatility and effective blend of speed and power off the line.

http://www.connectionnewspapers.com/news/2015/aug/19/centreville-wildcats-arent-done-yet/

Once again leading Centreville defensively are linebacker Andre Horner and defensive lineman Christian Brooks (6 feet 5, 230 pounds). Brooks is the Wildcats’ biggest college prospect, with 15 scholarship offers to Division 1 schools.

https://virginiapreps.rivals.com/viewrankhs.asp?ra_key=905&Year=2015
The defense sees the return of five starters including Division I defensive linemen Christian Brooks (2016) and Caleb Brooks (2017).

Offense will be fine, especially when Pearson and Monticue suit up. They're currently running an offense that's never been run at Westfield.

If it works great, if it doesn't I'm sure they'll revert back to the ground and pound. Every year it is the same old shit with Westfield, experiment in the preseason but stick with what's made them a consistent winner.

The defense has plenty of team speed, I hope you're not comparing the speed of Dematha's team with them. Westfield will not play a team with that type of speed all season.

Also, you'd have to get past the line of scrimmage in the run game to use any team speed opposing offenses might have. They will be stout, if you're referring to passing that will not be as easy.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Westfield adopt more blitzing when opponents go to the air. They certainly have to ability with their linebacker corps which should be their strength.

Last year in the regular season against Lake Braddock they did not blitz, Edwards had a good day. In the playoff game, Westfield blitzed on almost every down and racked up 8 sacks I believe, we know what happened to Lake Braddock's potent offense, it was 41-0 late when Westfield's scrubs went in.

But you're close when you say that Westfield shouldn't be thought as the clear cut favorite. Way too many talented teams in the area to say anyone of them is the king of the hill. That's why they play the game.....

I'm a huge centreville fan and follower. I went to high school there. Trust me when I say this...Westfield optimizes what high school football should be. Do you realize what that school has done since opening? Yes, Centreville had a great run, but it was only two years. They will not be the same unbeatable force. Somehow, Westfield was the only team how challenged that rare group of talent, and Westfield did not nearly have the same talent on their roster. Their coaches are excellent, their program is top notch, and the students play the game the right way. If any other school have 4 straight northern region runner up trophies, it would be the greatest thing to ever happen to them.

This coming season may shape up to be very interesting indeed. For those who weren’t able to observe either of the Team Camps this month, Oakton's O- and D- Lines looked very strong, but their teamwork is what made them even more impressive so early in the pre-season. To correct an earlier post, last week, South Lakes appeared more dominated vs dominant. Enough said there. Robinson was able to hold their own against SL, but appeared to have a hard time closing holes made by Oakton’s O-line that allowed their QB and quick Backs to muscle through time and time again. Robinson’s offense had quite a bit of trouble executing against Oakton’s Defense as well… with their impressively quick DEs and DBs containing anything outside and down the field, and the combination of DTs and LB’s stopping almost everything within a yard of the LOS. It was obvious that Robinson was getting a bit frustrated... and it wasn’t the heat. Not sure what happened during the other Team Camps this week, but as of right now, my bet is on Oakton to dominate the Region.

So in the span of two months Oakton football went from one posters bet to dominate the region to a tie in a scrimmage with SL? As Steve Spurrier would say, "not to good!"

Concorde Contenders

Rod Johnson
VirginiaPreps.com Senior Editor

For the last half-decade or so, the Concorde District has essentially come down to the Centreville versus Westfield regular season contest and, in most years, the regional championship has been contested between the two programs.

Yet, the district has retained its reputation as the toughest in the state because the other programs in the Concorde are still tough to beat and, at any moment, they seem capable of rising up and taking over again, as they have in the past.

In 214, Chantilly (6-6), Oakton (6-5) and Robinson (6-5) hovered at, or just over, the .500 mark, but each is looking to make a leap this year.

HOW DO THE CONCORDE CONTENDERS LINE UP?

The Chantilly Chargers scored at a 19 points-per-game clip last season and they've got some playmakers in the huddle this year, but they lack experience bringing back only three of eleven starters.

The key to their attack this season likely lies in the performance of senior quarterback David Tamarro (pictured) who did a solid job in limited action last season including throwing for over 180 yards against Oakton in a loss.

He'll be looking to get the ball to athletes Korben Sparks and Marcus Trammell, both seniors. The former will be lined up outside as a wide receiver while the latter will work from the wing taking the ball on sweeps and counters when not pressing action down the field.

Up front, junior Sean Pogorelc will be relied upon to anchor the line of scrimmage while others develop.

While the offense tries to find their footing early in the season, the Chargers defense should be able to keep them in most games as they return a number of experienced players, especially along the line of scrimmage and in the secondary.

Up front, Hozey Haji-Badri returns after suffering a knee injury early in the 2014 campaign and the big man will join sophomore Dylan Menard giving the Chargers two scholarship level players along the line of scrimmage.

In the defensive backfield, seniors Garret Snedeker and Marcus Trammell return giving Coach Mike Lalli an experienced foundation in the secondary.

If the Chargers have a worry on defense, it will be at the linebacker spot where Lalli is not sure what he has outside of junior Conrad Pereira, a potential big-time playmaker.


The Oakton Cougars found themselves in a lot of low-scoring slugfests last season as they averaged just over 13 points per game last season, yet they still won half of their regular season games in large part because the defense limited seven of eleven opponents to 22 points or less.

The unit should be more productive this season as eight starters return to the offensive huddle including four of five linemen. Juniors Pierce Banbury and Tim Forster will form the nucleus of the group along with seniors Bennett Fagan, Mike Hemrich and Jaleel Denson.

Working behind that group is quarterback Sal Tutone, a senior who threw for over 1,000 yards last season. He'll be joined in the backfield by running back Patrick Francisco who will be backed by a trio of newcomers including seniors Chris Ivener, Eric Merten and junior Elias Lindsey.

But, for the big plays, Coach Jason Rowley will be looking for Tutone to hook up with wide receivers Jarret Bacon and Derrick Beale (pictured), both seniors. Bacon snagged 32 passes last season for over 400 yards and figures to be a bigger focal point this year.

"We feel like the offensive line will be our strength," says Rowley. "Also, we have some athleticism at our skilled positions, particularly at wide out. I think that we have a ton of potential."

Seven starters return on the defensive side of the ball including all four along the line of scrimmage where Rowley will open with seniors Matt Vogel, Patrick Davis, Dylan Cardelli and Will Fisher.

Working in the secondary behind the experienced line is a strong corps of defensive backs including senior returnees Derrick Beale, Jarrett Bacon and Nick Hart who will be joined by sophomore Jake Eagan.

Those two groups will sandwich an inexperienced linebacking corps returning no starters. Seniors Brian Jang and Justin Bartee will play alongside junior Chris Walton in the middle of the defense at least giving Rowley maturity, if not experience. "Our linebackers don't have a lot of varsity games under their belts," says Rowley. "Fortunately, they will have a veteran group in front of them and behind them in the secondary."

The group should make life easier for an offense looking to improve as Rowley says that he expects his defense to be one of the top units in the region.

In Scott Vossler's first year as the head coach of the Robinson Rams, things went well until the middle of October winning their first six games of the season including a 19-17 win over neighborhood rival Lake Braddock who finished 10-3 on the year.

The back half of the schedule was not as kind as injuries and stronger opponents resulted in the Rams dropping their final five games of the season with only one contest settled by fewer than 17 points.

Win or lose, the Rams play hard from whistle to whistle and bring a physical presence to the field every week and that won't change this season as Vossler brings an experienced bunch to the gridiron.

Seven starters come back on offense including junior quarterback Alex Miller and three big and talented running backs in Sean Foncha (5-11, 205), Da'Jon Lee (pictured, 6-2, 225) and Roman Lowery (6-0, 215). That gives the Rams a lot of versatility on offense as opposing coordinators will have to be prepared for any of the four to be the focal point of the offense on any given Friday. "Our back are big, strong and experienced. They will determine our success," says Vossler.

Naturally, they'll need help up front and the Rams bring back three guys along the line of scrimmage headed up by junior Nick Bernacchi, a potential scholarship player. He's joined by senior guard Lars Stevenson and tight end Mason Velasquez, a future college baseball player.

"I believe we have the potential to have a very strong offense," says Vossler. "Given what we have returning and our run-first mentality, we have the potential to put tremendous stress on our opponents."

The defense won't be quite as experienced as the offense but three players return to the front seven including defensive end Izzy Isreal, a senior, and linebackers Donnie Warter and Da'Jon Lee.

Along the line of scrimmage, senior Austin Jones will line up at the other defensive end spot while junior Grant Miller provides an anchor in the middle at tackle. "Our front seven has the potential to be strong and we should be athletic at the linebacker position," says Vossler.

If there is a concern for the defense, it comes in the form of a secondary returning no starters though junior Matt Oakley has promise. "We lost six of our top seven in the secondary due to graduation. We will be young and inexperienced on the back end, but we've got a few options back there. The development of those players will determine our success on defense."

The verdict:

All three programs are likely still chasing both Westfield and Centreville this season but each should at least earn a postseason appearance where anything can happen.

As if the Concorde District schedule was not already tough enough, NoVa schedule makers did none of the three a favor with out-of-district games this fall.

I like Chantilly to get off to a hot start likely winning at least three of their first four games and possibly losing only once in the first six games. With Oakton, Briar Woods, Centreville and Westfield sitting on the back half of the season, they will need to get wins early and develop their systems to be fully prepared for a rugged month. If they can pull a minor upset or two, they'll host a home playoff game in the first round.

Oakton has it even tougher with rival Madison, a rebuilding T.C. Williams, Tuscarora, Robinson and Westfield dotting the front half of the docket. Centreville, Chantilly, Broad Run, Falls Church and Herndon offer no respite in the second half.

The Cougars defense will have to be spectacular this fall. Even as their offense improves, it's unlikely that they will be highly explosive. To win, Oakton will likely have to collect low-scoring slugfest type victories which leave little margin for error. They'll win their share but they'll be the underdogs in most of their games.

Like Oakton, Robinson will have to win their share of low-scoring games, but their program is a bit more used to those type of affairs which should allow them a larger comfort zone.

The Rams could use another win over Lake Braddock to really kick start their season as they could potentially win each of their first five games this season. The back end will be a fight each week with Stone Bridge, Westfield, Herndon, Broad Run and Centreville making life tough.

The key for each team will be how they perform against the other two and each could use an upset or two in order to propel themselves into top of the region contention. On paper, it feels like each is a five- to seven-win team which means advancing deep into the postseason means road upsets.

I don't know how you could consider Madison a dark horse. Most pre-season articles I have seen are fairly high on Madison. To be a dark horse, you have to be lightly regarded, and then surprise on the upside. Madison doesn't fit that description.

By the way, Liberty is Conference 6.

I gave the benefit of the doubt to the poster who said the Oakton QB was injured, they played 2nd stringers, etc, so it was roughly the equivalent of a tie and it was just after all just a scrimmage. My real question though is where is the Oakton fanboy who said SL was dominated in the June camps and that Oakton would dominate the region?

His dad??? Is that all you got? Watch the kid play and maybe you'll be able to make an informed comment

Give me a break dude, the only kid on the ALL MET watch list from West Springfield is their kicker, and he moved away months ago. Another 7-4 year beating up on Lee, Edison, and W&L.

Woodson didn't get much out of scrimmaging SL tonight, SL was thumping them 32-7 when I left at the end of Q-3. It may have been worse than that since I got there after the scrimmage started. Woodson could move the ball some through the air with the first team but had no ground game. That usually spells death in HS ball.

Oakton/West Springfield scrimmage was a good contest last night. Teams played relatively evenly (I think Oakton won by 1).

Observations: 1) WS QB is good. Good runner who made some nice throws. He will be a factor this year 2) Oakton looked a lot bigger and stronger - seemed to control the lines of scrimmage on both sides of the ball 3) WS seemed to have a lot of guys playing both ways - hopefully, they will stay healthy during the season, and they did not appear to have a lot of depth judging from the number of kids on the sideline; 4) two WS kids got injured - a DB and an RB - hope they are okay, but the RB got carried off the field; 5) Oakton offense could move the ball especially with the running game - but as their WR was playing QB - they were certainly not employing a complicated scheme.

Any news on the Westfield scrimmage?

__________________________________________________________________________

Final was 28-17, Quince Orchard, don't take too much away from that. It was 17-14 Westfield when the starters were pulled. QO pulled their starters as well with the exception of special teams.

Three of the 4 QO TD's were set up by Westfield fumbles inside their own red zone. Scanlon mishandled one snap, the 2nd string QB failed to handle a snap as well, and one of the back ups fumbled a punt late at the 5 yard line.

Strangely enough QO had 2 fumbles recovered by Westfield that neither was ruled a fumble. One might have been down by contact, the oter was a TD pass on a botched FG attempt. Looks like the QO player was stripped before he crossed the goal line, ball recovered by Westfield. The officials ruled a TD so who knows, guess it must have been.

All in all much better performance by Westfield than last week against Dematha. Quince Orchard had some extremely big guys up front on both O & D lines. It was a pretty good scrimmage, defense is definitely Westfield's strength.

Westfield's offense looked better than last week, Scanlon is more of a threat at WR than QB. Westfield put Scanlon at wide out in the 3rd quarter, back up QB Johnson threw a beautiful pass on the money. Scanlon took it to the house, think it was an 80 yard scoring play. Pass probably covered 40 of those yards.

Westfield's two top running backs Pearson and Monticue did not dress again. Third straight scrimmage they have not participated in, one was being discilplined the other nursing a hamstring.

Westfield will definitely need to rely on their D to start the season until the offense can mesh. Would be nice to see the starting running backs actually play!!

I think WS was up 20-14 at after 3 qtrs. looked like they pulled most of their starters after the RB got hurt and played the rest of the way with back ups. Oakton definitely scored on their two's. However Oakton did control the line of scrimmage most of the night. WS in it with a couple big plays. WS have some playmakers but not too strong upfront. Both teams look like they need some work

Here are the initial week 1 predictions for next week. They’re usually off the first couple of weeks as I get a lay of the land. Nevertheless a lot of great matchups.


Thursday - September 3, 2015

Chantilly (-10.0) @ W.T. Woodson
*Woodson is on the rise, look for them to be one of the most improved teams this year. This won’t be the typical 5 touchdown win Chantilly has had against Woodson the past few years. Chantilly has a little more depth and Woodson’s defense still isn’t at a high enough level.

Hayfield (-20.0) @ Edison

Herndon @ Fairfax (-6.5)

West Potomac @ Langley (-8.5)

Westfield (-40.0) @ Washington-Lee


Friday – September 4, 2015

Briar Woods @ South County (-7.0)
*This will be a game worth keeping an eye on as it is the first of many Fairfax-Loudoun showdowns. Briar Woods lost a tough opener to Tuscarora last night and now has another tough matchup this week.

Broad Run (-14.0) @ Wakefield

Centreville (-31.0) @ Annandale

Lake Braddock (-28.0) @ Lee

Madison (-1.0) @ Oakton
*This is the closest on paper this matchup has been in a while. I imagine it will be a good game.

McLean @ Stone Bridge (-28.0)

Robinson @ West Springfield (-6.0)
*This game could really go either way with two above average teams. Another great game to consider Friday night.

South Lakes (-10.0) @ Marshall

Stuart @ Mount Vernon (-7.0)
*The good news is one of these teams will get a win, which they will be few and hard to come by this year.

TC Williams (-35.0) @ Thomas Jefferson

Thanks Mr K2*,

Good predictions for week 1; can't wait to see if the favorites live up to the expectations and ratings.

Not sure about how much rise for Woodson; Chantilly should win by 4 TDs

Briar Woods vs SC should be a very close game; Upset alert for So Co.

If Cville is real deal then they win by 6 TDs.

WS should be able to cover the spread but depends on if their D can stop Rams ground game.

Watching Dematha play on ESPN today. A few thoughts come to mind:

1) are all of those kids in their original grades? How many 19 and 20 year olds are on their team? They don't look like teenagers.

2) How many of their players are paying bupkis to attend the private Catholic school in Hyattsville?

3) How many coaches does Dematha have? I've seen fewer coaches on NFL sidelines? The blue baseball caps and gray "Dematha Football" polos were all over the sideline.

4) I give WF kudos for scrimmaging them; no way should any NOVA public school play them in a real game. It's semipros v. amateurs.

Fairfax lost to Annandale 0-28, their offense didn't score all night....

I remember well how good you were at picking spreads for Fairfax games last year, so thanks for installing the Rebels as favorites.

Fairfax did lose the scrimmage to Annandale 28-0. That was a good test for Fairfax, as it showed what it needs to work on. The game really turned in the second quarter. Annandale was up 14-0, but Fairfax had a nice drive going, that started on the 20. Unfortunately for Fairfax, they fumbled inside the red zone, and turned it over to Annandale. They were able to drive for a score just before half.

Annandale looked good. They are Well-coached. They may be a sleeper team this year. I wouldn't expect them to beat Centreville, but I don't know that I would make Centreville a 31 point favorite in that game.

Relative to the above Dematha questions....they are all good Catholics so age and tuition do not matter to the Pope...

Was nice to see the Majority of the Annandale staff at the Cville Hilton Scrimmage...Annandale could be a respectful 7 & 3

How does Weastfield QB Scanlon compare to previous QB's for the Bulldogs?

Scanlon is a good QB, but he's a much better WR and poses more of a threat at that position.

The back-up QB Johnson is the better of the two, he also runs very well. The only issue with him is whether he has the mental toughness to be the QB.

Westfield, as all successful programs have high expectations, if the QB isn't up to par it can get pretty ugly.

If Scanlon or Johnson can't make it happen, you put Joey Free under center and have him hand off to Pearson...who will be a difference maker and that's what Westfields does...Run the Ball...what other team playing in the State semi-finals would only Target their 6'6" receiver once....

Yes, they are all teenagers but I doubt they are Catholic...
Those Dematha boys are all 3 and 4 star prospects that have good genetics.

I'm sure they are all getting a free education unless their families are wealthy.

It takes a village to raise a child so coach to player ratio is probably about 2 or 3:1 ratio.

You are right about public vs private. This is a team of all stars except the punter looked kind of weak.

If you look at their Birth dates espn top 300/max preps...many are 18 and a few months...our public school kids don't usually start turning 18 until January/February following football..and yes their kicking game is horrendous...

I've heard from some Westfield faithful that Scanlons's family demanded that he play QB this year, not WR. I agree at WR he can do more damage.

Is there any truth to this rumor, or is it a bunch of hooey?

First and foremost, Scanlon is going to college on a Basketball Scholarship..the coaching staff has been doing everything to "give" Johnson the job..it's nice to have a 6'6" weapon on the field regardless of where he plays..no ones demanding anything...Johnson simply is not taking the Job...they both will see action at QB and just like at Quince Orchard, Scanlon will throw Td's and Catch Td's ....until Johnson figures it out!

Hylton got shut out last night for the first time since 2007, 28-0 to Battlefield.

Hylton was 9th ranked in the Wash Post poll.

Dematha has 22 coaches in their team photo. They must have a right guard coach, a left guard coach, etc.
