So, it is arguable to consider Div #4 will be more competitive than Div #1 for 2017???? Let's consider that it may also be better from top to bottom too!

Their Coach can reach out to CalPreps & update the profile info but no changes to these preview rankings until August. I suspect there will be drastic changes. Heck, they had Appomattox #1 in the State against all levels.

Maybe. But in the end, it only matters at the top. As long as District 4 has the regional powerhouses, the 3 - 6 slots don't matter that much and 4 has the to 2, maybe 3 teams in the region.

WTF happened to Oakton? Back when I went there a little more than 10 years ago, they were state champs. Now, they're the chumps of the district and have been fora while. Did all the Redskin players move out to Loudoun? That had been a source of good players for Oakton for a long time.

This past season they lost their QB 1st game of the season due to broken collar bone has to go with a Soph that's not meant to run that style of offense also they relied on a freshman RB who tore his knee up midseason.

They're also a powerhouse in LAX (or at least used to be). Don't know if these kids just didn't cross over to football or what. But most good HS LAX programs have a good football team since a lot of the kids play both.

Not buying that, I know it d Manassas but it's become pretty diverse in the past 10yrs. Besides I would buy it if she was trying to put on a headset and coach herself. Has to be more with him and his method of coaching.

What a joke, the article is written by what appears to be a local parent if it's the person I'm thinking of. Plus, look at Rivals, ESPN, etc. no stars for a kid that's the "best QB in the NR". If he was anywhere close he'd be all over these websites with offers, multiple stars, write-ups etc.. Not an over-exaggerated piece from what appears to be a local recruiting website.

I've watched this kid play, he's an above average athlete, that's it. My fondest memory was when he slid to prevent being pounded by an opposing defender when he was the QB on the freshman team 2 years ago. Also, the 5"11 height he's listed, maybe if he's standing on his toes.

From what I have seen of the young QB the description of "above average" is about right. If you have a very strong team built around him he will be a winner. If he is expected to carry the team on his back perhaps not so much. I think he will do quite well.

Maybe if you are arguing with yourself.Did you see the bottom half of the division, Woodson, WS & FFX HS, they stink!

The top half LB, SoCo & Rob were owned by Div 1 top teams. Road to states on the North still travels through Centreville/Chantilly area.

I don't see LB being as good as they have been in the past. A new coaching staff, unfavorable schedule doesn't help them at all. The 3 or 4 best players graduated and I don't remember many underclassmen that made a difference.

Westfield and Centreville will be the top team in this area. They both have great coaching staffs and return an number of players.

SoCo will right there in the mix, as they always are. Great athletes and the best WO in the state.

Robinson could be a surprise in the area, hopefully the coaches worked in the off season on a passing game. The defense was very good and looks to continue that.

Hayfield and South Lakes will compete but in the end, I still see Westfield and Centreville the top 2.

You don't get trophies for regular season victories. Don't be mad cause the almighty Loudon County 5A team choked for a second consecutive year in the championship game. Say what you want, but when it counts, Simmons and company always have Westfield prepared for big games.

The main loudoun schools are all very good and the best of D5 is as good or better than the best of D6. That being said WF the past two years has really turned it on in weeks 8,9,10 and the playoffs. The Loudoun schools did not have to deal with the WF teams at their best.
With the FFX schools being split up into two different regions this season will be interesting. WF and CVille will probably be the best in their region with SL, Madison, and Battlefield contending.
The other region is more unclear. SOCO will be good, but the Prince William schools have tons of talent. Hylton, Freedom, Woodbridge, and Forest Park have more talent than the FFX schools. LB, ROBO, and WPOT will need to outcoach them to win in the playoffs. Hard to predict who wins those games.

You are cherry picking stats from the regular season - so enjoy your regular season success. Conference 14 is a very tough and very good football conference - possibly the best in Virginia top to bottom. I don't know if it coaching, lack of improvement throughout the season or what BUT Loudoun schools cannot get it done in the playoffs. I would not have bet against Westfield versus any team in Conference 14 in the playoffs. They got healthy and gelled as a team at the right time two years in a row - beating the best QB in the state of Virginia twice.

Meantime Stone Bridge is going for 1st down from their own 33 on a 4th and 8.

Mike Dougherty is the new, steady hand at the helm of Lake Braddock

by Jim McGrath, recruitNoVA

For the past 18 seasons, Coach Mike Dougherty has built his reputation as a coach who rebuilds new and struggling programs. Ironically, Dougherty, who was named the new head coach at Lake Braddock three weeks ago, will be changing his modus operandi, as he takes over a team that finished 11-2 last season.

Starting at Prince Edward in 2000, Dougherty has been a transformer. He left Prince Edward after four seasons to take on a new challenge, as the first coach of an upstart Dominion program in Loudoun County. After five seasons with the Titans, Dougherty moved on to Stonewall Jackson, a program that had not reached the playoffs in almost a decade. Within three years, Dougherty’s 2012 Raider team finished the regular season 9-1 to reach the postseason, and the following season, made the 6A North semifinals.

Seeking another challenge, Dougherty accepted the head position at W.T. Woodson in February of 2014. Woodson had enjoyed some post-season success in the 1980’s and 90’s, but had been reeling through the 2010’s, with a record of 7-23 in the three seasons before Dougherty’s arrival.

The first year was tough, as Woodson finished 2-8. There was a peep of success in 2015, as the Cavaliers raised their record to 4-6. Finally, in 2016, the Cavs finished the regular season at 5-5, and earned a berth to the playoffs, where they lost in the first round to eventual state champion Westfield.

To hear Dougherty speak of W.T. Woodson would give one the impression that he was in an idyllic coaching situation.

“I loved coaching at Woodson. In fact, it is possible that three of our former players will be starting at Virginia Tech this fall. I can’t wait to see them.”

In short, Dougherty was not looking for a job when the vacant Lake Braddock position appeared on the Fairfax County Public Schools website. However, the fact that it became available with the departure of Jim Poythress, intrigued the Cavs’ head whistle.

“This was the first time I wasn’t looking for a job. But when a job like Lake Braddock comes up, you have to be interested. So I applied.”

Buoyed by the improvement shown with his Woodson team, Dougherty’s application drew serious interest, which led to an interview with Lake Braddock officials and eventually, the job.

The Bruins were one of the top teams in Northern Virginia last season, finishing the 2016 campaign with a 9-1 record, and winning two playoff games before being ousted in a surprisingly convincing manner by South Lakes, who toppled Lake Braddock 40-22 on the road.

Lake Braddock will also be missing a number of star players from last year, including two All-Staters – 1,800-yard running back Lamont Atkins and tight end Andrew Park, who both signed with the University of Maryland.

“We graduated nine of our 11 offensive starters, and six of our defensive starters,” said Dougherty, evaluating his team’s needs. “We’re going to have some holes to fill on the line. That group last year was the biggest I had ever seen in high school, averaging about 300 pounds across the offensive line.”

Still, the cupboard is not bare for Dougherty, particularly at a school like Lake Braddock that has enjoyed decades of athletic success in most of its sports.

Asked about players who have stood out so far, Dougherty was quick to name Tyler Metheny, who may fill some of the multi-purpose slots which were vacated with the graduation of Ibrahim Mansaray.

“He’s going to play all over the place.”

Jordan Cobb should be the top defensive back for the Bruins. And Dougherty looks forward to a quarterback competition between Jack Darcy, who split snaps with senior Ty Crabb last season, and Quentin James, a 6-1 rising junior who has been utilized as a cornerback and wide receiver. According to Dougherty, “he (James) did play some quarterback as a freshman, so we’ll have him out there.”

Looking back at his first three weeks, he readily admits that “I have been real impressed so far.”

Dougherty gained another surprise with his move as twelve of his assistants from Woodson will be making the transfer with him, helping to maintain cohesiveness.

But the coach is willing to tweak his system when needed.

“I started out as a double-wing guy. But when I got to Stonewall Jackson, I learned that our players were better when they spread the ball out. And that’s when we started scoring.”

Dougherty is known for his up-tempo offenses, which give defenders scant opportunities for rest. At Woodson, the Cavaliers, led by QB Jojo Heisley, averaged a whopping 77 plays per game.

“Our weapon is our up-tempo (offense). We force our opponents to keep us with us, and the goal is to run 80 plays per game.”

The Bruins and Dougherty will undergo a baptism by fire to start off 2017. Asked about his goal for the upcoming season, the coach was blunt.

“To get through September.”

Indeed, Lake Braddock will open the season against a veritable Murderer’s Row of teams. The August 25 season opener will be on the road against two-time defending 6A champion Westfield. In the second game, the Bruins will host West Potomac (8-4 last year), followed by another home game, against 5A state runner-up Stone Bridge.

In a parting thought, Dougherty summed up his first three games with one telling sentence. “We’ll see what we’re made of really quick.”

Can you say 0-3 Lake Braddock!!! if lucky they win 1 of those games. They still have to play Robinson, SoCo and Oakton. not looking to good for them. 5-5 at best.

HS offenses trying to run all that up tempo stuff, it never works. His goal is to run 80 plays a game? All that that hurry up stuff does it make players make to many mistakes and turn the ball over. The focus becomes on running a number of plays rather then scoring.

The better teams such as Westfield Centreville Robinson, SoCO will shut all that non sense down. I hope he has a back up plan when that happens.

I believe Woodson had a really good team in 2009 season didn't they play for the regional title?

Colonial Forge runs the gauntlet to win the Falls Church 7-on-7

by Jim McGrath, recruitNoVA

By all accounts, Saturday’s Falls Church 7-on-7 Tournament was a rousing success.

In fact, the championship game featured an added treat. Squaring off for the title were the host team, the Jaguars, against Colonial Forge, last year’s 6A state semifinalist.

In a sense, the game featured the older…ahem… more experienced, against the new. Prowling the sidelines for Colonial Forge was coach Bill Brown, with over 250 victories in his back pocket, as well as a pair AAA Division 6 state championships, won with Hylton in 1998 and 1999.

On the other sideline was Jaguar coach Said Aziz, fresh off a 7-4 campaign, while sporting a 30-26 career record in five years overall at Falls Church. Aziz has performed wonders with the team since taking over after a 0-10 season in 2011; however, the age and experience difference between the opposing coaches created quite a wide chasm.

How wide? Speaking on Sunday, Aziz noted that he wasn’t sure how many victories his opponent had, but that he would be happy to secure half as many during his career. And finally, the coup de grace. Speaking to the topic of coaching longevity, he added, “I think that he’s been coaching ever since I was born.” When was that? “1980.”

Further review shows that Brown worked his first job, as coach at Potomac High, for 12 years, finishing after the 1991 season, but starting in the fall of … 1980.

Experience, and eventually talent, helped the visitors, who stormed to a 40-13 victory over Falls Church to win the Passing League.

The day featured each of the 24 teams playing five games, one per hour, and in 30-minute intervals to give maximum usage to the six game fields. In all, almost one-third of the region’s 85 schools were in attendance. After the final 1:30 game, the top eight teams were determined and seeded into an eight-game playoff. At 2 PM, all of the teams were set – Dominion, John Champe, Falls Church, Broad Run, Colonial Forge, Madison, Tuscarora, and Washington-Lee. Falls Church toppled former National District rival W-L in the first round, while Broad Run beat Madison, Forge overcame Dominion, and John Champe defeated Tuscarora.

In round two, Falls Church beat Broad Run, while Colonial Forge beat Tuscarora to set up the final.

Bill Brown - Said Aziz

However, he was more serious when talking of the ability of his conference, which will revert back to its National District roots for the 2017 season.

“We did well,” said Aziz. “We don’t get the recognition we deserve (as a conference), but some of our players can play with anybody. Then look at Chad Lewis. He’s the new coach at Edison, but he has a lot of experience and could have coached at any school he wanted. He chose Edison in order to be near his home.”

The old National District was known for its student diversity, and the current list of Capitol Conference (13) schools includes Edison, Falls Church, Marshall, Wakefield, J.E.B. Stuart, Robert E. Lee (Springfield) and Thomas Jefferson for S&T. The one common theme among the schools is that they are all either inside the Beltway, or less than a half-mile outside the ring which circles the D.C. Metro area.

“Inside of the Beltway, it is much more diverse, and you don’t necessarily have as many football players,” said Aziz. Our school is 50% Hispanic, and many of them tend to be more interested in other sports.”

However, now in its seventh year, the 7-on-7 Tournament has been a great success for Aziz. “Part of the reason it works is that we are centrally located (just inside the Beltway and off Rte. 50), and we have room to do it. We use six fields and most of them have recently been changed to turf.” Laughing, he added, “I also like to think that we get along with most schools.”

Other factors include the success of the previous events, a good social media presence to promote the league, and the promise of a well-run, organized league with good competition, as well as five 30-minute games to get in a fair amount of work.

“Guys can get the kinks out and throw the ball around,” said Aziz.

The camp offered veteran coaches a chance to review their troops, but also gave some new coaches a first good look at some of their players. Among the first year coaches in attendance were Mike Grandizio of Paul VI, Joshua Wild of Park View, and John Scholla of McLean.

Wild, in particular, has been struggling to see his new team. The new Patriot is still finishing this school year at his current position in Virginia’s Northern Neck at Westmoreland County HS.

“We didn’t get to have spring practice, so we’ll meet from June 19-23, and then again on June 26-29, with something that I call the “Red Carpet” on the 29th. That way, we’ll have something to build into August,” said Wild, who had only seen his team three times before Saturday.

As long as Aziz can continue avoiding the final SAT weekend of the school year, and drawing top-notch teams to his fields in West Falls Church, the 7-on-7 Passing League should be a fixture for years to come.

In a parting thought, he summed up the day. “We had a lot of good football players out here today.”

These 7 on 7 tournaments are nice for coaches, players, and fans in regard to stats and skill players but that's about it. Unless you have the players in the trenches to allow your offense to execute, or shut down an opponent on the defensive side, they're not much of an indicator. It's fairly easy to throw passes, under a clock, when you don't have pressure in your face. It's also fairly easy for receivers to go across the middle knowing they don't have to fear getting drilled by an opposing DB or LB. Skill can only take you so far in football, don't get me wrong, it's nice to have, but so are solid O & D lines.

Agree, 7 vs 7 is not much but until VHSL allows Spring Football, with pads, this all that there is.

VHSL SHOULD allow for a limited period of time, spring full contact football.

Great coaching. Their Freshman teams aren't usually very good, since they are just learning the game. Then the coaches "coach 'em up" and adjust for what they have. I heard Aziz talk at a clinic last year, and he views it that he is tied to his players, not a system.

LB really screwed the pooch by letting him go.

Look, Aziz has done a nice job for where he is and what he has to work with, but whomever took the time to write that glowing review about winning a 7 v 7 competition obviously has some skin in the game. Go to vhsl-reference.com and take a look at the program over the past five or six years. They have feasted on the weakest teams in the state. I believe Aziz has three wins over teams with winning records on his resume, and those teams were barely that! They get pasted every single time they face anyone who is remotely decent.

Look at this year's schedule. They will smoke the Sisters of the Poor, and get destroyed by South Lakes. Because of their winning record, they will be awarded a decent seed in the playoffs, and get crushed by the first Loudoun team they see.

Broad Run parent here. The Ram the posted on Robinson making it to the finals against Centreville obviously meant to post that at The Onion.

They rolled over and died in the Varsity game last year. No fight, no size, and what is worse... no talent.

If our QB wasn't already defeating the Varsity and played in the JV game, the Spartans would have won that game going away as well.

.500 team, talent, and coaching.

Actually, coaches are dirty so I put them even lower.

Nolan Cockrill verbally commits to Army
by John Harvey, recruitNoVA

Most high school athletes only dream of playing for a state championship. Nolan Cockrill guided Westfield High to back-to-back Class 6A state crown.

The 6-foot-3, 230 pound junior will hope to carry on that championship pedigree to the college level as he recently verbally committed to an appointment to play football at the United State Military Academy in West Point.

“The opportunity to play at the next level means everything and I’m very grateful that I get the chance to attend such a premiere institution, along with playing the sport that I have loved since I was a kid,” Cockrill said.
The junior was a standout on both sides of the Bulldogs last fall. Offensively he caught a pair of touchdowns against Oscar Smith to lead the Bulldogs to a 34-28 double overtime victory in the state championship game. He was also a factor in the run game as an aggressive run blocker that knows how to set the edge.

Defensively, Cockrill anchored Westfield’s attack. He led the team in sacks and was a disruptive force at the trenches for the Bulldogs. He earned conference, regional and state honors on both sides of the ball.

West Point defensive coordinator Jay Bateman called Cockrill last month to extend the offer.

“He told me they loved my skill set and versatility, along with the toughness and the fact that I’m a strong student,” Cockrill said. “The coaches at West Point see me as a defensive end.”
Cockrill noted that there was plenty of interest in him from colleges. He had offers from Elon University and Kent State and had interest from the University of Virginia and James Madison.

He’s not quite sure what he wants to study in college level.

The junior admits he still has unfinished business left at Westfield, including pursuit of another state crown.

“For my senior year, I hope to see more (action) on the defensive side of the ball,” Cockrill said. “But I will play anywhere I can help the team accomplish our ultimate goal.”

This is the football thread not the baseball thread. Are you kidding me, you're posting this for laughs or to troll, so I'll bite. They stunk last year, relied on a freshman RB who tore his ACL & 5'7" QB with a noodle arm. Good luck, you won't even beat Chantilly let alone Madison, there's no way you get by WHS.

Unless the Rams have found a QB that can hit the broad side of a barn they are not beating CVHS (let's face it, CVHS is a better version of the Rams esp @ QB & coaching staff). CVHS has players that can actually throw and catch.

John Harvey did a Nice Job reporting on Another Student Athlete in the Northern Region that will have an Opportunity to Further his Education and Play Football at the Next Level...For Clarity and Fairness to all Parties..

Quotation Marks around a statement mean the Individual being Reported on provided that Statement.

No Quotation Marks, the reporters Words

The Westfield Defense was Led by All-State Players:
Kevin Petrillo
Aaron Daise
Zach Jewell
Joey Free
Nolan Cockrill (3 rivalry games & play-offs)

Jewell in fact was the Team Leader in Sacks, tie-ing or Breaking School record with 15.5 on year.

Additionally the Defense had key Contributions from; Logan Demoney,Naz Calhoun, Eric Schweiger, Cole Roberson, Hunter Lydic, Taylor Morin, Israel McLean, Sadhiq Hinton, Nick Delvechio, Russ Steinhilber and Ladarian Rivers. A Concerted Team Effort aided by "The Leg" and a Coaching Staff that always had them prepared.

Broad Run parent here. The Ram the posted on Robinson making it to the finals against Centreville obviously meant to post that at The Onion.

They rolled over and died in the Varsity game last year. No fight, no size, and what is worse... no talent.

If our QB wasn't already defeating the Varsity and played in the JV game, the Spartans would have won that game going away as well.

.500 team, talent, and coaching.

Actually, coaches are dirty so I put them even lower.

How exactly are the coaches dirty? I have never heard anyone make accuse them of anything even remotely out of line. In fact, the parents I know from Robinson feel it is the exact opposite, that they try too hard to walk the straight and narrow. What do you know?

Okay, but if you're referring to the original article it wasn't about Westfield, it was about Cockrill. Jewell, Petrillo, Johnson, Delaney, Free, etc. have already had articles about them. It's now onto the upcoming graduating class which there seems to be only one who currently holds any offers. Not to be an ass but when you talk about current Westfield football, with the exception of Cockrill, every other kid in my post is technically no longer part of the program.

Is this the same South Lakes team that was beaten like a drum by Westfield 42-12 in this past seasons 6A Championship?

Before you go there, yes, WF graduated a good number of solid players. But they did so going into last season, and the season before, and before, etc.. That's just in case your reply was going to have something like, "WF lost a lot of talented players, may be a down year".

Totally agree. Robinson gets a lot of hate about how they use cut blocking and their general physicality, but none of it is illegal. They play by the rules. I live in the community and the parents seem to really like the staff as people. They don't always agree with who starts or what plays are called, but I never heard a negative word about their character. They have lots of kids out for the team and the kids seem to happy to be a part of the team. That says a lot to me.

Westfield was in a bit of funk following the highly emotional SoCo game. They did not turn out very well for the TCW, SB and BW games. And vs ROB. This was a stretch of games where they battling some significant injuries leaving them without 4 or 5 key starters for every game.

Combine that with well coached and highly motivated teams looking to knock off the defending state champions and/or get revenge for the previous seasons losses and they just did not get the job done. And SB was a state runner-up so that was a darn good team.

The ROB game was the turning point of the season. After that come-from-behind win they did not have another close game until OS. Actually, I take that back, MAD gave them a good battle.

In sum, they got healthy and kept getting better every game. Their week 15 team would have soundly beaten their week 6 team.

Can't believe no one else is backing up dude's claim about Robinson teaching dirty tactics. Cut blocking is one thing, but cut blocking and diving into an occupied lineman's knees is absolutely ridiculous. THEY do teach it, and have for at least the last three years. This is high school. You don't try and win at all costs. Kids have had their seasons ruined by this bullshit. Ask the coaches who play them every year. They know what is up. You think it is fun to see your kid taking on the center one on one, only to have the guard roll into his knee? Not one of the line coaches would hold up on a lie detector. They used to be good. Now they know that they don't have the talent, so they play dirty.

Oh, and the excuses that rolled in about why Westfield lost to Briar and Stone Bridge? Pretty damn funny. You want the truth? The Westfield coaches are better than the 6A coaches that they have to compete against. Talent is close, and if you look back, you would see that Westfield hasn't produced a whole lot more college kids than some of the other top programs. They struggle with Loudoun because Loudoun has similar athletes and top notch coaches. The staff at Westfield almost always take apart a team when they play them a second time. Look at the stats and you can see. A close game in the regular season will be a blowout more often than not in a rematch in the playoffs. And anyone who watched a lot of high school football last year will tell you that 6A was down throughout the state. That helps explain why Stone Bridge manhandled them. Stone Bridge only lost the state because Thompson called for a draw on his own 30 on 4th and 8 when he was already up by 14... and because they had to play Highland Springs instead of a weaker Oscar Smith team.

Boom.

I don't think anyone would disagree. People have been making the argument here for the last 6 years that Westfield is having their success with fewer next level athletes than many of their competitors.

Uh, maybe. But really, South County is the only regular season-playoff rematch Westfield has had the last two seasons so don't know what stats you are looking at.

I don't really buy it. 6A is down this year has been the mantra every single year. Was 6A "up" in 2015?

That was a huge factor. And kinda detracts from your Loudoun having better coaching. Has anyone choked away more state titles in VHSL history than the SB coach?

Maybe. But I will say this, when Westfield needed a defensive stop to win the game against a D1 VHSL All-time record-holding QB they got it done. SB had an almost identical opportunity to close their game.

i can tell you that what Robinson does has been looked at and found to be legal. What you are discribing is not legal, but that is not what they do. All HS offensive lines mess up blocking schemes from time to time and those things get called. No one is teachinng illegal techniques. They would get caught quickly and the penalties would add up. Robinson doesn't get called for any more high low blocks than anyone else. It's football and that stuff happens at times. The Westfield guys need to toughen up and stop with the name calling. It a bad look for a champion.

Read more carefully. It is the Loudoun County (i.e. Broad Run) folks that were bitching about Robinson - not Westfield. They cried a lot about it after the 2015 game also.

Braddock returns a number of skill players, Cobb, Metheny, James, Hanafi, and Darcy at QB, just to name a few. They should easily be in the mix for the region.

Braddock has won 11-12 games for the last 4 or 5 years, this is easily a 11 or 12 or more win team.

The big question, is this the year they finally break thru and beat Westfield or whoever is in the regional final?

Everyone keeps pointing to LB tough schedule, that is no excuse, play the bestif you want to be the best!

Success at the high school level takes a whole community's commitment. Without great middle school an JV Coaches. A single new guy the can't do it without the a lot of people to also put into their own efforts. If the kids aren't getting involved in high level football before high school, 4000 student high schools won't ever win with any kind of consistency.

Brian Cobbs is the best receiver in the region, hands down. If the Hayfield coaches would get their heads out of their ass he would probably be a top DB as well. He was the best receiver statistically last year and will have to do the same this year for Hayfield to be somewhat successful. Ricky Slade is a very close second but by far the best RB.

How did Colgan perform with their JV & Freshman teams last year? They could be an interesting team in 2017.

I in know way think that South Lakes is the best team. I just don't think they have too many games on their schedule that they could lose. If they run the table they will be the 1 seed if the others have a loss. That's what I'm predicting. I'd say they are the 5th best team in the region.

South Lakes was the big winner in redistricting. Their new district includes Herndon, Langley, McLean, Washington-Lee, and Yorktown. That's five guaranteed wins.

Who is going to beat Braddock, they have a great team coming back.
5 starters on O and 7 on D coming back. This may be the strongest team they have had in recent years.

They have one of the best coaching staffs (former WT Woodson staff) in the state now coaching at Braddock.

With that being said, look for them to run the table and represent the north.

Like a previous poster said, "another coach who got taken to the woodshed by WHS"
If he was such a great coach, how come he couldn't do anything against WHS starters? That game could've been 100-0 if starters stayed in the whole game. Every year we hear,"this is LB's year, best team they've ever assembled" get outta hear with that bs. You lost a stud RB, TE, multiple O-linemen. You're left with a noodle arm QB (he's nowhere near Caleb Henderson) WR's that are nothing special. 6-4, 7-3 at best.

You have a point, those are quite the cream puffs on their schedule, those teams would lose to SOCO, LB, CVHS JV squads

You don't need a stud in every position. Darcy is a very good QB, Quinten, Jordan, Methany and Josef are as good or better then any receiver combos in the region. BTW, was Westfield QB anywhere near as good as Henderson? NO!! They won the state championship. This LB team is loaded, so say what you want and we will see you in December.

What a stupid thing to say - LB, under Doc, will run a one dimensional offense - if the QB is off or the weather sucks then they will be in trouble.

Westfield runs a balanced offense, if the pass isn't working then they will just run for 400 yards and vice versa.

Their closest competition should be either WL or Yorktown. Those Arlington schools always punch above their weight when it comes to football. Both should be terrible, but their coaching keeps them competitive.

They can't get past the bulldogs. It might be psychological, but they just can't seem to do it since Gonzaga dismantled them on national TV 3 years ago. It's like Haddock got the wind knocked out of him and has never recovered for the really big games.

Doc of Lake Braddock, the best coach in the region? I looked him up he doesn't even have a winning record. How does he qualify as the best coach in the region?

If he has the same staff he had at Woodson, they never beat a team with a winning record. They were blown out by all of the top 5-7 teams... I mean absolutely destroyed. How does that qualify as the best staff in the region?

Just saying...Westfield, Centreville, South County, West Potomac, Hayfield and Robinson all have better head coaches and staff.

These are the returning wildcats less transfers and last year's freshman. Trying to remember who their transfers were for this year. Looks like a solid group of kids to build around. They will be tough team as usual.

I see only 2 lineman at or close to 300. The one who's 300 is 5'10 which means he's just fat, the other who goes 290 is soft. The only one touting Centreville is the biased coach who is on staff. It's obviously hard for him to face the reality that Centreville will be a decent team but to crown them the favorite is absurd. Since Haddock's Dream Team vanished after the 2014 season his program has returned to where it was before, mediocrity.

Until proven otherwise, Centreville has a QB problem. Too short and scrawny.

How can you say that West Pot, Hayfield, and Robinson have better head coaches and staffs than Doc? What have those guys done besides have better players?
LB is loaded with skill talent. I think they lose to Westfield and then run the table. No way they lose to one run only teams like Stone a ridge and Robinson.

Stone Bridge will beat Braddock, Robinson, West Pot, South County and Oakton will as well.

Doc and his staff doesn't have enough experience in winning games. So any games that are close will most likely go to the opponent who have experienced coaching staffs who know how to win. I just don't see them being better then 5-5 4-6.

Welcome to the big leagues Doc!!

I saw Woodson out at Westfield, they actually looked pretty good. A good QB and a couple of fast receivers with good hands. It looks like the new coach has rallied them and getting things on track.

I think the players realized that coach Doc and the staff was only looking for the next best thing and jumped ship as soon as they could.

Copy & Paste from Washington Post Article. Re: VHSL 2017 Football schedule.

Start the countdown clock: There are only 60 days (two months!) until Virginia high school football season kicks off. That’s 166 days until championship Saturday.

The Virginia High School League released complete schedules for every team across the state on Monday. We’ve been tearing through them looking for the best matchups, buying gasoline for the lawn mower, sharpening our pencils, polishing our camera lenses, debating which schools have the best press boxes.
In other words, we can’t wait for football.

Here are the games we’ve already circled on our calendar. Until then, we’ll be busy X-ing off days in June, July and August.

Aug. 25: Marshall vs. Madison

Madison’s season is already charged with emotion after the tragic death of Coach Lenny Schultz on Saturday. This season opener will be about more than football. The Statesmen squeaked into the 5A playoffs in 2016.

Sept. 1: West Potomac vs. Lake Braddock

Is this finally the year for the Wolverines? West Potomac has lost to Lake Braddock 24-21 in each of the past two seasons. The Wolverines are out to prove they’re over the hump and ready to be considered one of Fairfax County’s top teams.

Sept. 8: Mount Vernon vs. Falls Church

We love this matchup, because who needs defense? The Majors’ quick-strike offense should be in full swing behind quarterback Timmy Heltzel and all-around playmaker Darrien Newton. The Jaguars are ready to keep feeding Dakwandre Marshall, pound for pound maybe the region’s hardest runner.

Sept. 22: Hayfield vs. South County

This game totaled 96 points in 2016, and will once again feature the state’s two top receivers: the Stallions’ Dillon Spalding and the Hawks’ Brian Cobbs. Combined in the 2016 edition of this game, they went for 15 catches, 276 yards and four touchdowns. Bring extra popcorn.

Sept. 22: South Lakes vs. Centreville

The past season made one thing very clear: South Lakes is for real, and the Seahawks return maybe the state’s top rushing duo in Albert Mensah and Spencer Alston. In the middle of a cushy schedule, they face Centreville, which allowed on average just 10.1 points per game last year.

Oct. 13: Hylton vs. Freedom-Woodbridge

By now you’ve heard the name Ricky Slade and all the fits he causes defenses. The Penn State commit ran for 172 yards and two scores against Freedom last year. Hylton still lost. In 2017, can the Bulldogs ride Ricky to a win?

Oct. 20: Tuscarora vs. Stone Bridge

Wait, are you talking about a late-October game between two teams who want to smash the ball at the line of scrimmage? Yeah, this will be fun. Bring a blanket and some hot chocolate and prepare to holler about every holding call.

Oct. 27: Broad Run vs. Briar Woods

Three words: Late. Season. Rivalry. The so-called “Battle of the Burn” has the potential to significantly shift playoff seeding up and down the Virginia 5A, because the Spartans and Falcons have six opponents in common.

Oct. 27: Westfield vs. West Potomac

Will somebody please give West Potomac a break? Nine of their 10 upcoming opponents were 2016 playoff teams. Three of them were 6A North region semifinalists. Here, the Wolverines get two-time defending state champion Westfield on the Bulldogs’ home turf.

Any predictions for wins and losses? I can't say that I've seen their schedule. I think redistricting didn't do them any favors. Some of their easier opponent's we're dropped from their district, like Mt Vernon, Annandale, an tcw, but they kept the tougher teams from their old district. They picked up Robo and Fairfax, but those were already on their schedule

Looking at the schedule they could easily be 6-4 7-3 losses to South County, South Lakes, West Potomac. With incentive to beat LB to show Coach DOC the grass isn't always greener, is a real possibility.

You obviously didn't look at the schedule too closely. Lake Braddock will beat them and so will Robinson. That puts them at 4 losses for sure. They don't play West Pot. They will have toss up games against Langley, Annandale, Yorktown, and West Springfield. If they win all of those they are 6-4. More likely they win some and lose some and end up 4-6 and out of the playoffs.

I looked at the Woodson schedule, I agree, I think 6-4 is about right. They will beat Lee, Fairfax Langley, Annandale, Yorktown, and West Springfield. Lose to South County and South Lakes. Robinson LB could be toss up games.

I think Woodson may be a little better then what people think.
I don't think LB and Robinson will be as good as they have been in the past.

Robinson is 1 dimensional if you stop the run you can beat them.
LB new coaching staff with no track record of winning. I think they will struggle all season

Don't think Mt Vernon is a pushover anymore. If you look at their schedule. 8-2 is probably what will happen. Could be more if their defense improves. New coach seems to have changed a lot. This is their 1st offseason with the coach and I saw them at a 7v7 and they have tons of athletes. They will be interesting to watch this year.

They may make the playoffs, but they've got a long way to go to be a contender. A slightly above average CVille team beat them by 50+ in the playoffs.

Hayfield and West Potomac will be better than them in their District. Could be tough to make the playoffs finishing 3rd in your district.

Obviously, this would change with a different time period but it is what it is.

Top 15 most dominant Virginia high school football programs since 2006
Oscar Smith leads the way in the commonwealth. See which other Virginia squads are in the conversation of most dominant.

Thursday, June 29, 2017
By: Staff Report | MaxPreps.com

Video: Deangelo White is a true inspiration
See a moving touchdown scored by an Oscar Smith player in honor of his father.

Consistency is key to Oscar Smith earning the title of Virginia's most dominant football program since MaxPreps became America's source for high school sports.

The Tigers have a significant number of title game appearances and state titles (four and two, respectively) but that number doesn't lead the way in the state, as other programs have had more finals appearances. What wins the title for Oscar Smith is reaching the Top 25 in the computer rankings every year since 2006.

How important is that? No. 2 Phoebus has five state titles and still trails Oscar Smith.

Larger schools dominate the list. Still, a Class 3 power reached the No. 15 spot in Brookville thanks to two titles and another runner-up finish.

Here is how the points break down:

1. 20 for a state title

2. 10 for a state championship game appearance

3. Other points are based on where a team finished in the final MaxPreps Virginia Football Computer Rankings presented by the Army National Guard. For example, if a team finished No. 1 overall, it would receive 25 points. If it finished 25th overall, the team would get one point. No points are awarded if the team did not finish in the Top 25.

Interesting that the article states it was written by the staff, curious as to who actually wrote it. I'm certain whomever it was is based in the Beach area. MaxPreps obvious infatuation for the programs down there are blatantly obvious.

Hayfield, West Potomac should vie for Gunston District title, but watch for sleepers
by Jim McGrath, recruitNoVA

The Gunston District will be another of the five-team groupings in Northern Virginia. Yet, a cursory look at the teams, based on last year’s records, shows a potential dead heat between Hayfield and West Potomac, with either Mount Vernon or T.C. Williams nipping at their heels.

Both the Hawks and Wolverines finished last season with a 9-3 record. Hayfield boasts U. Maryland commit Brian Cobbs (6-3, 200) at wide receiver. Cobbs caught 74 balls for over 1,100 yards last year. He will be joined by J.J Pailin, who hauled in 35 passes.

But who will throw the ball to them? The loss to graduation of Jacob Keeney (3,565 yds., 34 TD in 2016) at quarterback will be almost impossible to replace, but Coach Eric Henderson is working fervently to groom an adequate replacement.

West Potomac did not lose a game by more than seven points last year, and that was the season-ending 21-14 loss to James Madison in the second round of the playoffs. Daiimon Cleveland and his 1,100 yards will return to his tailback position. On paper, the Wolverines don’t have a player over 210 pounds listed on their MaxPreps roster, so they may rely on speed and technique in the early games. Coach Jeremiah Ross may have had the best reply to a reporter’s question last season. When asked about his upcoming game strategy against a team that had beaten them a year before, Ross matter-of-factly replied, “Not lose again.”

Mount Vernon (5-5) could play the spoiler this season. The playoffs eluded Monty Fritts’ Major team in 2016, but they return QB Tim Heitzel (2,223 yards, 24 TD last season) for his senior year, as well as small, but agile tailback Darrien Newton (515 rushing yards in 2016).

T.C Williams (5-6) did make the post-season, but they lost the opener 26-0 to West Potomac, a team they almost beat, falling just 22-21 in midseason. The Titans suffered from a bit of inconsistency last year, but count on Coach James Longerbeam to restore more pride (meaning wins) on King Street. Hopefully, this year’s version of “T.C.” will be a solid day game team as the Titans’ home, Parker-Gray Stadium, does not host night games due to neighbor complaints in the past.

Annandale (3-7) lost its final four games to spiral away from a .500 season, and also graduated many key seniors, including running back Jalen Jackson.

GAMES TO WATCH:

Sept. 22: South County @ Hayfield
If the Stallions and Hawks find suitable replacements for Jack McDaniel and Jacob Keeney, this outcome could resemble a basketball score. A matchup of Northern Virginia’s best two receivers in Cobbs (Hayfield) and Dillon Spalding of South County. A key early season matchup between two neighboring schools.

Oct. 20: West Potomac @ Hayfield
Eighth game of the season for both teams, and this one could decide the Gunston District title if West Potomac can survive it’s opening three games against Briar Woods, Lake Braddock and James Madison. Coach Ross, asked about his goal for 2017, replied, “Survive September.” If the Wolverines do that, Hayfield will have its hands full.

Oct. 27: T.C. Williams @ Mt. Vernon
In case you missed the movie, T.C. Williams remains the only public high school in the City of Alexandria. Mt. Vernon is ten miles down Rte. 1 and in Alexandria (Fairfax County). In spite of the distance, the two have developed a rivalry that dates back to the early 1980’s when each athletic program accused the other of poaching its players. There’s a good chance that either, or both teams, could enter this contest at 5-3 or even 6-2. If Mt. Vernon wins, it could make the regular season finale against West Potomac on November 3rd much more meaningful.

South Lakes looks to be the class of the Liberty District
by Jim McGrath, recruitNoVA

This year, he revamped Liberty District has a clear-cut favorite in South Lakes. Coming off a 12-2 record, the Seahawks made it all the way to the 6A North final last season, with only Westfield blocking their entrance to the state championship at Hampton University. In 2017, they are the only returning team in the Liberty that finished over .500 last year.

It is highly doubtful that this scenario will replay itself in 2017. Any team entering the October 6th district opener with a winning record should maintain it through the five Liberty games, which run consecutively to end the regular season.

Washington-Lee (5-6) and Yorktown (4-6) stand the best chance of clinching a winning record and a spot in the 6A North playoffs. The Patriots may have the advantage, as last year’s mark was an aberration by Coach Bruce Hanson’s standards; in fact, it was only his third losing campaign in 32 seasons. W&L lost the linchpin in their aerial circus last year with the graduation of quarterback Ricardo Mestre, and the Generals will need to replace several other key offensive players.

Langley (2-8), Herndon (1-9) and McLean (1-9) struggled last year, and only McLean might start as a favorite in their opener, when they travel to Fairfax, a 0-10 team last year, on August 25.

Games to Watch:

August 25 – South Lakes @ W. T. Woodson: Already head and shoulders above their district counterparts, the Seahawks will probably face their stiffest opponents in the out-of-district lineup, which comprises the first five games.

There is no guarantee that Woodson will push South Lakes to its limits. The Cavaliers were 5-6 last season, and then lost their coach Mike Dougherty to Lake Braddock. However, his replacement, Jared Van Acker, led Battlefield to a 16-7 mark in 2015 and 2016, and his WTW troops have been busy in the offseason.

September 22 – Centreville @ South Lakes: A mid-season tangle against the Wildcats may prove to be the South Lakes’ toughest regular season game. But this year’s Seahawks remain loaded. Devin Miles returns to the quarterback position, and brings his dynamic senior running back duo of Albert Mensah (1,294 yards, 25 TD in 2016) and Spencer Alston (1,004 yards, 20 TD). Mensah, even at 5-8 and 205, is also a force at defensive end.

November 3 – Washington & Lee @Yorktown: Regardless of the team records, this final week matchup pits two Arlington rivals in a game that may guarantee a playoff spot for one of the teams.

Yorktown’s Hanson, seen at the Falls Church 7-on-7 Passing League, named four players to keep an eye on. They are, Ryan Wool (WR), Adam Luncher (CB/K), Paul Dalzell (6-2, 185, WR/TE), and Davis Patterson (6-3, 180, 4.55 in the 40, a WR with Division I potential, according to the coach).

Washington-Lee will miss Mestre behind center, and may need to run the ball more. The progression of Tanner Wall, or a new QB, could dictate the offensive scheme. If they run more, they will rely on senior Larry Carpenter and junior Jabari Johnson. However, the Generals will need to shore up a defense that gave up over 31 points per game last year.

Can Westfield repeat as 6A Champions? Concorde District play may tell the story

by Jim McGrath, recruitNoVA

With the upcoming realignment among football teams in the VHSL, old rivalries will be restored, and others will be renewed. Some districts are going ten teams deep, while a few, including the Concorde, Gunston and Western in Northern Virginia, will only carry a quintet of squads.

recruitNoVA.com embarks on its “Games to Watch” from among the 12 districts (almost 13, if one counts the overstuffed Northwestern with its baker’s dozen, including six teams from our readership zone.) Of course, there are also the eight private schools, strewn among three conferences (IAC, MAC, VISAA-I).

We start with the renewed and revamped Concorde District. Five 6A North teams will vie for the district crown, as well as a top-16 ranking in the pool of 27 teams which is needed to earn a first-round playoff berth.

Westfield (13-2, 6A state champions), under coach Kyle Simmons, is the top dog and will remain so until they are knocked out of contention. The Bulldogs lost two of their first six games last year, before running off with nine straight victories and a second consecutive state championship.

James Madison (11-2 in 2016) hosted Westfield in a 6A North semifinal game, but lost 31-13 to end their season. The Warhawks have suffered losses on and off the field. First, the family of star running back Landan Thomas relocated to Northern Florida for business purposes. More recently, and much more tragically, their coach, Lenny Schultz, was killed last weekend, struck by an oncoming vehicle while stranded in the median of the Capital Beltway in Springfield reattaching a boat to his pickup truck. Schultz’s son Albert IV, 24, was also critically injured.

Centreville (9-3) had their playoff run silenced with a narrow 22-20 loss to South Lakes in Round 2. The Wildcats, with Chris Haddock at the helm, will be looking for a boost to push them to the district title.

Chantilly (4-6) replaced coach Mike Lalli with Sean Curry and hopes to reverse its playoff fortunes in 2017. Oakton (4-7) made the round of 16, but were blasted by South Lakes 54-14 in the opening playoff game.

GAMES TO WATCH:

Aug. 25 – Westfield @ Lake Braddock: A tough opener on the road for the Bulldogs. Lake Braddock finished 11-2 last season before a surprising 40-22 loss to South Lakes at home in the 6A North semis. Jim Poythress has left the Bruins, replaced by veteran coach Mike Dougherty, who was last seen with W.T. Woodson for the past three seasons. Lake Braddock lost 1,800 yard tailback Lamont Atkins (U. Maryland), Ibrahim Mansaray, and a host of key role players, but returns Jack Darcy, who rotated with Ty Crabb at QB in 2016, and Tyler Metheny at wide receiver. Ben Dizon should see more carries this season, while Josh Ahern (6-3, 215, Jr.) will anchor the linebacking corps on defense.

Oct. 6 – James Madison @ Westfield: The Bulldogs were 4-2 after six games last year and almost fell off the rails. It led to a meeting of the minds between Simmons and RecruitNoVA.com Player of the Year, quarterback Rehman Johnson. After the 34-28 state title win over Oscar Smith, Johnson said, “Coach (Simmons) gave me the confidence (after Game 6) to run our plays and the trust for me to throw the ball. He realized our talent and potential and opened up the playbook.”

The Bulldogs never lost again. Ironically, Madison will be their seventh opponent of 2017.

But Johnson is gone, as well as a host of other Westfield standouts such as receivers Ivory Frimpong an Sean Eckert. Noah Kim is slight of build (6-2, 160) at quarterback, but he is only a sophomore and has been busy progressing rapidly on the camp circuit this year, as well as with a dozen signal calling colleagues at the Fairfax Football Academy. Matt Cirillo (5-10, 215, Sr.) had some key carries in the title game as a fullback, while Taylor Morin is hoping to develop into a formidable target at receiver. The defense is solid.

Madison counters with its own stalwart defense, led by middle linebacker Nate Leas (6-0, 205). However, it will be the team’s ability to recover from the loss of Coach Schultz which will dictate their fate this season. By Game 7, this could be a watershed contest for the Warhawks.

Nov. 3 – James Madison @ Centreville: If Westfield falters in 2017, this final regular season game could have district championship implications.

For Madison to win, they will need to reconstruct their offense, which lost graduating QB Jacob Choutka after last season. The Warhawks have three upperclassmen listed for the position on their roster (Patrick Berry, Raul Jurado and John Cothran), but Cothran, a senior, is the only one to throw a pass (just one) last season.

Centreville graduated Jameel Siler, but looks to junior Presley Egbers to lead the offense. Egbers (6-0, 170) only threw a handful of passes during the regular season, but was thrust into action for the South Lakes playoff game, as Siler’s receiving ability put him at the slot, in an attempt to confuse the Seahawks. Egbers completed four of seven balls for 114 yards, and a 75-yard TD to Matt Brown. He has also been busy on the camp circuit and should be ready to go.

Deonte Edmonds looks to be the top returner (eight yards per carry) at running back as a junior. And Bassie Kanu (5-10, 170) is a beast at cornerback, and one who carries a chip on his shoulder entering senior season.

I know EVERYONE on FFU dislikes or even hates Oscar Smith Football & lumps them in with Ocean Lakes for being cheaters BUT, no one seems to understand that some of their kids grew up in truly adverse environments! The Beach kids mostly live in middle class, 2 parent homes and have choices that just aren't available to South Norfolk kids.

Below is a true, honest depiction of a success story of how teachers, counselors and coaches can make a real difference in someone's life. From the hood to a real chance to get out, that's all those kids are looking for. Just realize the urban areas in most every school have kids with the same challenges.

Michael Wyche has been from the bottom to the top. His story is an inspiration.

By Andy Hilton, recruit757

A lot of football fans will see a lineman, who had a few bumps along the way. Fans will see a kid who had trouble in school, played for a power house in Oscar Smith, ended up in JUCO, but finished his college career on top of his game at the University of Miami.

On the surface, it looks like a story where Michael Wyche had to fight hard for success. It’s so much more than that.

Michael Wyche was born of a chance encounter between his mother and his father. They didn’t know each other until one night, when Michael’s dad was running from the police, he ran into an apartment to hide. He not only escaped arrest, but he also met Michael’s mother.

“They were in Harvard Apartments in South Norfolk. I have no idea what he was being chased for. He eventually got arrested and got a 40-year prison sentence. He went to jail in 1996, when I was two-years old. My mother got her tubes tied after having three children. She wasn’t supposed to have me. I’m the baby. All of my siblings are in their late 30’s (Cynthia, Melanie, and Gilberto),” said Wyche. “I was unexpected. My parents were never a couple. They were just good friends.”

Michael’s father, James Walker Jr., was not told that he would have a child.

Dorothy “Eve” Wyche, kept it a secret.

“He was 16 going on 17 at the time and she was 34 years old. He lied to her about his age,” Wyche said. “He was in prison by 21. He met me when I was one-year-old. He saw my mother’s mother in the store and she told him he had a son. My mother never told him because my father was crazy. He was a gangster. He lied to my mom and told her that he was older than he really was.”

Michael was off to a tough start. His parents were never together. His mother lived in South Norfolk, in poverty, with other kids to raise.

My momma was struggling. I didn’t want to leave her (when I got older) because I didn’t want to see her end up dead one day. There was fighting in the house. We ended up getting put out of our house and ended up living in a shelter in Portsmouth (Virginia). Most of my family wouldn’t let me stay with them. They said I was a bad kid. They didn’t want me around,” admitted Michael.

Poverty, homelessness, domestic violence… it’s a bad recipe for raising children. Michael Wyche grew up knowing the streets and knowing very little about the traditional education that could get him out of his situation.

Wyche started getting into trouble at the age of 11. He was sent to the Challenge Academy at Camp Pendleton. That involves a military approach to discipline and learning. He was introduced back into public school, going to Oscar Smith Middle, but was expelled and had to go to a SECEP school (Southeastern Cooperative Educational Programs). That’s typically for learning disabled and behaviorally challenged students. There, his life took a turn for the better.

“I found my mentor. Alexander Cheeseboro got a hold of me at SECEP.”

Cheeseboro is a 6-5 350 pound hulk of a man who played college football himself. He called on Michael to consider his actions. He wanted Michael to care for himself and those around him.

“In the streets of South Norfolk, (the gangs) told us you’re going to either sell drugs or play sports. Most of the guys my age had our mind made up. We were going to sell drugs, then go to jail or die,” Wyche said.

It takes a village to raise a child. Between Cheeseboro and teacher Donna Notti at Oscar Smith, Wyche was able to make a right turn.

“She really cared about me. She was my resource teacher. I didn’t like school at all. I barely even paid attention in school. As a matter of fact, I used to go to school and sell drugs. I just stopped. She saved my life. I wanted to play football.”

“(Oscar Smith Football) Coach Morgan built a brotherhood and I wanted to be a part of that. Coach Morgan knew what type of person I was. He told me that I couldn’t be part of the brotherhood unless I stopped what I was doing. He said ‘You either want to go rob a bank, or you want to go to college. I can help you do either one’.”

That was in his tenth grade year. Michael had been diagnosed with a personality disorder. He was assigned to Special Education. He was dealing with depression. It took a lot of academic work for him to graduate from high school.

“Miss Notti taught me how to read because my reading level was borderline illiterate when I got to Oscar Smith. My grandma would try to get me to read, but I was in the street so much (as a kid) that I didn’t care about reading. I didn’t care about school. She would call on me to read in class and I would act crazy just to get kicked out of class. I knew I couldn’t read.”

“Miss Notti was crying to me in the hall. I’ve never seen any teacher cry about me. She told me how she had my back. She told me I didn’t have to worry about anything. I had never heard that before. I thought it was me against the world.”

“I was tutored by Miss Notti in high school and she continued to tutor me in college. I talked to her every single day. She’d send me words of the day to help my vocabulary. Nobody would see me with dreads and tattoos and expect me to know these big words.”

Still, he had learning disabilities and had to go to junior college just to continue playing football after high school. He didn’t qualify otherwise.

“I want everybody to know that (I struggled) because I want the kids to know. I’m not ashamed, because I went to college,” Wyche said. “At Junior College in California, I had maybe $100 a month. My grandparents sent me money. I didn’t know that you had to pay to eat; that you had to pay for an apartment. I ended up selling drugs again. I realized that it’s wrong. I gained nothing from that. I’m a leader. I promised my momma before she died that I won’t do that anymore.”

Wyche was at East L.A. College when his mother passed away in 2013. That was another turning point for him.

“After her funeral, I had to get on a plane because I had a game the next day. I really didn’t have time to reflect on (her death). It took me into a depression. I had suicidal thoughts. I never really worked through it.”

Wyche went through the recruiting process once again coming out of Junior College. He was getting the college work done, and he had to decide where he would finish playing college football.

“In college, I always had my work done because of Miss Notti. I always felt more comfortable with her than with the tutors in college.”

Wyche landed in Miami, but had never dealt with his mother’s death. He was mad. He was depressed.

“I took a job working in a restaurant. That was like taking a lion out of the jungle,” he said. “All these years, I had been playing football. I didn’t know how to work at a restaurant. It was owned by Ray Allen.”

Allen, then a star for the NBA’s Miami Heat, was winding down his professional basketball career. Even pro athletes who make millions want to have something to invest their time and money into when they finish playing sports. He retired from the NBA in 2014.

“He’s just a good person. He was there for me. I don’t know why. The first day I met him, I was working for him and he told me to take a ride with him. We got in his Rolls Royce Phantom. I had never been in a Rolls Royce before. We went down south (Homestead, FL) to this Range Rover dealership to pick up his car. He had me drive his car back. The whole way down there he was giving me knowledge about life and things like that.”

“Ray and I had a chance to talk. I told him everything that was going on and he sat there and listen to me like an uncle or a big brother. He told me that I could change anything, but I have to be the one to do it. He told me that he hoped my story wouldn’t end where I was.”

At the time, Wyche was playing football, but he was still depressed. He 395 pounds. He admits he was out of shape.

“I started working out with Ray. He had to make me run, but we had to have fun. I was 400 pounds! We ended up playing basketball. It was the first thing I learned to play growing up. We played pick-up games, and in all the games we played, I never saw him miss a shot. He would always pick me on his team. We would go over to his house, cook on the grill, talk outside on the beach. Though he had never seen me play, he told me he loved me like a brother. That meant a lot to me.”

Wyche finished his playing career at the University of Miami in Florida with ten credits left to go. He will earn a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology once he finishes that work. In the meantime, he’s trying to realize his NFL dream.

Wyche has gotten a chance to mini-camp with the Green Bay Packers. If a job offer doesn’t come from the Pack, there are several other teams showing interest. Mike is leaving that in the hands of his agent.

“When I left the field at Green Bay, I gave Coach McCarthy a hug and told him thank you for the opportunity. I told him he don’t know me, and he doesn’t what he’s done for me. He asked me to explain and I told him what’s good doesn’t have to be explained. Just know that you gave a diamond in the rough the opportunity of a lifetime. That’s big in my city.”

He’s also pursuing a career in motivational speaking. Michael feels as though his story needs to be told.

“My story will take you high and take you low. It will pick you back up. I know what it feels like to live in the hood with no lights on. The water just got cut off. When the water man left, we would go back out there and turn the water back on. I’ve been in those situations. I’ve been in the situation where you don’t have any food and don’t know what you’ll eat that day. I’ve been there when Christmas comes around and there are no gifts. My mom was selling drugs and selling everything out of the house just to get high. I’ve seen people get shot. I’ve seen someone with their head blown completely off their body. I’ve seen that. I learned how to cook drugs at 11 years old. I’ve also learned how to fight through adversity.”

“I’ve gotten back on my feet to keep going. When you fall on your back, if you can look up, you can get up.”

Shows you how well the article was researched. They probably didn't know that Robinson has moved into this district. Robinson will probably be the 2nd or 3rd best team in the district. SOCO has the most talent. Robinson and Lake Braddock are probably even. Then there's a huge drop off. Robinson may have the best coaching staff in the district. That may help them win one they probably shouldn't.

Braddock has the most talent in this conference, although they lost Atkins, they return just about all of the skill players including the QB.

New coaching staff that is the best in the state, this wont be the same old Braddock teams from the past. This team will put up a ton of points and will be the best defensive team in the state

They are a slam dunk for the conference title, north region title and state title.

Coach Doc says this is the most talented team he has ever seen, so be ready

Hopefully, they worked on passing game to compliment their run game, otherwise I don't see them being any better then last year

What I see that wasn't expected, that Robinson is right in the middle of the top teams of the Northern Region. The question will be IF they will be right there again in 2017.

Every other team seems to be what most people would expect. The perennial powers have well developed programs. They win championships when they have the talent to push them to that next level.

VA deserves some national recognition type games & getting a Stone Bridge vs Westfield or Highland Springs vs Oscar Smith game to start the season off each year could do that. I would love to set a poll up to see the results.

A couple of points here.

I have seen Robinson play a few times, and I believe what they teach is a cut block, not a chop block. A chop block involves a double team, with one guy standing the defender up, and the other taking his legs out. A cut is one guy taking the defender out at the waist. It's done from an angle, and is tough to work through. Oh, and cut blocking is still legal, as long as it happens at the LOS. So there is nothing dirty about what Robinson teaches.

For VA to start getting more national recognition, the schools need to start playing more out of state, big time competition. Many of the "big time" high school teams travel for games against elite teams. A top team playing an in-state team will not draw any national interest, at least not if they are VA teams. HS football here is just not considered great on a national level.

For one of the county's largest schools... Robinson is a SEVERE underachiever in football and most boys sports. Outside of their LAX programs, that school is mediocre in about everything. Their school has more or less 600 more students that say... Oakton YET the Rams still couldn't beat them last season. The Rams should have no issues but their backwards offensive philosophy combined with the softest and most whiny pretentious athletes (seriously) in the County are a reason why they haven't and will NOT be relevant in the area for many years to come. "Ram Pride" my ass go back to GLax state titles and preseason hype... the only things Robo does well!

As a Robinson parent, I have to agree with Robo underachievers. Especially when it comes to football. Hell, sports in general. The school really does not care about sports, or winning. They have a good lacrosse program because of the local feeder systems. Nothing the school does. They appear to have a very good wrestling coach, but that is just luck. Their basketball programs are run by the most inept coaches they could possibly find. Not sure how either of those guys still have a job.

As to football, my kid plays football, and I can tell you, without doubt, they are not trained to play dirty. If you think they are "roiding", you obviously have never seen kids, or programs, that actually do the stuff. One of the reason our team was so bad this past year was we were very weak and small. My in-laws came in from Georgia for a game, and thought our Varsity was the JV. When we played LB, it looked like a high school team against a youth club. So not only are they not on some kind of steroid program, they're not really on much of a weight program.

The coaches philosophy would work if he had some bigger linemen, or a QB who could pass and force the defense to cover the entire field. I know they are anticipating throwing the ball much more this fall, since they believe the new QB has a far superior arm to the last guy. We'll have to see on that.

Their may be a lot of issues with Robo and their sports program, but the FB coach being dirty is certainly not one of them. The guys is so clean it's infuriating.

I have been happy with the Robo coaching staff. They know to keep it in perspective. Too many parents out there thinking their kid is he next OBJ or Cam Newton. Get a grip folks, this is HS football. Enjoy your 4 years kids and make sure you get good grades, since it's a low probability that you're leaving here for a D1 ride, much less anything beyond that. The Robo staff stresses good grades first, which is going to carry these kids a lot further, than how many touchdowns they score.

I really can't believe what what I am reading here. Robinson probably has more more combined state sports titles than any high school in Fairfax County (I would think Lake Braddock and Oakton probably close behind). They may not be so great in the big 3 (football, basketball, baseball) but they are always competitive. Every school can't have the very best coach in every sport.

I haven't seen Robinson play too much lately, but when someone claims the kids are small, weak, and soft, the coaches probably aren't the problem. Also, hasn't Robinson been above average the last few years. I'm a Westfield fan and they've played us as tough as anyone and I remember them beating centreville and stone Bridge recently. If they don't have elite talent, but are still competing with the State title contenders I'd say the coaches are doing well.

How is LB picked 3rd in the conference, we have 5 returning starters on offense and 5 returning starters on defense, including the starting QB, coming back. A very good JV and freshmen team last as well.

This on a team that went 11-2 and with a deep playoff run. We beat South County and beat Robinson twice last year. Why are they picked ahead of us?

I also understand that we have put together the best coaching staff in the state, lead by coach Doc.

So what gives with this 3rd place finish?

You want to know why you're ranked 3rd? Do you really want to know? Let me begin. For starters you just lost every single offensive lineman that played a snap last year. Every single one.... You return a QB who SPLIT reps. He essentially only has 6 games under his belt. You bring back a couple slot kids who got time but you don't return a starting running back. Not a single one.

On defense you just lost most of your front 7 and half your secondary. Say what you want about the previous Lake Braddock coach (in my opinion one of the best based on his record and history in the state) but they were consistent on defense regardless of who was playing for them.

Then you bring a coach who was I believe 10-20 (we won't include his playoff losses ((2)) and his playoff wins ((0)) and try to sell the idea that he's the best coach in the state. His best years at stonewall were when he rode the talent of a couple kids who all went to Virginia Tech and played.

And lastly you just LOST one of the best staffs in the state. Whoever picks up braddock's leftovers is getting a steal. It will be an average year for the Bruins filled with glorious tweets from this "Doc" guy. The fans will burn down the castle and a new king will be crowned. Burke does not settle for mediocrity

Who needs a running back, coach Doc runs a wide open fast paced spread.

The QB will throw 40-50 passes a game and can also be the running back.

He did well at Woodson, had them in the playoffs last year.
Imagine what he will do with the talent LB has.

He brought his entire staff, so everyone is on the same page.

I see nothing but big things from LB this year

LB does not have the best staff in the state, hell, ROBO, SOCO, CVILLE, WF, & a few others are far superior to the new staff. One question, how did that spread work for LB in the post season in years past? Not very well, they moved to a more run heavy offense the past couple years because when they got to the post season and played strong defenses they were shut down. Look at their losses to WF, all WF did was blitz on every down, something they rarely do, and take away LB's passing attack. Bottom line, the spread is great for regular season but name one team in the past 5-6 years from NOVA who won a state title with the spread offense.......

The spread offense works great if you are in an area that allows a ton of practice. Many states now allow actual spring practice, and most spread schools spend the spring and summer running 7 on 7. Not the short 7 on 7 season they do around here, but as soon as the spring semester starts, 7 on 7 practice starts, and runs through the summer. Additionally, states down south end their spring sports season before school is out, so that spring football gets at least two weeks with everyone in school, and not competing with other sports. All of this extra time gives the QB and receivers time to develop better timing, and the coaches time to put in much more complex passing games. With the time VA schools have, and the little time devoted to 7 on 7 in NOVA, teams cannot develop the complexity required for a true HS spread offense. Which is why the only time you will see a spread work around here is when you have a QB who can through all over the field, sideline to sideline at least 30+ yards.

I saw the LB QB during 7 on 7, and he will be a good HS QB, but not a game changer.

Are you related to Doc or something? Of course you need a running back! Just ask Westfield...

Go ahead and throw the ball 40-50 times a game. You are doing the region a massive favor. You also didn't dispute anything else I said. You don't have a lot of solid players and will have to accept that at some point.

You are trying to speak this narrative into existence. Just because you say it louder doesn't mean it's true. If you truly care about Doc you will set the bar low for him and save him his job. He cannot live up to the standards of winning. Make exacuses for him and blame the kids or lack of talent for a couple years then move on to another school.

Doc and his staff are on the same page you say? Is that page 1 or page 2 of the playbook that they're all stuck on, because that's what the Woodson offense looked like. Couple screens here and there maybe run inside zone for a gain of -2 then get the punt squad ready.

Bold prediction for LB this year, their punter will be all state from gaining a lot of net yards and getting lots of practice

Hylton has the star power in Ricky Slade. Freedom is the team with the best returning record in the Cardinal District.

by Jim McGrath, recruitNoVA

Ricky Slade.

To follow the Cardinal District in 2017 this season is to know that the Hylton running back, bound for Penn State next year, will be the focal point of the district.

And why not? The 5’10, 185-pounder entered last season as the top-rated Class of 2018 running back nationwide in some recruiting service circles. His junior season didn’t disappoint, with over 1,790 yards on the ground, 338 receiving yards on 25 catches, and 23 TD’s by land and air.

Slade committed to the Nittany Lions in February. If he was still unknown to some fans, his talents went viral last week. At “The Opening” camp, Slade accentuated his juke and miss move on a defender during the “Make ‘Em Miss” drill with a back flip that found its way on to social media, including a Penn State sports site. In fact, it was the first of two flips he would do that day, as Slade was widely seen as the offensive MVP of the camp.

And he still has a senior year to play.

In fairness, there will be plenty more to see in the Cardinal this year. Actually, Slade’s Hylton team (6-5) doesn’t even boast the best returning team record. That accolade would belong to Freedom (8-3).

If Slade is the #1 running back of the present for Prince William County, then Freedom’s Tyquan Brown is the #1-A back of the present, and shining light for the future. Brown gained 1,649 yards with 12 touchdowns last year, as a sophomore with about the same size (5-9, 185) as his better-known counterpart. Expect Brown to be headlining here and in many other outlets this fall. The Eagles could help their collective cause with an enhanced passing game.

Four of the seven teams return with losing records, including Forest Park and Potomac (4-6), Woodbridge (3-7) and Gar-Field (1-9). A fifth team, Colgan, is beginning its first year as a varsity squad, but starts the season with an 8-1 jayvee record against a full district schedule from last year and DeMatha transfer Justin Kapp behind center.

GAMES TO WATCH:

Sept. 15: Colonial Forge @ Hylton: A good barometer game for Coach Tony Lilly’s Bulldogs. Colonial Forge (11-3 in 2016) advanced all the way to the 6A South finals where they dropped a 27-20 heartbreaker in overtime to Oscar Smith. Forge returns 6-4, 240 lb. tight end/defensive end extraordinaire Mitch Shinskie and wide receiver Zack Kindel, and has the added distinction of ending Hylton’s season last year with a 23-0 playoff win.

Sept. 29: Freedom @ Hylton: The top two Cardinal District contenders meet in an early district matchup. More importantly, it will showcase Freedom’s Brown against Hylton’s Slade. First runner to 200 yards wins? The winner of this game may have the inside track to the district title in the final five weeks. Get a ticket now, as both of these guys will be playing on Saturday’s soon.

Nov. 3: Woodbridge @ Gar-Field: As is usually the case with rival games, you can throw the teams’ records out the window. Gar-Field has to play its first three games on the road, but the plus side is that five of their six Cardinal District games, including this regular season finale, will be at home. The Indians, under new coach Tony Keiling, have their numbers back up and should be able to locate more talent as their mission to reverse last year’s 1-9 mishap season molds into reality. Old time rival game, and that’s a good enough reason to go.

Colgan treansfer!!!!

"Colgan, is beginning its first year as a varsity squad, but starts the season with an 8-1 jayvee record against a full district schedule from last year and DeMatha transfer Justin Kapp behind center."

So, who here is bold enough to think Colgan will challenge for a playoff spot in 2017? Are they taking any talent away from adjacent schools?

The Madison hire is an interim hire. They will go get someone new after the season. Really there were no other options there.

Horrible situation. Would love to see those kids have a great season.

Two players don't make a team, football is a team sport. If you don't have an O-line that can open holes, those two RB's aren't going to mean a thing. Also, if you don't have a passing game, opponents will just stack the box to shut down the running game. Last but not least, if you don't have defense or special teams, having 2 quality RB's won't get you many W's. My only question is, didn't both of those RB's play for SL's last year? If the answer is yes then why didn't they get to states last year?

Centreville - Chris Haddock
Centreville Counts on Defense to Clinch Concorde Crown
by Jim McGrath, recruitNoVA

Team: Centreville (Clifton, VA)
Classification/District – 6A/Concorde
2016 Record – 9-3 (lost to South Lakes 22-20 in second round of 6A North playoffs)
Head Coach – Chris Haddock
Mascot – Wildcats

The Wildcats pulled off one huge win last year, an 8-7 squeaker over Lake Braddock, and came within a whisper of meeting the Bruins for a second time, in the 6A North semifinals. However, South Lakes pulled off a 22-20 win in the game’s final minutes to end Centreville’s season.

As expected, the Wildcat defense provided stiff opposition to the Seahawks last November. And for Centreville to catapult over the heap of teams which includes South Lakes, Madison, Lake Braddock and 6A state champion Westfield, it will be the defense with which Coach Chris Haddock pins his hopes.

Last year, the Wildcat defenders gave up 13.1 points a game, the third best mark in 6A. This year, the bar will be set higher.

“(The defense is) very strong,” said Haddock. “I expect they will give up an average of less than a touchdown a game.”

If the defense can hold the opposition to under ten points a game, the offense will be able to survive its probable growing pains. Jameel Siler graduated after last year, and Presley Egbers will take over as quarterback for Centreville. Egbers (5-10, 180), just a junior, has shined in various camps this spring and summer and shows FCS potential as a college player, according to Haddock. He will be joined in the backfield by senior running backs Daequan Williams-Person and Bassie Kanu. The trio will be blessed with a large offensive line in front of them.

“The offensive line should be one of the best in a decade,” said Haddock. It is headed by Jackson Schule (6-7, 310), Thomas Bryant (6-3, 270) and Brock Assel (6-3, 260), all Division I prospects. As long as the line holds up, the Wildcats should find success running, easing the pressure from Egbers to move the ball through the passing game.

Junior linebackers Tre’ Maxwell (6-2, 190) and Lamar Horner (6-1, 200) will shore up the middle of the defense for Haddock, while Kanu (5-11, 190) and Jordan Wright (5-10, 185) should fend off plenty of passes from their defensive back positions.

Others to watch: Charlie Salette (6-2, 190, RB/LB, Sr.), Gavin Thomas (5-10, 305, DL, Jr.), Gabe Brooks (6-3, 240, DL, Sr.), Nick Kuzemka (6-0, 185, LB, Jr.), Jordan Besson (5-10, 180, DB, Jr.).

I stumbled upon the Quarterback transfer into Colgan. BUT, are there any others that would be considered significant? I know that there have been in VaBeach. As usual, Chris Scott (now at Bishop Sullivan) has successfully pulled in some middle school kids that would have attended somewhere else s ninth graders. Along with some top talent in the Beach transferring, Bishop Sullivan could be considered the TOP HS Football team in all of VA. (Not my opinion)

South Lakes Returns Veteran Team and Enters 2017 as a 6A North Favorite
by Jim McGrath, recruitNoVA

Team: South Lakes (Reston, VA)
Classification/District – 6A/Liberty
2016 Record – 12-2 (lost to Westfield 42-12 in 6A North final)
Head Coach – Trey Taylor
Mascot – Seahawks

After thrashing Lake Braddock 40-22 in a 6A North semifinal last year, Trey Taylor’s Seahawks marched on to the gridiron at Westfield ready to silence the Bulldogs.
However, their aspirations fell short, as their successful season ended with an awkward thud, in the form of a 42-12 loss to the eventual state champion, in the 6A North final.

A repeat of the 30-point loss is unlikely. The Seahawks lost 320-lb. star lineman David Kroll (U. Delaware) to graduation, but return almost all of their skill players, as the prohibitive Liberty District favorite should also return to the 6A North region title game.

In short, South Lakes is loaded. Senior Devin Miles (5-10, 175) will return at quarterback. Miles was workmanlike last season, and for good reason. His primary focus was to hand off to arguably the state’s best tandem of running backs, Spencer Alston (5-11, 195) and Albert Mensah (5-10, 205).

The bad news for the rest of the state is that Alston, Mensah, and their 2,500 + yards and 47 combined rushing touchdowns from 2016 will be back for their senior season, and lined up behind Miles.

“We return almost all of the group on offense, with many of them being three year starters,” said Coach Trey Taylor. “We will be lighter up front, but we will have a group that has played in all types of games and situations. That experience will be our strength.”

Center Jacob McCarty (5-9, 245) and tackle Eric Walter (6-0, 260) look to be the anchors of the offensive line, which should do an efficient job opening holes for the backs. Taylor does add a new wrinkle to his offense this year with the addition of sophomore wide receiver Michael Riche (5-8, 170).

“Riche is the fastest player on the team,” said Taylor. “He will bring some more speed to our vertical passing game and perimeter game, which should take some of the stress off Mensah and Alston.”

Mensah also returns to his defensive end position, where he earned all-conference honors in 2016. He will be joined by other two-way players, such as McCarty (DT) and Noah Seneca (6-0, 185, TE/DE). Senior Eddie Mohler (5-8, 180) returns to his cornerback position, while Kojo Kumi returns to the secondary. Kumi had a key interception in the Lake Braddock playoff game which thwarted a Bruin drive and helped to seal the Seahawks’ win.

Sophomore free safety Joseph Dagbe (5-8, 155) will be one new defender thrown into the spotlight. Dagbe replaces Andrew Funaki, the Seahawks big play specialist on both sides of the ball.

“Joseph is athletic and smart, and will need every bit of that to fill Andrew’s shoes,” said Taylor.

Overall, the coach’s plan is simple. “Our goal is to go undefeated each week. That is it.” If the Seahawks can come together as a team and perform to the best of their ability, another 12 win season and deep playoff run should be in the cards.

Others to watch:
Chris Logan (6-1, 210, T/LB, Sr.), Spencer Coppage (6-1, 200, G/DT, Sr.), Tim Brown (5-10, 225, G, Jr.), Dave Hagengimana (6-1, 180, WR, Sr.), Diego White (5-9, 170, CB, Jr.), Sage Beuchert-Irvine (6-2, 195, LB, Jr.), Chris Ezidinma (6-0, 160, R, Sr.).

- Jim McGrath

Will Seahawks face any challenge in the Liberty District this season? Can they get over the hump in the postseason?

This McGrath guy is a homer, it seems every team he's written about has no flaws and is going to have an incredible season. C'mon man, the article states the Seahawks will be lighter up front, so how does that make for a successful season for the 2 star RB's. If you can't open holes it doesn't matter how good your RB's are, they're not going anywhere. Also the same for their passing attack, they may have the fastest receiver in 6A North, if the QB doesn't get time to throw then it's all for naught. My question is how can they be a 6A North favorite when they were so soundly beaten in the finals last year and they got smaller up front on the O-line? Also if I remember correctly their defense wasn't that spectacular, I don't know, I could be wrong.

Don't Sweat McGraf, he is writhing from the Respective Teams Coach's perspective. That is Haddocks take or Turners take on their Team! One would expect A Coach to tout his Club. SL will do just fine in the Liberty and get Soundly Pounded in the Play-offs by a more formidable Foe. Remember that was about to be a 42-0 Beat Down last year and could have been a 72-0 drubbing had WF not pulled the majority of their Starters 3rd qtr!

This is LB's year!
They will finally handle Westfield and bring the state title back to Burke.

They return:

James, Dizon, Cobb, Metheny Hanifi - skills
Hurley, Haedt, Rudicill, Mclean Altman - o-line
Darcy - QB
New coaching staff- I am hearing is the best in the state

Summary:

With so many returning players and the new coaching staff, how can they lose.
I think most of the coaches in the region agree that LB is the team to beat this year.

Coach Doc is ready to make a statement and it will be loud and clear!!!!

I agree its Braddock's time
VHSL ranking has LB at number 2 behind Westfield, that will change on August 25th.

With the new staff now in place, the program will be much better then in the past.

Good luck to all the other teams!

In the north this year it will be South Lakes, Centreville, and South County fighting it out with Lake Braddock and Westfield right behind them. Mark it down.

Sorry, you're wrong. The bulldogs will be good for two more years. But the freshmen are in camp this week and peeee-yewwww. I watched some of the walk throughs and it wasn't looking good. Simmons might be able to work some miracles with these guy, but that's what it's going to take. 2020 and beyond is NOT looking good for Bulldog football based on what I saw.

It will be Lake Braddock and Westfield for the championship in the north.

This year Lake Braddock wins!!

They have a lot coming back on offense and defense. Darcy, Matheny, Cobb ,James on O. Hanifi, Obrien Ahearn, McLean on D.

New coaching staff (everyone is saying its the best in the state!)

With that new staff in place, look for LB to dominate this year.

Exciting time to be a Bruin!

As an Oakton fan, I have to ask - how many of South Lakes' studs are from the Fox Mill community which used to be districted for Oakton? Would some of those kids be going to Oakton if it were say, 2008?

Sad to see a school with 2700 students, competitive in so many sports, have a mediocre football team year after year. The demographics just are not there.

Okay here is my analysis for the future of Westfield football. We are all aware of the changing demographics in the Concorde district or whatever it's called now, but I doubt that it will change more than it already has. Additionally, Westfield has got to be the most under populated school in the area. Its definetly the biggest 4 year high school in the county, perhaps even the state. It's supposed to hold well over 3000 kids but the current enrollment is around 2500. With South Lakes, Chantilly, Oakton, and Centreville, all of which are neighboring schools, experiencing overcrowding, don't be surprised to see a few of those neighborhoods get redirected into Westfield. So although the demographics won't be what they used to be, I do envision a spike in enrollment one way or another soon enough. Although until that does happen, I wouldn't be surprised to see Westfield have slightly mediciocre seasons by their standards.

A big addition to bring South Lakes to 3,000 students is already in the works. So no redistricting there. Oakton will also be renovated and expanded in the next couple of years.

https://www.restonnow.com/2015/10/07/on-the-docket-south-lakes-high-schools-expansion-plans/

The expansion will bring the schools capacity to 2500, which is what the school already has. What the expansion will do is probably get rid of or reduce the amount of trailers as the school is essentially at 2500 right now. You may be right about Oakton but I haven't heard anything about that. I know for a fact that Centreville and Chantilly are overcrowded and there isn't much that can be done about it.

Hylton seems to have some talent, wins a lot of games , but their poor defense sends them home early during the playoffs. If they can't stop Robinson's run game, they will have a hard time.

Where do you get that the building at Westfield is supposed to house over 3000 kids? South County is the exact same building blueprint and was overcrowded with less than 3000 when it was a secondary school. It's pretty full now and has an enrollment of around 2100

Westfield had an addition built in 2006 that increased the size from the original structure. They had over 3200 kids in attendance at one point.

Been watching the Gameday Media Live.

Highlights so far:

Stone Bridge
Coach Thompson says this is the best team he has ever had at Stone Bridge. They fully expect to go undefeated and win the state championship at 15-0. Apparently they have recruited well - he mentioned a number of transfers. Was bursting with enthusiasm. Oh, said he couldn't think of a single thing he would change about how they played Highland Springs. Running up the middle from his own 30 on a 4th and 8 was a good coaching call.

Centreville
Coach Haddock says this is the best offseason Centreville has ever had with regard to participation and preparation. Is very excited about the season. Says this team is right up there with the 2013/2014 super-star team. Was clearing room for trophies during his talk.

Westfield
Coach Simmons really downplayed any expectations mostly crying about all the seniors they lost. Lots of new coaches. Dissed his new QB by mentioning several times how scrawny he is and has no experience. Set the bar low.

Up tempo offense
Experienced defense
New coaching staff

All the right pieces in the right places to make a big run!

We are putting the region teams on notice, if you bad mouth coach Doc, you will pay the price when we play you.

Right out the gate we will show everyone what Bruin Football is all about

High school athletes and transferring becomes a hotter topic every year

by Andy Hilton, recruit757

recruit757 will not take a formal stance on transferring.

There are plenty of times where an athlete decides to transfer from one high school to another. Sometimes, the parents move. Sometimes, the parents drive the decision. In other cases, the student-athlete begs to move and it’s not always for good reason.

I’m not here to offer a judgment on any teenager’s situation. That’s not what we’re about.

I will throw this out there, and it originated from a professional contact of mine, Cory Bailey at Coastal Carolina. Cory is the recruiting coordinator and defensive line coach for the Chanticleers, a program that just moved into the Sun Belt and moved up to Division I FBS. Before his tenure at Coastal Carolina, Coach Bailey was the head coach at Assumption College.

Cory tweeted on May 8 about transfer students and it has gotten a lot of attention.

Random Rant..Transferring to get recruited based on the school you're at = crazy. Dominate where you are… we will find you! Show loyalty.

— Cory Bailey (@CoachCoryBailey) May 8, 2017

In six weeks, it’s gotten about 2,000 likes and over 1,000 retweets. Maybe most of the likes have come from high school coaches who have lost transferring players. I know that I liked the tweet when I first saw it.

Oddly enough, Coastal Carolina just received a verbal commitment about a week ago from a local player who’s transferring for the second time in his high school career. The commit is heading to Bishop Sullivan after playing for two years at Portsmouth Christian, and for a season at Greenbrier Christian prior to that. Coastal Carolina found him, recruited him, and got a commitment from him before he has played a down of football for his newest team.

But again, this isn’t about a specific player.

I can guarantee you this. If you’re talented, I will find you. If you’re talented, college coaches will find you. Part of my job is helping college coaches connect to you and to your high school coach. While some high school football programs are better than others and some high school coaches are more skilled at different aspects of football, there is practically always a place for a high school varsity starter to play college football.

There’s something to be said for making the commitment to stay in the same high school football program for your entire high school career. It demonstrates character and commitment. It shows a college coach that you can stick to your decisions. It also allows you to experience high school and high school sports with the friends that you grow up with.

I will state this very clearly. As much as I love high school football, it is still an after-school, extra-curricular activity. Winning a state championship will not complete your life, nor will it make you a better person. If you think that winning a title in high school is going to make you a legend, think again. Most people can’t tell you who won a high school championship two years ago, let alone five, ten or twenty years ago.

Playing college football is less like an extra-curricular activity and more like a job. High school is a time to enjoy playing football. By the time you reach college, you better be playing because you love it, or you may not play for much longer.

With all that being said, there are good reasons to transfer.

Players may sometimes want to play for a different coach, or for a person they see as a more talented coach. They may want to play against better competition. In that case, you certainly want to make sure that there’s room for you in the new program you are headed to. There’s only one ball and there are only 11 spots on the field at a time. You better be good enough to beat out the other guys who are already in the program and competing for the playing time that you think you’re going to get.

As with any big decisions in life, there are pros and there are cons. Transferring works out for a lot of kids, but it’s not without risks. Take a good long look at the potential impact of your decision before you decide to make a move. Parents should be involved as more than a rubber stamp of approval. Look at all of the implications before you leap.

The grass is always greener where?

Not on the other side.

The grass is always greener where you water it.

– Andy Hilton

That would only be available by subscription. Last year Gameday did put out a video that included a few short clips from every coach - I wouldn't expect anything other than that.

Stone Bridge has never beaten LB and they wont this year either.

LB has more overall talent this year then they have had on any team in the past.
They may not have that super star this year, but the skill players are all very good and they have depth. The O line isn't as experienced, but has size and strength. they will get better every game.

The defense will be no doubt the best in the region, they return 7-8 starters from last year. Look for a lot of shut outs from this D, this year

New coaching staff, new philosophy.....I am hearing a lot of people say this staff is the best in the state.

Westfield, Stone Bridge, West Potomac, be aware, LB is coming for you.

The usernames "BigMurph" and "KMurph" is Krista Murphy, the Director of Football Operations for coach Doc, being with him at SJHS as well as WTW, and now Lake Braddock.If you been to any of the games in the past she's the bigger lady with the lesbian haircut- her job is to hand out uniform numbers and make play cards, in addition to managing the sideline during games.

These past several posts have been very humble Krista, we all know it's you lmao.

Scrimmage, Aug 18th Western Branch and St. John’s (DC) at South County. SoCo went to Chesapeake, VA & kicked the Bruins #$? last year. I expect more of the same even though they play the Southeastern District teams pretty well every year, Western Branch really struggles against the fast paced spread offense that SoCo plays.

More interesting should be St. John's vs SoCo.

Braddock can boast all they want. They are in trouble this season. Heck looking at their schedule there is a good chance they start the season 0-6.

Colgan Begins 6A Play with High Hopes

by Jim McGrath, recruitNoVA

Team: Charles Colgan (Manassas, VA)
Classification/District– 6A/Cardinal
2016 Record – 0-0 (Varsity play begins this year; JV was 8-1 in 2016)
Head Coach – Steve Baudendistel
Mascot – Sharks

It’s an exciting time to be a Shark – a Colgan Shark, that is.

The Prince William school begins varsity play in football on August 26, with an away game at Forest Park. With the upgrade in competition, games will be tougher for Colgan, but there are plenty of reasons for optimism.

First, the football team is not the first at the new school to field a varsity team. In fact, Colgan has found relative success in other sports, especially boys track which featured two 6A state champions and top-ten finishes for indoor and outdoor track. Second, many of the players were part of last year’s JV squad which finished with an impressive 8-1 record while playing a schedule loaded with 6A opponents.

Coach Steve Baudendistel knows where his team’s strengths lie. “We have a lot of talent at the offensive skill positions,” said Baudendistel. Many of the skill players lack weight, but bring an asset to the field.

Junior Justin Kapp is penciled in at quarterback. Kapp (6-1, 170) started his high school career at powerhouse DeMatha High in Maryland, before transferring to the new school, which is within a mile of his home. Kapp led the JV team last year, and brings talents as a pocket passer and runner to the Shark attack.

Behind him will be speedster Justin Bell. Bell (5-8, 160) is “a threat to score each time he touches the ball,” according to Baudendistel. Colgan also boasts a quartet of capable wideouts, with senior Kaeleb Carter likely to be a favorite target with his 6-4 frame and leaping ability from doubling as a basketball player.

Liam Smith (6-1, 235) is he senior leader of the O-line, but a lot of runs will also go behind sophomore George Neiser, who is already big and powerful at 6-3 and 295 pounds.

Baudendistel likes the versatility and athleticism of his linebacking corps which consists of Clayton Bellamy (5-11, 180, Sr.), John Cook (6-0, 180, Jr.) and Anthony Vilatoro (5-9, 175, Jr.). Huey Bodger (5-10, 215, Jr.) will lead the defensive line. Chase Lundy is the featured defensive back, a unit that is young and largely untested with a sophomore and freshman among the starters.

Baudendistel hopes that the collective mental toughness of the Sharks will go a long way. “Even though this is our first “real” season, we need to rise up to the challenge of playing a full varsity schedule and prepare each week with the confidence of a veteran football program. In a district returning only two winning teams (Freedom, Hylton), a good mental attitude could help these Sharks swim to the middle of the Cardinal District standings – no small feat for a first-year squad.

Others to watch: Darrian Brokenburr (6-3, 215, OL, Jr.), John Neiser (6-0, 200, OL, Soph.), Adam Ripper (5-10, 175, OL, Soph.), Blake Edwards (5-9, 160, WR, Jr.), Josh Mumphrey (5-10, 160, WR, Sr.), Peter Medawar (5-8, 145, WR, Jr.), Romeo Bowen (6-3, 225, DL, Jr.), Cesar Rodriguez (5-7, 215, DL, Jr.), Bazeleel Frimpong (6-0, 230, DL, Jr.), Mike Gerhart (5-10, 155, DB, Soph.), Sam Bowen (6-0, 190, DB, Fr.), Hakeem Sanusi (5-7, 140, DB, Jr.), Trevor Ridley (LB), Andrew Brown (DL), Jordan Bradford (OL), Kam McMillan (DB), Odin Brock (RB).

So? Looking at the schedules from the last several years, they've played one competitive game in three seasons. It's not like they're barely missing out.

LB, Robinson, and Chantilly all have a higher enrollment than Westfield and jrs been like this for a while. However people will still continue to discredit Westfield's success because they apparently have "the most kids". It's not 2007 anymore people! If Westfield still had those kind of numbers (3300 I believe) then I doubt this would be a competition at all.

Anyone at the Robinson/Battlefield scrimmage last night? I was told Robinson best them up pretty good and I was shocked to hear that. That came from a Robinson parent so I'm skeptical. Battlefield is usually very good and I believe they got their old coach back that won the state title. Anyone know the truth?

Wow, what a difference between Northern VA schools and the rest of the State for 6A! With Landstown being #20 in size at 2400 students, most of the 6A South schools tend to be 1800 - 2000 students. Yet, over the last decade, there is an even split between 6A North vs South teams.

It sounds like 6A North is more wide open compared to other years, but until Westfield is knocked out, with Lake Braddock, SouthCo, Centreville, South Lakes all chasing them.

In 6A South, it'll be the same teams as favorites (except Ocean Lakes), with Smith, Colonial Forge, Thomas Dale, Grassfield, and Cox likely making deep runs in the playoffs. Manchester in Richmond is supposed to be very good in 2017 but teams without a lot of playoff experience don't do so well against the very top tier teams. But, if they win against Riverbend, L.C Bird, Monacan, and Hermitage, they'll still have to beat Thomas Dale and/or Colonial Forge just to get a chance to play Oscar Smith or the team that beats them. Sorry to say this but the competition in 6A South might be tougher in 2017.

No surprise there. Prince William County football sucks. I wish the schedules would have kept more of the Loudoun County teams playing Fairfax County.

DeMatha-Westfield scrimmage this afternoon. DeMatha was too much for Westfield as usual. Although Westfield did do better defensively than I would have thought. Held DeMatha off the scoreboard the first couple of possessions. Westfield highlights included a big hit/pass breakup by #3 (Hinton) and a nice interception of Lenhart by #12 (Steinhilber). DeMatha's speed when they got into open space proved deadly and they scored on a number of long TD runs and a pass.

Westfield offense struggled to gain any yardage. Running game was completely stifled and passing game was successful pretty much only on a short passing game. New QB #10 (Kim) showed a surprisingly strong arm and his ball had lot of velocity when needed. Timing with WRs was off a lot and when the ball was there the catches were not made. Exceptions were a a couple of nice gainers to #97 (Cockrill) and and a long (40-50? yd) TD pass to #2 (Morin). Morin showed some nice hands on a number of catches and impressed as much as on the Westfield squad.

Conclusion? Yes, Westfield lost a lot and looked a bit raw. But it was DeMatha. I have a feeling they aren't going to give up the 6A North title easily. But a veteran team - like South Lakes - might be what it takes to knock them off.

For those of you who say Westfield won't be as good just because they lost a few players, I hope you do realize that Westfield literally loses their best player every year. 2 years ago they lost Evan Grey and James Gibson and won it all. Last year they lost Scanlon and Aiello who were the VHSL Offensive and Defensive player of the year I believe, but managed to win it all yet again without them. And both teams that win it all had many injuries! Jack Clancy was out for most of the 2015 season and LaDarion Rivers was out for most of the 2016 season. Nobody seems to realize how deep Westfield really is every year. Coming in to the last few seasons everyone said that Westfields talent was "down", and as soon as a group of guys graduates everyone starts acting like they are a once in a lifetime group that can't be replaced. Yeah Westfield lost talent but so did every other team in the North. Yes I know South Lakes has a good senior class but they graduated 3 really good seniors that played 6 positions for them. And Westfield at their best last year was light years ahead of any other team in the 6A North. I'm not saying that they are gonna win it all this year but until they are defeated in the PLAYOFFS, they should remain the favorites. Watch out for a few new players you've never heard of before.

Westfield will still be very strong. Call me crazy, but replacing the kicker/punter will be the most difficult. That guy regularly made their opponents have to go 80 yds to score and basically eliminated the threat of a return. In close games, that makes a huge difference. They may have a good kicker and punter to replace him, but it's highly unlikely that they are as good this season in those areas and it will have a negative impact of their defense as well.

I have to agree. They have a good system, they get athletes onto the field that may not want to play football, they have a good off season program and once they are on the field they get the most out of them. That is the definition of good high school coaching. It is also why the LB homers need to stop talking and wait for on field results. The new coaching staff has a lot to prove because they did not really prove anything at Woodson. They appeared to win the games that they should but never showed the ability to win against the elite teams in the northern region.

STFU about Braddock and their coaching staff.

They are NOT the best in the state, NOT the best in the region, NOT the best in

the District.

I will wager $100 that Stone Bridge (NOT the best coaching staff in the state)

beats them by double digits in Week Three.

They will also probably lose to Westfield to open the season. Better hope they

don't drop the game against West Potomac or Coach Doc and Company will open 0 - 3.

While I really have come to hate the sycophants and morons on this site that just spew Westfield this and Westfield that, I have certainly come to respect their coaching staff for their ability to prepare for the playoffs and make a run in states. My question is this: Let's be honest - every team tries as hard as they can to win every regular season game. Don't give me any BS that they don't. Well, how can we explain the three or four complete shitting of themselves that happened to last year's 6A State Champions. Only an unbelievable finish prevented them from losing to a truly average Robinson team, they defeated a below average and undisciplined group from TC by 7, actually lost to a battered and beaten and blow chunks Briar Woods team, and were boat raced by Stone Bridge. Can anyone explain the clunkers? And this seems to happen every year? What gives? And try to give an honest assessment and not just tell me that they don't prepare for regular season games and only carer about the playoffs. That is just not true.

Although this shouldn't be an excuse, Westfield had many injuries last season, far more than they normally do. They were up by 21 points versus TC and although they only won by 7 the victor was never in doubt. As for the other 3 games, Westfield had identity issues. They tried to run the ball like they had done in previous years but they just didn't have the talent or the experience that their previous running backs (Thrasher Walker & Grey) had. Once they realized that their strength was their passing game, I believed that this realization occurred following the Robinson game. The following week they destroyed Centreville, who were ranked number one in the state coming into the game 35-0. At this point it became clear that the teams strength on offense was the passing game as Rehman Johnson had great chemistry with Ivory Frimpong and Sean Eckert, all three of these guys are playing college ball I believe. They had O-Line issues throughout the season as well. Joey Free and Kevin Petrillo, both player who are VHSL All State returned late in the regular season to solidify their defense. Another reason for the early season struggles was the number of sophomores who lacked not talent but experience. I believe 4-5 got significant play time on defense. Despite losing a lineman and a star defender (Rivers) once the team became healthy and got on the same page they were essentially unstoppable. The Madison game was closest challenge they had in the second half of the season and that was a 3 score game as well and at one point it loooked as if they would run away from OS in the state championship. Yeah Westfield doesn't try to lose on purpose in the regular season but in the earlier parts of the season they experiment quite a bit compared to other teams in order to discover their strengths and weaknesses.

It is the dixie cup parties that sustain Westfield. Admin and parents in on it. Let the kids be drunks and cheaters and look like a good program is being run even though it is not. Just like the old Miami U days of old over there - lots of stuff swept under the carpets, teaching them to be wanna be gangstas. And before you a-holes go off, no I am not from Chantilly, SLakes, Centreville, Oakton, Braddock, SOCO, whatever. Just someone in the know about what really goes on over at Westfield. Should be ashamed of what they are doing there behind the scenes.

Not much point in answering your question because you won't accept any answer anyway.

But I'll give observations:

1) Injuries. They had a very rough patch of games in that stretch when they had 5-6 key contributors not playing. Not the same ones each game but impactful nonetheless.
2) Four of their top five defensive lineman were first year starters. It took a few games for them to develop. Their level of play at the end of the year was tremendously improved over the earlier part of the season.
3) Hubris. It's human nature but after so much success some players think it's going to just happen. More than one player pointed to bad practice weeks leading to a bad game.
4) Defending state champions. Of course every team is trying to win but Westfield definitely gets every teams best game. They have a target on their back as they should. Not only bragging rights of knocking off the defending state champion but also revenge for previous years losses. Actually same with Centreville - always a lot of bragging when someone takes Centreville down.
5) Offensive play calling. Westfield has been very conservative and has underutilized their talent early in the season. The last two years they really opened things up in the playoffs and it worked.
6) Playing both ways. Throughout the season Westfield rarely plays their best athletes both ways. Until they reach towards the end of the year. The last two years by the time they reached the 2nd/3rd round of the playoffs they were playing their top athletes both ways on a regular basis (Jewell, Petrillo, Cockrill e.g.). Something they did not do often if at all in Simmons first four seasons.

Be careful bad mouthing LB staff, you will pay when we play you.
You will see what the best staff in state looks like.

BTW....
Stone Bridge has never beat LB and they wont this year!!

Westfield never plays well early, so LB wins easily.

The last time West Potomac beat LB, most of the players on this team were in
1st or 2nd grade. Not going to happen this year either!

Coach Doc 3-0 to start the season!!!!!!!

Westfield prepares week in and week out for every team as good if not better than practically every team. The sycophants and Morons you speak of are not Westfield faithful after all this is a public forum. The True fans that sit in the stands every week and have been followers of the program for many years and multiple children know right away whom speaks fact about Westfield and who moronically incites this public forum! As for the Team by team analysis it can be broken down as Follows:

Stonebridge, early on, Westfield missed on 2-3 deep balls that were certain Touchdowns Eckert dropped 2 behind the defense and Frimpong 1. Had Westfield capitalized on those Morin might have had 6 interceptions that game instead of 3. This allowed Stonebridge to continue with their running of the ball ultimately wearing down the Westfield defense and knocking out several key defensive players for Multiple weeks. On this day Stonebridge was the better team and Won a decisive Victory.

Briarwoods one factor one player decided the outcome. Ben maffe when Briar Woods got in the Red Zone he was given the ball usually out of the Wildcat and the best player on the field that night scored 5 times and Westfield had NO answer. One of the singularly greatest efforts by 1 player in a long time. Had Westfield converted on the 2pt conversion for the Win they would have squeaked out an undeserved victory and Maffe still would have been the Game MAP.

TC Williams, Westfield has always struggled against their athleticism look at the History of the games few decisive blow-outs based on the final score. Most teams play within a system that allows a team to scheme against and game plan for. TC Williams lack of Discipline coupled with their athleticism will continue to be a problem. If they ever buy into a Coach/System the Glory days are almost a certainty.

Robinson, a disciplined Run heavy physical team that went up against a Westfield defense that was still dealing with the injuries sustained during the Stonebridge game Robinson wasn't the result of being unprepared, it was the result of being depleted defensively, worn down and having an offense that could not control the clock with a running game and still had not put the passing game together completely. Westfield did however manage to hang in there and as LUCK would have it, score one late, recover an unbelievable onside kick and let the best kicker in the State do What he does, note Delaney was only 60% successful on his FG attempts so from 42 yards nothing was given.

The Robinson game was for many reasons the turning point the Players started to get healthy, the Coaching staff started to believe and other than Madison in the State-semifinal Westfield did not face another physical opponent the last 9 weeks of their 2nd Championship Run.

LB will definitely beat Westfield in next weeks opener.

There QB is the real deal an will torch the Westfield defense, just like they did with St Johns in the scrimmage.

This year LB has so many athletes on the field, I cant see Westfield being able to keep up with them. Westfield is really slow on defense this year

This could actually be a blow out for LB.

Stay tuned, cant wait for next week!!

All you Westfield fans, this is a new season, no one cares what happened last year.

LB is the team to beat this year, look what they did to St Johns College High School, in a short scrimmage. They lit them up thru the air, look for a lot of that next week in the opener and all season long.

Coach Doc has got this machine rolling, so you better so get on board or get run over.

LB out here vs a Freshman squad getting all excited. They have scored on just about every drive and actually running the ball some, and defense has kept MANASSAS PARK to roughly about 50 total yards of offense.

Great confidence booster as they prepare for The reigning state Champs in the opener!

Also, as everyone has been saying this is the best staff in the state, Westfield will get to see for themselves next Friday night.

Game of the week at Westfield on Friday.

LB has too many weapons for Westfield this year, here are a few of them:

Darcy Methany, Dizon, James, Cobb, Ahearn
Best coaching staff in the state has this team running like a fine tuned machine

All of this adds up to a big victory for LB
Prediction is LB 35 Westfield 7

I said this last year and I'll say it again... Hayfield is the dark horse this year. I think they will challenge Westfield for the crown. They have the best overall player in the region and their QB this year is better than the one they had last year. The QB is only a Sophomore and he's getting D1 looks already!

Great time to be a Hawk!

LB goes down BIG this Friday Bulldawgs by 38+

Lets Not be Absurd, While I Agree LB goes Down Friday, Westfield offense 2017 is not Westfield Offense late Season 2016. They are not capable of Scoring 38+ points with out a few Defensive TD's or Special teams help. With that being said expect a tight game by the Score-board 20-13/21-17 however The Westfield Defense will dominate this match-up and it wont be nearly as close as the Final score indicates.

What are Rankings any way? Remember its not where you start, its where you Finish. Stone-Bridge would gladly trade that #7 slot early on for a Final 5A #1 at the end of the season. wasn't Centreville #1 in State in 6A last Year before laying a goose Egg week #8 or #9. South Lakes can Hang their Ranking in their Gym after the season, with their easy schedule they should have no problem being the Paper Tiger until week 12-13.

2. Wise
3. St. John's
4. Damascus
5. Gonzaga
6. Friendship Collegiate
7. Stone Bridge
8. South Lakes
9. Quince Orchard
10. H.D. Woodson
11. Centerville
12. Episcopal
13. Spalding
14. Old Mill
15. West Potomac
16. Eleanor Roosevelt
17. Oxon Hill
18. Maret
19. Madison
20. Sherwood

So to the Stone Bridge comment, #1 5A in Virginia is not going to bounce them much higher in the Post's ranking vs. the others on this list.

Westfield will probably win the region again this year. Good staff, good players and good numbers make a difference.

West Po, South Lakes, CV and SoCo will be tough. Watch out for TC and MT V as they may surprise a few teams.

Hayfield is way down this year and wont be tested until week 4/5 against South County. QB position and O line could be their biggest weakness. Cobbs is the best receiver in the region but you need to have someone who can get him the ball.

LB may struggle this season, welcome to the big time new coach.

Good comments. Same as always I see Westfield and Centreville as the top two teams. I'd give a slight edge to Centreville. I think you picked the best of the rest. Maybe a team from PW county will break the top 10 - Patriot or Hylton?

Let the performance on the field speak for his abilities. From what I have seen your "Doc" won the games that he was supposed to win but never pulled off what would be considered big upsets. In 2014 Jackson had Greg Stroman which has proven to be hard to handle as a collegiate athlete. In high school a single D1 athlete can take a team fairly far.

Men will never understand all the work it takes! Nails Done! Hair Done! outfit layed out for prowling the sidelines of Northern Region Football! lets get this party started!

Robinson vs. Hylton, the Rams will play tough and try to keep it close with ball control offense however Ricky Slade is to much Hylton 38 Rams 17

South Lakes vs. Woodson great game to work out any remaining kinks for the Hawks, this isn't Basketball we are playing here boys Seahawk ground game could pile up 500 yards before this one is over. look for Woodson to pick up a few late scores as the Hawks 2-way starters tire late. seahawks 42 woodson 21

South County vs. Langley anyone see the catholics vs. convicts 30 for 30? if Panoni can keep the mob from self destructing, they could score 60+ South County by a Truck load.

Madison vs. Marshall, look for a spirited, emotional Madison team to release a lot of tension on an over matched Statesman team. Madison 35 Marshall 10

Westfield vs. lake Braddock a lot of hype surrounding a new staff and much controversy at LB can the Bruins live up to the hype and catch Westfield before they get the ball rolling? Westfield defense keeps it close and welcomes the Good Doctor to the Big Leagues. Westfield 24 LB 21

Chantilly vs. Hayfield Can Hendo get the ball to his play makers? look for a young Chantilly Team to make too many mistakes against a high flying hawks team that will be running and gunning all night Hayfield 45 Chantilly 13

Centreville vs. Stonewall, look for Coach Haddock to send a message to the region early as the revamped Wildcats will demonstrate their dominant run and newfound pass game against a Stonewall team that probably should be playing JV ball Centreville 51 - Stonewall 10

Oakton vs. Battlefield Battlefield returns their King maker and all of Gainesville hopes their winning ways, Battlefield returns to form and gets the W against and eager oakton team that simply has too many Holes to fill. Battlefield 31 oakton 23.

Sorry Boys, you will have to wait a week to see the Bulldogs from Stonebridge annihilate loudon Valley expect the margin of victory in that one to be 40 plus depending on how many times Mickey elects to go for it on 4th and 8 from his own 35.

Congratulations to the Fairfax Rebels on their win tonight, breaking a 19 game losing streak. It wasn't the prettiest of wins, and it was only against McLean, but a win is a win, and it gives those boys something to feel good about, after enduring so many losses.

Rebels? Seriously, when is FCPS going to join the 21st century. All of us with a social conscience demand the name be forbidden! In fact he whole school should be torn down!

God, not you again, please, go away, your not funny!

Anyone who comes to this thread knows you have a hard-on for the Bulldogs. Your constant posts, using "real" WF fans user names, to boast about a program you have so much hate for are childish.

I know it's a waste of time, but please find some other program to stalk!

I was at the game and Edison is weak, MV looked pretty good, but Edison defense is horrible.

MV had three TDs called back, it could have been 91 to 13

Westfield should have had at least 10-14 more, and the one LB TD was the result of a fantastic catch. The margin should have been more like 35 points. LB will beat the teams they should this season, but WP is not one of the teams on that list. WP should crush LB next week unless LB finds a running game or WP has no secondary.

I think you've missed the point, it would appear every high and mighty post is from the same poster. He/she waits till someone posts anything positive about WF football then replies with some absurd statement using the name of the previous WF fan post. Whomever this individual is obviously the one who's got issues.

I'm also not too sure what disturbing oversights you're referring to. They suspended a bunch of kids a few years ago for disciplinary issues which followed county guidelines. I'm pretty sure you can dig deeper to find other issues that were handled the same way just didn't receive the publicity that one event did since it was reported in the Post.

Yes, teams sometimes do get lucky and win games that they shouldn't, I agree. However it's pretty hard to state that luck has made them one of the most successful Virginia high school football programs over the last 17 years. I think that would probably be from great coaching and keeping a consistent model on how a clean program is run. Don't give me that cheating, overlooking, swept under the rug, turn the head, etc. bs either, it's simply unfounded.

By the way, I'm pretty certain if you looked into any local high school program you'd find plenty of issues that would not be acceptable. How many of those get swept under the rug? I'm sure more than you or I would ever know. These are 14-18 year old kids. Teenagers make get into trouble, push boundaries, and make mistakes, it's called adolescence.

I don't understand what you are talking about the "same poster" as I do not follow this thread so consistently. Nevertheless, when I do it seems that WF posters (and you included above) take a real "my shit don't stink" attitude about Westfield football. Westfield fans and posters simply have an air of superiority about themselves that is unseemly. Perhaps time for you all to get a life - that is why you are all talking in an echo chamber here - because people are tired of your circle jerk.

No. Your just a jerk. Talking about and discussing one's favorite team is not "acting all high and mighty." You're are the same troll who's been bashing Westfield and their fans on FFXU for 3 years now - you started in 2015. Same verbiage. Same wording. We get it. You hate Westfield. Don't think it makes you special.

Thanks for being so generous and allowing that Westfield has a good program. Very big of you.

Not many. Just you and maybe one other troll. Always vague and unspecified rumors. It's an anonymous board - why don't you ever actually name names and go into detail. You aren't even imaginative enough to make something up. It's always just innuendo.

There are plenty of posters from other teams that are on these threads over the years. Usually when their teams are doing well - Centreville, South County, Lake Braddock, South Lakes, Madison, Robinson, Fairfax, Falls Church, Hayfield, Oakton, Chantilly. And they have a mix of obnoxious and observant posters as well. Should we assume ALL Lake Braddock fans are like the person that has been pumping that program this year? No, we take it for what it is worth. Pretty amusing actually.

Welp... Be better if you don't want the score ran up. It's pretty hard not to run up the score when your 3rd string back takes a run up the middle for a 40yrd td. Maybe they should just punt on first down to keep the score fair to fair.

Yeah, everybody's a winner. Trophies for all.
Edison is gonna be miserable Friday night. Isn't this matchup called "the bird bowl"? Years ago the teams were pretty much evenly matched. Not including when S.County opened and took football players.

But how did those scores occur, I was there so here goes

JV offense 30? yard drive with no passes.

JV offense 15? drive with no passes. FYI it was a 15 yard drive because Edison let the ball roll around on the ensuing kick off and MV recovered it.

Edison fumbles on their 5? and MV JV player recovers for the TD.

Those 3 series were for a total of about 50 yards.

It's not called running up the score when Edison's VARSITY GIVES MV JV great field position and can't stop the MV JV from scoring - it's called being horrible.

I bet Hayfield hangs 100 on them.

Westfield shot themselves in the foot with far, far too many penalties-somewhere between 150-200 yards; the QB was a SO making his first varsity start and throwing to 3 receivers (JR, JR, SO) who also made their first varsity starts; they start more than 50% underclassmen; and the line has only two returning starters. Sure, they may struggle against SC tomorrow but they have so much upside that they will be fine.

SOCO is definitely a step up from LB, but WF isn't Langley either. Been watching WF football for 12 years now, live close by, had kids in the program years ago, still like to stop by on Friday nights. This is what I remember from the game last week.

It was the first game for both teams, both formidable opponents, both looked pretty much what you would expect from two good teams squaring off in the first game of the season. Let's also remember this is a week earlier than what normally is the start of the regular season for FFX County programs.

Offensively the penalties definitely didn't help WF, far too many holding calls which brought back a few big plays. Saw a clip where Simmons said he doesn't remember a game in his coaching career where there were that many penalties. Also, don't forget, the QB was making his first varsity start as a sophomore, something that's a rarity for the program. He threw 2 INT's in the first quarter, most probably from jitters. But he settled down and got tremendously better as the game went on. He's got some really good skill players around him and the usual big guys up front so they should be okay.

Defensively I like what I saw, Cockrill is a beast as a defensive end. They have plenty of kids on the offensive side in skill positions, he should spend most of his time on D. The line got good pressure all night, 3-4 sacks if I remember correctly. LB's & DB's played pretty well to, not many big plays given up, maybe 2 catches. One reception might have been more luck than skill. They certainly have some kids that can hit, they play pretty fast as well.

The previous poster mentioned the upside for potential, there are definitely more underclassmen playing than I've ever seen before. It also appears to be a few less numbers in the program but I'm sure that's the case most everywhere in FFX County.

Overall it's a typical WF team, stars from last season are gone, they just plug the next kid in and don't seem to miss much of a beat. Look, they may not win the state championship but this is definitely going to be a very good team, this year and next!

Lake Braddock's tackling looked terrible in those videos. Linebackers out of position and no one pursuing the play. Sorry to those LB followers but those issues come from poor coaching!

HS Football 2017 -- You're right, "Linebackers out of position and no one pursuing the play." Worse on a couple the video, there we're players who gave up on the play, let alone not pursuing...and yes, agree, that is coaching.

Will be interesting to see what the matchups and end result of LB vs. WestPo Friday...and Westfield vs. SoCo

I wonder if Briar would be able to knock off Westfield again if they played this year?

McSorley must be embarrassed about what has happened to his ol' high school,

Oh, and as bad as Briar is this year, they could still easily handle Wakefield and Washington-Lee.

LB 0-2, for the first time in 10 years. What's up Doc?

For all the Doc lovers you said give him a chance and we will see what he can do with all the talent they have at LB.

Well, so far I am not impressed and with Stone Bridge coming this week, looks like 0-3 is very likely. Now I will give you that Westfield, West Potomac are very good teams, but Docs track record has been he wins the games against bad teams, but hasn't beat any good teams. It was also referenced that with all the talent at LB he will finally start beating the good teams.

So I will start it now Dump DOC!!!!!

What is wrong with CVHS, with Haddock comparing this team to the one from a few years ago that won states, I was expecting a lot more. To struggle at Stonewall 7-0 at halftime to losing to Champe (5A school was 4A last year) something is wrong. Either coaching or scheme or bit of both and them, puffing out their chest in false bravado is not cutting it. Freedom put up 54 pts on Stonewall last night. Wildcats, more like kittens.

You are the fool. Coach P didn't leave due to pending "sinking ship," anyone with any knowledge knows this. As far as "The Best Coaches" in the state, Wins & Losses typically dictate that coveted title. However It is rumored the Bruins Halftime snacks were a PLENTY, heard Kristy Murphy "Director of Football Operations" heads this task in addition to keeping track of losses. Kudos on the peeled orange slices, mini Doritto bags, classic coke and to offer mini cheeseburger sliders from Elevation Burger! Well Done Doc & staff....
WELL DONE!!!
Don't need to talk about Making LB Great again. Let's just follow the "Best Coaching Staff in the State's" lead, the half-time snacks and participation ribbons are being resurrected in Burke.
Thanks Doc

Are you kidding me????? No clue ...huh?
Braddock has more talent then any team in the conference
The have at least 5 starters returning on offense and defense, including a very good QB. Yes, you can blame Doc for this, he is the head coach. It is his responsibility to get the players ready to play, he hasn't done that yet.

This team should be easily be a 9-1 8-2 team and a deep run in the playoff.

Was at the Westfield-Lake Braddock game and I think Lake Braddock had every bit as much if not MORE talent on the field than Westfield. They just got out-coached. Plain and simple.

It's coaching. People never give any credit to big schools for winning. But 3 largest schools in Fairfax are 0-2, 1-1 and 0-2. It's not just a numbers game. Winning isn't easy.

Where are all of the Doc supporters that said give him a chance?

He has been given a chance and they are 0-2.
I would say at best, they can finish 6-4. Losses to Stone Bridge, South County are a given, Robinson, a rival, anything can happen. They must not have any hiccups with the remaining teams. So 5-5 is a possibility as well. This with a team that should be contenting for a state title every year. You have to beat the SoCos the Westfields, and the better teams and this staff has no track record of doing so.

Doc and his staff are nothing more then social media gurus, tell players, parents and administration what they want to hear, In other words, cheerleaders. They have not demonstrated that they are capable of leading a big time program.

The Lake Braddock community and alumni have been very disappointed in this staff that calls itself the "best in the state"

Hayfield had a penalty on just about every offensive play in the first quarter. Turned in on in the 2nd and only scored once in the 2nd half. Could've scored a lot more than 55 if it wasn't for penalties and resting starters. Did not run up the score on Edison like Mt. Vernon did

Look for CVHS to get decimated by SOCO next week. I can see them easily losing 5-6 games this year, if Haddock ever thought he could compare this squad to the ones that made the state title runs he needs to have his head checked. SOCO, S.Lakes, W.PO, WHS & Madison that could be 6 losses. Maybe time for him and his wing-t to retire also his staff not nearly as good as some of the others. D.C. Is a loud mouth who likes to cuss at teenage boys because it makes him feel better about himself and his shortcomings. I think it's time for a new voice to lead CVHS, they have too much talent to squander like they have been ever since 2013-2014 teams.

WHS coaching staff has proven past 2 weeks why they are the best in VA(in case some weren't convinced or had forgotten already by the back to back state championships titles) LB & SOCO has better overall talent on their roster, offense and defense, any other coaching staff would've lost these games but WHS coaches to their credit pulled it out by winning at all facets of the game, offense, defense & SPECIAL TEAMS!
If Simmons had the talent at CVHS or SOCO or LB has this year they'd go undefeated and get the 3-peat.

I agree Westfield is the best staff in the state....I have no idea why Lake Braddock thinks that staff is so good. With all that talent...and haven't done anything with it. Westfield, SoCo, Hayfield, South Lakes and Madison are the top 5 with Westfield being a notch above.

I saw the L Braddock West Potomac game last night, Braddock's QB is pretty good, he moved them up and down the field. They have a couple of really good receivers number 4 and 21, both made some nice catches and were running open all night long.

Braddock almost won the game at the end, I cant believe they haven't won a game this year, very talented team.

L Braddock has some huge coaches at least 3 or 4 are 350lbs or better, they look so unhealthy. Is the head coach the little short guys that runs around screaming the whole time? He is funny having to look up at the players

Not sure what that is based on. Credit Fairfax for holding Madison scoreless in the second half any making the final score respectible. Fairfax has improved defensively, but the offense needs help. The o line couldn't block anyone. One of their tds in the second half was aided by three consecutive fifteen yard penalties on Madison's second string defense. Still,it was a better effort against Madison than last year's effort.

The next two weeks won't tell us much about Fairfax. They play Lee next week, which should be a win , and Hayfield, which should be a loss. The game on September 22 against Annandale should tell us a lot about how the program is progressing.

1. Centerville - Too much pride and history to look this bad
2. Chantilly - They are just a bad football team that can't seem to do anything right.
3. Robinson - Even when they win, they look ugly. Upside is this school really doesn't care.
4. Oakton - Hard to understand how/why the Cougars have fallen off so fast
5. And of course, Lake Braddock - Let's just be honest, this staff is not good, and out of their league. If they can't get to at least 7 wins and win a playoff game or two, this will be a one and done.

Simmons is not on hot seat because he knows the way to win is to convince your school to hire six head coaches to be on the staff with you at WF.

You must be one of the Parents of all the Lake Braddock kids that Ran like Rats Friday Night When We Busted up their little Social Gathering. Quite a few of them should be easy to identify Monday morning in scho by all the scratch marks all over them they recieved when they took off running through the Woods, it happens every Friday and Saturday night all over the County.

It's a real Shame Panoni doesn't have six head Coach's on the sideline. If he did One of them might have acted like they actually had been in a Big Game before and Made sure their Special Teams had 11 guys on the Field for the extra point in O.T. instead of carrying on like a bunch of ameuters acting like they just Won the Ball Game..We will never win the Games that count until he gets his Head out of his a$$!

Lets face it, the problems at LB isn't Doc's fault.

1. He wasn't named to the position until May
2. All of the talent graduated last year (why do you think Poythress didn't mind leaving)
3. Very difficult schedule, toughest in the state
4. All of the distractions going on in the media about the administration
5. Very little support from the community, they favor the old coach

How many coaches would be successful with all of that?

Doc and his staff will rebuild this program, it will just take time, its not going to happen over night. All of you old time LB supporters need to stop bad mouthing the staff and have some patients.

It's "patience" patients is what Doc and his staff look like what they soon will be at INOVA with their heart issues for being so fat. Quit your belly aching, LB has a ton of talent. Should've beat WHS and WPO. Doc sucks!

#3 - Difficult schedule, sure-but only because they play 4 very good teams. Toughest in the state? Not a chance-not even the toughest in NOVA. Four good teams (WF, WP, SB, SC), one rivalry game (Robo, which they should win) and four patsies (WS, FFX, Yorktown, WTW, Oak). Looking a lot like 6-4, maybe even 5-5.

Lake Braddock will be fine, even if they end up 0-3. Westfield is Westfield and West Po is much better than expected. The Bruins lost a lot on their ground game obviously but they will shred most defenses with their passing attack.

This LB staff doesn't know how to win against the good teams.They have no track record, so until the staff finds a way to win against good teams, they will always be an average team with exceptional talent. A 5-5 or 6-4 record is not acceptable at a school like LB when they have all of the talent right there.

A good coaching staff finds a way to win against good teams. No way they should ever go 0-2, 0-3 with the talent they have. Even Westfield was surprised at the talent on this LB team

This team had the talent to win 8-9 games and make a deep run into the playoffs, sorry to say, the coaching staff is holding them back.

- Falls Church (1-1) at Mount Vernon (2-0)
- T.C. Williams (2-0) at Tuscarora (1-1)

If Annandale can hang with Robinson, Mount Vernon puts a beat-down on FC and TCW can be competitive with Tusky that would be something.

Tusky and Robo will dominate and the games will be over by halftime.
Their line play on both sides of the ball is far superior to their opponents.
FC vs MTV will be interesting, but it's hard for me to believe that a team that got killed by SL will be able to beat anyone above average. I'm just not sure MTV is above average yet.

Why don't you fine folks shut up about Lake Braddock and move on to verbally abusing some other poor souls. You are all so powerful with your fat ass sitting behind your computers mouthing off. You'd run off like little girls if you were confronted face to face.
Are you too stupid to realize it's some troll egging you on. The LB coaching staff has kept their mouths shut and some idiot looking for confrontation is having a good time typing and drinking their Shlitz.
Move on and enjoy the football season.

Here are the facts:
LB sucks
Record will be 0-3 after they get drubbed 20 points or more by Stone Bridge
The program is based on cheats and karma has now caught up with them.
LB allows "athletes" in all sports who live outside the school boundary to attend LB

You should start your counseling on how to be a loser now.

As a parent of a kid who was "recruited" buy other schools in Fairfax County, I can tell you you are way over blowing the situation at LB.

Even when the school wants a kid to come play, they still have to follow FCPS pupil placement rules and get approval from the county. You can't just show up at another school and enroll.

If it is discovered a student is using a false address to attend another school, the county will make the school forfeit all of the games in which that student participated. Coaches are so watchful of the transfer issue, not many are willing to take that chance. They want the kids legally in their school.

Pupil placement transfers are also subject to space availability at the school they are trying to move into. So when a kid outside the boundaries wants to move into a school, the county looks at the capacity of the gaining school. LB is usually between 97 and 100% capacity. If they are moving from a school closer to 90%, they are probably not going to get approved.

So you left with the kids whose parents are willing (and financially capable) of picking up and moving across the county for their kid to play HS sports. That's a pretty small number.

The bulk of how one school (LB), gets so many good athletes is when their parents are moving into the district, they search out the schools that will be best for their kid. If they are football players, that most often will be LB or SoCo. (Westfield may be too far out for some parents, although I will concede the greatness of their coaching staff). Poythress was very good about ensuring incoming kids got to LB. He made them feel wanted. Other schools don't want kids from the outside, as they feel its not fair to kids who have been in their program for several years. So LB ends up with kids who care more about football and are more dedicated. It's a simple as that.

For the record, my son did not end up going to LB. We had to move, which was okay, as we went from renting to buying a house. My son had a really good HS experience and we were very lucky. Coach P was really nice to us,and always friendly to my son after their games. So no hard feelings.

Last I heard, the Class 6 directors were still debating the fate of Regions C and D here in the North. I heard they intended to combine both regions into a massive sixteen-team single-elimination tournament for the region playoff. For comparison, nearly all other regions around the state have standard eight-team playoffs for each region. Have there been any official updates? If not, I will be posting results from now on as a 16-team playoff.

VHSL has really dropped the ball on this one.

Predictions...

- Annandale (2-0) at James Robinson (1-1)
First time these two have met since 2004. Robinson should win this one going away.

- Capital Christian (0-1) at Thomas Jefferson (0-1)
Know NOTHING about Capital Christian. But DO know TJ has lost 34 games in a row.

- Fairfax (1-1) at Robert E. Lee (0-2)
Fairfax should have enough to send Lee to 0-3.

- Falls Church (1-1) at Mount Vernon (2-0)
Predict a Mount Vernon upset here. Or would it really be an upset?

- Herndon (1-0) at Chantilly (0-2)
Coach Curry gets his first win at Chantilly.

- James Madison (2-0) at West Potomac (2-0)
Madison is very physical team. Defense will slow WP down.

- J.E.B. Stuart (0-1) at Park View (0-2)
Both teams looking for what may be their only win of the season.

- Langley (0-2) at W.T. Woodson (0-2)
Woodson because they are at home?

- South County (1-1) at Centreville (1-1)
Expecting a close game. Centreville has room for improvement. Don't forget they took down heavily favored Lake Braddock & Lamont Atkins early in the season last year.

- South Lakes (2-0) at Oakton (0-2)
A blowout. Oakton just ain't what they used to be.

- Stone Bridge (1-0) at Lake Braddock (0-2)
Hard to believe LB starts 0-3.

- T.C. Williams (2-0) at Tuscarora (1-1)
TCW has been known to surprise teams on occasion. Perhaps they give the Huskies a game?

Seems like more evenly matched games this week.

- Annandale (2-0) at James Robinson (1-1)
Hard to go with Annandale after a disappointing season last year.

- Capitol Christian (0-1) at Thomas Jefferson (0-1)
Capitol Christian might show up with 50 players and a full cheerleading squad, they might show up with 12 players, half of whom are foreign basketball recruits who have never played football before, they might realize they've scheduled three games for the same day and not show up at all. TJ"s lost so many games in a row that I can't pick them but it's not out of the question for them to win this.

- Fairfax (1-1) at Robert E. Lee (0-2)
Lee was competitive against West Springfield but Fairfax actually posts their stats in the Post website so I'll go with them.

- Falls Church (1-1) at Mount Vernon (2-0)
MV will score too much to lose to Falls Church.

- Herndon (1-0) at Chantilly (0-2)
Coin toss, I'll pick the team that's actually a won a game.

- James Madison (2-0) at West Potomac (2-0)
Playoff rematch, West Pot had the quality win last week so they get the nod here. We'll learn a lot about both teams.

- J.E.B. Stuart (0-1) at Park View (0-2)
Park View should be playing TJ.

- Langley (0-2) at W.T. Woodson (0-2)
Langley showed signs of life last week.

- South County (1-1) at Centreville (1-1)
Probably just anti-LoCo bias speaking, but if Centreville couldn't stop one kid from John Champe how are they going to stop South County?

- South Lakes (2-0) at Oakton (0-2)
I guess South Lakes got all of Oakton's football talent in the redistricting.

- Stone Bridge (1-0) at Lake Braddock (0-2)
LB had plenty of chances against West Potomac last week, but they don't really have any of the standout players they've had in recent years.

- T.C. Williams (2-0) at Tuscarora (1-1)
Has TC ever played a team from Loudoun County before? They've played two potential 0-10 teams the first two weeks. Tuscarora not the same team they were a few years ago, could go either way.

- Washington-Lee (0-1) at West Springfield (2-0)
Once W-L's enrollment hits 5,000 they'll have a decent football team. West Springfield bouncing back after being perhaps the most disappointing team in the area last year.

- Yorktown (2-0) at Wakefield (1-0)
Yorktown is actually only 1-0, but they're 21-0 in their last 21 games against Wakefield, so there's only one way to pick.

They are a VHSL member, but ineligible for playoff consideration in football.

And asking a school like TJ-A to compete in 5a in football is asking a lot. Besides, I'm not sure the ego's of the kids on one of the big time 5a schools could handle it if a nerdy little brainy kid from TJ got in a pancake block!

Correct. TJ's only official game was against George Mason.

Your bad info is that Millbrook played Jefferson, West Virginia NOT TJ-Alexandria.

Chantilly 0 - Herndon 0 at the half. Oh, the humanity.

Chantilly has 0 first downs and lost yardage on EVERY possession except for 1. Against Herndon. Herndon had probably 75% of their snaps on the Chantilly side of the field but never came close to scoring. I think they had 2 first downs.

Mark it down here: Chantilly goes 0-10 if they don't somehow get a miracle win here.

Centreville and South County squared off in what was a pretty good game, with Centreville building a 10 point lead in the second quarter, falling behind in the third quarter before retaking the lead, then holding off South County to win 31-27.

Centreville received the ball first on their own 20 yard line. On the very first play, the QB handed the ball to a RB, who handed it off to the WR in what looked like a reverse. But then the WR flipped the ball back to the QB who had a wide open player down the middle of the field-but the pass was off and the receiver could not haul in the pass for what would have been a sure TD. CV then punted three plays later and SC took over on the CV 48 yard line. Unable to move the ball, SC punted and pinned CV on their own 1 yard line. SC's Dunn intercepted QB Egbers several plays later and SC had the ball back on their own 43 yard line, but a Tull fumble was recovered by CV on the SC 34 yard line. CV completed this drive with a 24 yard run by Kanu and went ahead 7-0 (Greer XP) with 2:30 to play in the first quarter. SC then put together a quick 80 yard drive to tie the score at 7-7 (Arquette XP) on a 3 yard run by Spalding at the 11:32 mark of the second quarter. CV immediately answered with an 80 yard drive of their own, capped by a 1 yard Kanu TD run at the 5:52 mark to put CV ahead 14-7. After a SC punt, CV drove from their own 19 yard line to face a 4th and goal at the SC 2 yard line, where they elected to go for a 17 yard FG, which Greer hit, to go into the half leading 17-7.

SC started the second half on their 35 yard line and had to punt. CV then returned the favor, giving SC the ball on their own 37 yard line. On the first play of this possession SC's Tull went 63 yards on a QB keeper and pulled SC to within 17-13 (Arquette's XP missed). CV again went three and out, giving SC the ball back on the SC 44 yard line. SC went on to score again, this time on a 4th and 1 from the CV 2 yard line when Spalding ran it in the 2 yards and put SC ahead, 21-17 (Tillard 2XP) with 1:57 to play in the 3rd quarter. CV would immediately answer, using a one play, 77 yard run by Wright to jump back in front, 24-21 (Greer XP) with 1:35 left in the third quarter. SC's next possession was a three and out, giving CV the ball on their own 43 yard line. A few plays later CV's Kanu went 44 yards up the middle and CV extended their lead to 31-21 (Greer XP) with 7:45 remaining in the game. SC again went three and out, as did CV. With 3:36 left and trailing by 10 points, SC started on their own 37 yard line and marched 63 yards, capping the drive with a Tull 1 yard run to pull within 31-27 (XP missed on a bad snap) with 2:23 to play. SC tried an onside kick on the ensuing kickoff and a CV player touched the ball and it was recovered by SC at the SC 48 yard line with just over two minutes to play. SC got a Tull run to the CV 46, then a penalty on CV pushed the ball to the CV 41. CV's defense then broke through on the next play and sacked Tull at the SC 49 yard line, but two plays later CV's Maxwell intercepted Tull and CV was able to run out the clock to win 31-27

The Washington Post has an article today about the Madison/West Potomac game. You can read it online here:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/spor...4b862b2b3f3_story.html?utm_term=.6a9510c5f3d5

"Madison eventually finds its footing in 38-16 win over West Potomac"

By Dillon Mullan September 8 at 10:54 PM

West Potomac built early momentum with a long touchdown pass and an interception in the end zone, but its model for success was not sustainable Friday night.

On the visiting bench, Madison was not quite revving from the opening whistle. Its running game needed time to find its top gear, but once it did, there was no stopping the Warhawks.

Madison absorbed a few big plays and kept churning for a dominant 38-16 road win over the Wolverines.

“We knew we were going to come out here and dominate on both sides of the ball,” Warhawks senior offensive lineman Sammy Junco said. “We took a few series to get going but in the end there was no stopping us.”

No. 12 West Potomac (2-1) grabbed its only lead in the final minute of the first quarter when senior quarterback Tanner Jones stepped up in the pocket and hit senior wide receiver Nigel Okunubi in stride for a 63-yard score.

No. 15 Madison (3-0) drove to the Wolverines’ 11-yard line on the ensuing drive, but West Potomac sophomore Micah McDonald read Madison senior quarterback John Cothran’s eyes and intercepted his pass in the end zone.

Madison wasn’t done making mistakes. On its next drive, the Warhawks committed five penalties but still managed to advance into the red zone.

On third down, senior running back Casey Koshuta took a pitch to the right and pulled up short of the line of scrimmage and delivered a short touchdown toss to junior wide receiver John Finney as Madison took the lead into halftime.

After the break, the 6-foot-1, 215-pound Koshuta didn’t need any tricks. He carried the ball 21 times for 105 yards in the second half to finish with 176 yards on 37 carries.

As West Potomac’s defense showed signs of fatigue in the later stages of the game, Madison’s seized the opportunity.

“This is what those offseason workouts are all about, being ready to come out here and dominate,” Koshuta said. “We preach adversity, we knew this game was going to be hard, but that’s what this season is about — fighting through adversity.”

West Potomac avoided a blowout thanks to another deep ball from Jones. This time senior DeAndre Webb ran away from the secondary for an 86-yard touchdown that cut Madison’s lead to 31-16 with 11 minutes to play.

“I knew from the beginning that we would have opportunities for shots,” Jones said. “But we got to stay together for the whole game on every drive. We can’t have players branching off a little bit and trying to do their own thing.”

Fittingly, Koshuta sealed the victory by running over several Wolverines to score his second touchdown of the game with four minutes left.

After three impressive wins, Madison will travel to Ashburn to take on No. 7 Stone Bridge (2-0) next Friday.

It would only be bizarre if it stayed that way. Lb and SC have played westfields and cvilles, and Westpos and stone bridges

the teams at the top of the patriot right now have not ... they have their tough games later

Article captures the game pretty well.

Madison ran it right at the West Potomac defense most of the night, 4, 5, 7 yards a shot for the most part w/ Casey Koshuta (and Brandon Walker). More run heavy than usual with a few key passing plays, partly because West Potomac's line had good drive into and collapsed the pocket a few times early in the game. The Madison drive to make 10-8 at the end of the half was 7:20 long (even w/ a bunch of dumb penalties). They went to their #2 QB (Patrick Berry) in the second half after their starter (John Cothran) tweeked his ankle on a run option during that drive...didn't slow them down.

West Po's run/pass option offense had a few moments, but whatever their blocking scheme, Madison kept penetrating. The Wolverines did as well as they did by individual athleticism more so than scheme, coaching or conditioning (IMO).

Madison is @ Stone Bridge next week...that will be very interesting. The Warhawk's toughest games are all away this season including South County, Westfield and Centreville later in the season.

Excellent game summary as always. It's getting to be some kind of syndrome for SouthCo, that they play tough, close games but seem just fall short.

Any thoughts about what's missing for them?

Thanks for the updates, that Stone Bridge game went about how I expected. In the videos I've seen of Lake Braddock, their tackling has been terrible.

This is correct. Fairfax's two wins are against McLean and Lee. They have Hayfield this week, which should be a loss. The game the following week against Annandale will be more revealing as to what kind of team they have this year.

I hate to admit this, but I think Stone Bridge could beat any team in NOVA this year, and are probably one of the top 2-3 teams in VA in any class.

To be honest, I am not that educated in the intricate schemes and tactics required to analyze a football team well. But I have found over the years that I can see some scores, watch a few games, and then be quite accurate as to which teams are the better ones. That said, I expected a SC win last night based on the egg that CV laid last week against Champe, but I think the CV loss last week was just a bad game after I saw them in person last night. The CV running game was certainly able to exploit the SC defense with its speed and quickness, but the most important factor was that CV's #13, Anunay, played exceptional defense on Spalding. He tipped away the first three passes thrown to Spalding and was only beat on two pass plays all night, limiting Spalding to just 3-4 catches. Spalding's ability just kills most teams so the defense of Anunay was the deciding factor, IMO. When SC had the ball on their last drive with about 2 mins to go I thought they might pull it out since they marched right down the field on CV the previous drive using their bread and butter, the passing game. But when Tull did not/could not throw the ball away and was sacked near midfield, that was huge as far as a single play in the game. The Maxwell kid for CV then made a great read and got the INT that sealed the win.

I agree about Stone Bridge being really good. Where'd they get all the new "athletes"? I don't remember seeing all these kids last year. The coach is a great recruiter.

Stone Bridge is definitely a state champion in recruiting. Every year they bring in at least 2-3 impact kids from other schools.

Just a heads up Chantilly football has 10 sophomores starting on the Varsity this year so the future SHOULD BE bright, the present is a brutal reality that the current senior class and current junior class drew a line in the sand with the 'old' staff and this is the direct result of their dumb decision to do nothing football related for years, the 10th graders will get better each week BUT the schedule makers did Chantilly no favors as well, suffer and lose now to have a chance to climb out of the basement later!

Your youth feeder league is awful and what little talent you do get you can't keep cuz they get tired of losing and parents move to CVHS or WHS district or the kid(s) are knuckleheads and get in trouble and wind up at Mt View.

I do like your optimism, you must be a coach or have a kid at CHS but let's be real, your bad unathletic sophomores will become bad somewhat athletic seniors which will be good for 3-4 wins.

Can a head coach change really make that much difference? They got a LOT of hype last year and fell flat. And they lost a good bit of talent from last year.

Compare last seasons TC or Mt Vernon teams to the season before and tell me if a coaching change makes a difference.

Dominion @ South Lakes (-30.0)

Forest Park @ Centreville (-24.0)

Hayfield (-35.0) @ Fairfax

Herndon (-15.0) @ Marshall
*This will really be a measuring stick for the Concorde, if this is a close game which is very possible… The once mighty concorde is no more.

Jefferson (-3.0) @ Manassas Park
*If Jefferson is going to win their first game in years it’s this Friday playing a winless team outscored 119-0. This one can go either way.

Lee @ Stuart (-6.0): This one will be close.

Madison @ Stone Bridge (-7.0)
*Game of the Week

McLean (-1.0) @ Edison

Mount Vernon (-35.0) @ Washington-Lee

Potomac Falls (-10.0) @ Langley

- Agreed. This is the GAME of the week. I really like Madison, many thought that they wouldn't stand a chance in the Concorde but they have a legit shot at winning the Concorde district (either them, Cville or Westfield will win it). However, my gut tells me Stone Bridge will win.

Hard one to pick. Two polar opposite teams, in terms of style of play; Robinson is a very physical team and TC is highly athletic. Flip coin says Robo.

It simply says Centreville's Defensive Coordinator knows what every other Coordinator should know, You press Spalding and provide Safety help over the Top. Westfield Chose to stay in Zone most of the night allowing Spalding to catch a ball underneath and run through several Arm Tackles. Very few HS QB's are afforded more than 3 seconds in the pocket if you as a defense can hold up/ disrupt the receivers route(s) for even 1.5 seconds the Reads change dramatically and with one or two exceptions most QB's at this level are lucky to get to their second read before tucking and running or getting Sacked. Westfield utilized that Template to great success the Previous year when Joey Free had as many interceptions as Spalding had catches in their 2 Matchups. We all know Spalding is going to get his, it doesn't mean Teams should pad his stats by refusing to implement the demonstrated scheme that Works. #13 for Centreville did a great job and battled all night. There are several more Langleys on South County's schedule so Tull and Spalding will have ample opportunity to exploit overmatched Defenses.

...from Washington Post AllMetSports High school football notebook:

MADISON QB OUT 2-3 WEEKS

Warhawks senior quarterback John Cothran left Madison’s win over West Potomac last week with a knee injury the team feared could be season-ending. Instead doctors told Cothran he’ll likely miss two to three weeks, he told the Post. He’s set to get an MRI Friday to confirm there are no ligament tears.

The No. 12 Warhawks face No. 7 Stone Bridge on Friday in Ashburn.

That makes him potentially available for the South County game on the 28th...more likely for Westfield the following week. We'll see if Patrick Berry can continue to run the office at a high level in the face of the Stone Bridge defense...

who is playing quarterback for Madison. They have no shot of going into Ashburn and winning this year. And for those that think the outcome will have more to do with the injury, remember that Stone Bridge's best player is out for the year already.

Sorry, Fairfax fans. Biggest game of the year this year will be 9-0 Broad Run travelling to face 9-0 Stone Bridge for Potomac District title in Loudoun County.

CENTREVILLE HEEDS WAKE-UP CALL AFTER LOSS TO CHAMPE

Maybe all it took for Centreville to play its best football was a 28-21 loss to Champe in Week 1. The following Friday, the Stallions rode two 100-yard rushers to a bounce-back win over South County.

“We kind of got slapped in the face the week before [against Champe] and that woke up our program,” coach Chris Haddock said.

Bassie Kanu led the rushing attack against South County with 25 carries for 150 yards, and Jordan Wright had eight carries for 117 yards, including a 77-yard score.

Their preparation for the Stallions started in earnest on Monday. Saturday had been designated for airing out what went wrong against Champe, an opportunity to learn and then move on.

“Every week after a loss is a unique balance between learning from our mistakes and getting focused on the week ahead,” Haddock said. “We got focused real quick this week.”

This is the fifth installment of The Washington Post’s high school football notebook series, published twice weekly on Sunday and Thursday.

MOUNT VERNON OFFENSE SLOWING DOWN — FOR ITS OWN GOOD

After his team scored 70 points in their season opener against Edison, Mount Vernon Coach Monty Fritts had a unique problem on his hands the following Friday in another big win over Langley: On possessions in which his highflying, experienced offense didn’t score, players were getting frustrated on the sideline.

“The kids had unreal expectations,” Fritts said. “They had gotten accustomed to scoring every play. That gave us a bit of a learning curve.”

While it wasn’t quite the same performance as their debut, the Majors’ offense did put 37 points against Langley to go 2-0. For win three, it was 34 points in a win over Falls Church.

Fritts said the key so far has been the excess of weapons they have surrounding the heart of their offense — quarterback Tim Heltzel, a two-year starter, and wideout Darrien Newton, who Fritts called “one of the best players in the state.” That speed has given Mount Vernon big-play ability the Majors are starting to learn to do without.

"Westfield Chose to stay in Zone most of the night"

Probably not a bad choice in the end. When your best corner is 5'6" and the other is playing in second varsity game ever. Plan will likely be different if they meet again in the playoffs.

From the Washington Post high school football notes...

STUART'S 'BEST-KEPT SECRET'

Who is Ayhan Yenican? The Stuart quarterback who threw for 367 yards and five touchdowns last week. "He's the best-kept secret in Northern Virginia," Raiders Coach Clarence Martin said.

Martin caught glimpses of what Yenican, at 6-3, 210 pounds, could do last year, when he went under center after Stuart's starter went down and threw for more than 400 yards in a game. Martin gave him some snaps the rest of the season, but it was never truly Yenican's offense until this season.

"It was important to have a full off-season with him as the definite starter," Martin said. "He has great chemistry with the receivers."

Westfield did press Spalding with help over the top on almost every snap. He caught one ball with three defenders on top of him and his catch in overtime for a TD with was with two defenders closely covering him. In both cases Spalding made a tremendous adjustment to the ball which he does so well. Tull threw the ball into coverage because Spalding wins the majority of 50/50 balls. The hitch he caught for a 76 yard TD was a good adjustment by South County's coaches (and poor tackling by the Westfield secondary) by moving Spalding from the outside position in trips to an inside slot. Lastly, Spalding had 4 catches for 101 yards against Centreville. Although he did not have a receiving TD, 25 yards a catch is very impressive. Spalding deserves his due. So to say teams are choosing to refuse to implement schemes work is totally inaccurate.

There is no better possession Reciever in the Northern Region than Spalding, and if I needed a Big play his would be the number I would call. The vast majority of the Teams in the Region simply don't have an Athlete the caliber needed to match up. No disrespect to Mr. Spalding.

Au contraire, Cobbs from Hayfield is by far the best receiver in the region. Both are good athletes but Cobbs gets the nod in terms of athleticism. Bigger, stronger and faster and he excels on both sides of the ball.

The real Bulldogs are from Stonebridge, not Westfield. Its a good thing we dont play you,this year Stonebridge is the far superior team. Tonight we beat another team from Fairfax county. Madison QB is out, so no passing. They wont be able to run against us. No chance. 3-0 for the real bulldogs baby!

The first half of this game saw a grand total of five possessions between the two teams, and the pace was also moderately quick in the second half. With just a handful of penalties and both teams preferring to run the ball more than throw, there wasn't a whole lot of time for scoring.

Stonewall opened the game on their own 29 yard line and moved all the way to the WF 14, but then SJ's Boxley was intercepted by Steinhilber on the WF 4 yard line to stop the drive. WF ran a few plays but was forced to punt and SJ took over on their own 37 yard line. After a few SJ plays, the first quarter ended scoreless. After the second quarter started SJ did move downfield to the WF 37 yard line but their drive stalled and they were forced to punt, pinning WF on their own 12 yard line. This time, primarily behind the running of Asante, WF marched 88 yards and got the game's first score. WF scored when Kim hit Cirillo with a short pass and Cirillo broke three tackles on the way to a 22 yard score. 7-0, 3:24 to go in the half (Steinhilber XP). SJ then managed a short drive before giving the ball back to WF with just enough time for one unsuccessful play and the half ended with WF ahead 7-0. In the first half WF used the running game almost exclusively, with the few passes they attempted often ending up with a QB sack by the SJ defense or just a short gain on a scramble. SJ relied heavily on Boxley's running ability with a few runs mixed in from Royster, and also tried a few passes to their main target, Howard, but many were off the mark. This same pattern held in the second half for SJ, with Boxley probably taking on 75% of the SJ offense himself.

The second half saw WF with the ball first and they came out throwing, getting to the SJ 44 yard line where they faced a 4th and 10. WF's Kim lined up as the punter and attempted to run for the first down but was stopped well short and SJ took over on their own 40 yard line. SJ went three and out, giving WF the ball on the WF 33 yard line. This time WF put together a 67 yard drive, scoring for the second time in the game when Kim hit Morin on a 22 yard pass to extend the lead to 14-0 (Steinhilber XP) with 4:24 to play in the third quarter. After getting the ball back SJ again went three and out, and WF wasted no time, with Kim hitting Kiley on a 56 yard, one play drive to extend the lead to 21-0 (Steinhilber XP) with 2:03 to play in the third quarter. The fourth quarter was mostly uneventful with both teams putting together three short drives each, combining for two drives ending in punts and three on failed 4th down attempts before WF's last drive reached the SJ 15 yard line and the clock ran out.

Manassas Park never scored a single damn point this entire season until they met TJ. Dear God, TJ really is terrible.

Article from the Washington Post.

Stone Bridge senior Daniel Thompson has 237 receiving yards as Bulldogs fly past Madison

By Dillon Mullan September 15 at 11:13 PM

Last season, Daniel Thompson was a luxury. The Stone Bridge tight end impacted every game as a deep threat, but the Bulldogs emphasized their running game. Every throw was set up by success on the ground. Play-action was preferred to straight drop backs. In a loss in the state final in the last minute, the Bulldogs completed one pass.

Now a senior wide receiver, Thompson is a necessity. No. 7 Stone Bridge can lean on the 6-foot, 215-pound target to lead its offense regardless of the production of its ball carriers. In a 35-10 win over No. 12 Madison in Ashburn on Friday night, Thompson outran and outjumped whoever the Warhawks had defending him. He caught nine passes for 237 yards and three touchdowns.

“In the offseason I worked hard every day, lifting and running routes with my quarterback. Nothing fancy, just working,” Thompson said. “Now I’m able to do more for our offense. We have a couple nice weapons to get points on the board. We’re hard to stop.”

In place of senior John Cothran, who injured his knee in a win over West Potomac last week, Patrick Berry started at quarterback for Madison. The junior had the visiting student section chanting his name after he completed his first three passes. On their first drive, the Warhawks converted two fourth downs, ran 16 plays and drove 75 yards to take a 3-0 lead.

But that opening drive was not a sign of things to come. After rushing for 176 yards on 37 carries last week, senior running back Casey Koshuta had only 59 yards on 17 carries Friday. Stone Bridge (3-0) made Madison (3-1) one-dimensional, and the Warhawks could not consistently get first downs through the air.

“They were strong up front. We definitely had to air the ball out a little bit, but that didn’t work for us until the end of the game,” said Madison senior wide receiver John Finney, who caught six passes for 128 yards. “We come up short sometimes, but we’re going to be all right moving forward.”

Stone Bridge returned nine starters on defense this season, and that experience stood out against Madison. After the Warhawks scored again on their opening drive of the second half, the Bulldogs adjusted to shut them out the rest of the way.

“Stopping the run is our game plan. That’s what we do every week. If you can’t run, most offenses aren’t going to be able to do anything,” senior defensive lineman Jack Kosko said.

Stone Bridge junior quarterback Mason Tatum completed 12 of 21 passes for 301 yards and four touchdowns. Thompson caught touchdowns of 80, 31, and 78 yards.

Over the past two seasons, the Bulldogs lost six games combined in September and October before peaking in November to reach the state final. This year they’re hot from the start. Seven straight weeks of games against Loudoun County competition begin with a visit to Champe next week.

“We’re really comfortable right now,” Kosko said. “We think we can do really great things.”

With many good games on the NOVA schedule I finally settled on checking out the Madison Warhawks (3-0) @ Stone Bridge Bulldogs (2-0) matchup. Stone Bridge is no stranger to success with 13 District Championships, 10 Regional Championships, 1 State Championship and 7 State Runner-ups in the 17 seasons since the school opened in 2000. Madison has seen a resurgence in their program – going 19-4 the last two seasons and defeated Stone Bridge last year in a 19-15 upset.

Stone Bridge won the coin toss and put together a nice drive into Madison territory highlighted by a couple of big receptions by #2 TE Mark Williams and #9 WR Daniel Thompson. A fumble at the Madison 26 yard line however ended the drive.

Madison opened their offensive game with a 16 play, 60 yard drive that finally stalled at the Stone Bridge 14 yard line. The Warhawks picked up four first downs with a mix of 8 runs and 7 passes. Madison #13 WR John Finney caught 3 passes on this drive. Madison’s field goal try was successful giving them a 3-0 lead.

The lead was short-lived. After a touchback, Stone Bridge’s first play was an 80-yard touchdown pass from #12 QB Mason Tatum to #9 Thompson. Stone Bridge 7 – Madison 3.

The Bulldog defense stopped Madison’s next drive, forcing a punt after two short runs and an incomplete pass.

With 1 minute remaining in the first quarter, Stone Bridge began their next drive on their 33-yard line. After two pass completions for first downs and a short run, the first quarter came to end. The first play of the second quarter resulted in an interception by Warhawk defender #1 Alex Jalloh. Jalloh had a decent return but a personal foul penalty pushed Madison back to their own 11-yard line.

Madison ran three times for a first down and a late hit out of bounds gave them another 15 yards. But an interception by the Bulldogs #31 Cole Gordon turned the ball back over to Stone Bridge.

Two plays after starting at the Madison 16-yard line, QB Tatum found #2 Williams in the end zone for a 12-yard TD. Stone Bridge 14 – Madison 3.

Madison found it difficult to solve the Bulldog defense as their next drive which started at the 29-yard line was another 3 and out.

Stone Bridge took over at their 46-yard line now with 8:09 remaining in the first half. After a first down incompletion, Tatum quickly found his rhythm, completing three consecutive passes – the last one being 31-yard touchdown to #9 Thompson. Stone Bridge 21 – Madison 3.

The Warhawk offense had some success on their next possession – helped by a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the Stone Bridge sideline. The 10 play drive – fueled by 6 runs – was stalled by 3 incomplete passes and an illegal procedure penalty. Madison was forced to punt again.

With about two minutes left in the half Stone Bridge passed their way into Madison territory but an incomplete pass left Madison with the ball on their own 29-yard line with 5 seconds left in the half. And so it ended.

The Warhawk offense got the ball first after intermission and immediately proceeded to put together an impressive 7 play, 70 yard drive – scoring on a 2-yard touchdown run by backup QB #2 Patrick Berry (Madison’s starting QB was injured last week and did not play). #13 Finney caught two long passes for first downs on this drive. Stone Bridge 21 – Madison 10.

Stone Bridge’s first possession of the second half was equally successful. It was an 8 play, 68 yard drive. After throwing the ball a very un-Stone-Bridge-like 21 times in the first half, the Bulldogs put the ball on the ground running their more familiar single-wing offense. #32 RB Tommy Williams ran it in from 9 yards. Stone Bridge 28 – Madison 10.

Madison got the ball back and feeling the need to score quickly put the ball in the air with QB Berry completing three passes – including a long gainer to #15 WR Johnny Hecht. Madison ultimately turned the ball over on downs when a QB sack on a fourth-and-five play from the Stone Bridge 10-yard line ended the drive.

The Tatum to Thompson lightening then struck for a third time as the big and speedy TE overpowered the Warhawk defense and scored a 78-yard touchdown on a catch-and-run. Stone Bridge 35 – Madison 10.

Much to my surprise this ended the scoring. Madison’s next three drives were 3-and-out, interception (#31 Gordon again), 5 plays and punt. Stone Bridge’s next three possessions were 3-and-out, 8 plays and turnover on downs, 3-and-out.

Madison did get to the Stone Bridge goal line on their last drive of the game but an interception in the end zone left Stone Bridge with the ball on their 20-yard line with 12 seconds remaining in the game.

Final score: Stone Bridge 35 – Madison 10.

I thought Madison held their own in the trenches with Stone Bridge pretty well. But the Bulldogs speed and size in the skill positions was decisively superior. Was very impressed with the play of SB’s QB Mason Tatum. Stone Bridge #7 WR Tyrese Johnson + Williams and Thompson make a formidable receiving corps. Stone Bridge has no real weaknesses that I observed – honestly, this team compares favorably with the Centreville Wildcat team of 2013. I could easily see them going 15-0.

Madison has a very good football team. Their special teams were quite solid – excellent night of punting by #15 Hecht. They are going to win a lot of games this year and I would not be surprised to see them win the Concorde District. They just were outmatched by a dominant team this outing.

Good analogy as always falcettik, game was pretty hard to watch, not a great deal of excitement. WF's defense bent but didn't break, their offense was less than impressive in my opinion.

SJ had a few athletes but make no mistake, WF should have handled them easily, they did not. It was only 7-0 at the half, if SJ doesn't turn the ball over on their first drive it might have been 7-7.

WF's offense sputtered primarily due to their O-line play, too many SJ defenders getting into the backfield. I don't remember the exact number but it seemed Kim was sacked several times. There also were numerous times Asante was hit before getting to the line of scrimmage.

Defensively WF played okay, but no consistent push from the D-line. SJ's QB had more time than WF's when he dropped back to pass. WF did do a good job of everyone hustling to the ball but gave up too many yards considering their opponent.

Hopefully the play of WF in this game was due to their opponent and being off last week. Bottom line, if they play the way they did last night against Madison or Centreville, it's not going to be pretty. I know a few might respond that "WF always gets better as the season progresses", but last night was just plain ugly in my opinion.

I wasn't at the game, but judging by Hayfield's Twitter feed, the game wasn't as close as the final score indicates. Hayfield scored a TD early in the fourth to go up 30-10. The next reported score was 30-17 with about a minute and a half to play. It would seem as if Fairfax recovered an on side kick and scored, possibly against Hayfield's second team d as time expired ( can't be certain this is what happened though).

As otherwise pointed out, Hayfield needs to work on extra points. Their inability to make them could cost them a game in the future.

Deja vu. Third game of season last year also. Westfield 21 TC Williams 14. Everyone was saying how badly Westfield sucks. Who knows, maybe one day they will be right.

Was at the game...if Madison's starting QB was playing, maybe a couple more touchdowns, because of better arm strength and accuracy...would not have mattered though, Madison still would have lost. Stone Bridge had to much speed w/ Thompson vs. the back of the Madison defense; they could have throw 2 or 3 more bombs to jack up the score if they wanted to.

Wins this week against quality opponents caused Woodbridge and Hayfield to leap the furthest up the playoff standings, while Prince William teams Battlefield and C.D. Hylton took hard losses and plunged way down.

nat4lee,

Where are you getting your power points from? I am calculating them and I have several differences, starting with #2, which I have as South Lakes with: 98 game pts, 16 bonus pts for (98+16)/4 = 28.50

Also Regions C and D are conducting separate 8 game playoffs.

Sorry, Fairfax fans, Loudoun County football is much better than Fairfax.

As for those making fun of Stone Bridge losing in the 5A finals all the time, they were head and shoulders above Westfield last year, and were not state champs because they had to play Highland Springs instead of Oscar Smith. Same as the year before.

And the reason why they lost in their other final appearances was because they kept getting matched up against Phoebus when they won like 60 in a row.

Stone Bridge would beat Westfield by 20 or more again this year, just like last year. I also think Westfield would lose to Tuscarora, Broad Run, and maybe even Champe if they played this year.

Stone Bridge wanted to keep playing Westfield out of conference, but Simmons bailed.

Biggest NOVA game of the year will take place last week of the season when Broad Run and Stone Bridge match up, with both coming in with 9-0 records.

A gross over-generalization. Sure, some years the top teams are better than in Fairfax. And it sure seems that way this year. But not every season. And you have some bottom of the barrel crap teams in Loudoun so go away.

Let's see - both games Westfield's defense made a stop in crunch-time. Against a D1 recruit QB - who holds a bunch of VHSL passing records. What did Stone Bridge do? Got spanked once and then didn't make the defensive stand when they had the chance the second time. It is not obvious that Highland Springs was a tougher draw than Oscar Smith. Debatable sure, but not obvious.

Guess that doesn't count then.

Right now maybe. Stone Bridge has built a super team this season. But you are a fool - a deluded fool - if you think Stone Bridge would have beat Westfield by 20 in a playoff re-match last year. Would have rated that game a toss-up. Actually, they probably would have won because Westfield has better coaching.

However, sure looks like Stone Bridge will have a hard time botching things this year. They have a heck of team - a lot better than last year for sure. But geez, when Westfield beat Stone Bridge three years in a row it was quiet out there wasn't it. One win and the chest-thumping begins.

Combination of factors honestly. Starting QB suspended. Fairfax emotional surge to win on Homecoming. Mistakes by Hawks to keep Fairfax in the game. Three dropped INTs including what would have been a pick six and another that fell into a receiver's arms for a TD.

>Stone Bridge wanted to keep playing Westfield out of conference, but Simmons >bailed.

You realize that Simmons doesn't make the schedule, right? Also, since they've moved to the new format there is no advantage, actually a hindrance, to play teams not in your classification. The only advantage is to play teams out of state, those games don't count at all to the point system. So playing Stone Bridge has no benefit moving forward for Westfield.

Stone Bridge loses the big game because of coaching, not who the opponent is. If Thompson had to field his team year in and year out, with the students that are supposed to be in his school he'd have a mediocre program. It's no secret that Thompson and company have actively recruited players during his tenure. Simmons coaches who he's got, bottom line, that's what good coaches do.

But keep telling yourself how great Stone Bridge is. In the meantime Westfield will just smile as they pass their trophy case with MULTIPLE state championship trophies....

TE Thompson is NOT related to the coach. TE is bi-racial. Mickey not involved.

Really - I was going to stay out of this, but 97% of the people who go to this site are so sick and tired of the dopey Westfield suck ups. And I know some just post to yank a chain, but many believe their own drivel. Um, Simmons absolutely controls who he plays out of conference. Are you a moron? Listen, I think he is a great coach. I also think that Thompson chokes in the big games. And I also know that he absolutely recruits, but so do all of the bigger programs. You don't think Westfield gets kids from the Chantilly mess of a program? Simple fact of the matter is Stone Bridge ran roughshod over Westfield last year, and would do so again this year if they played. Westfield isn't going to get out of the region this year. Mark it down.

Don't be so opportunistic. Everyone knows that nutcase is a troll - so stop pretending it is a real Westfield fan. Hell bucko - very likely is you.

As an aside, it is a FACT - I just double-checked to make sure: EVERY player that took the field for Westfield in the state championship game last year played FRESHMAN football for Westfield. No exceptions.

Not saying they don't ever get transfers or that kids don't move before high school but it's definitely not like Stone Bridge.

So Stone Bridge beat Westfield last year, soundly. Didn't Westfield do that to Stone Bridge the year before? It was the first time Thompson beat Simmons in what, 4 seasons. Simmons is 3-1 against Thompson if I'm not mistaken.

The previous poster did make a valid point. Westfield has no desire, as do most 6A schools, to play 5A teams. The power points for a victory do not equate to beating a team in your own class. It's not worth having anyone on your schedule that's not in the same classification.

Remember a few years ago when Westfield beat Centreville in the regular season. Had a 9-1 record to Centreville's 8-2, but the 6A North championship was at Centreville, not Westfield. Westfield beat Stone Bridge, a 5A school that season, Centreville lost to Gonzaga, out of state team. In essence Westfield was penalized for playing a 5A school and Centreville's points were divided by 9, not 10 games. The Gonzaga game didn't factor in since it wasn't a VHSL opponent.

With power points being so important to standings/seeding's, you'll be hard pressed moving forward to have any school play someone out of there classification. You can thank the VHSL for that!

Let me drop some knowledge on you.
Stone Bridge series is tied 4-4. Not sure how long Simmons has been at WF, but they actually played each other twice in 2000. That was the first year for both schools.

Now, to your point about 6A not wanting to play 5A? You are correct, but only when 6A is afraid of losing to 5A school.

You get 2 more points for defeating a 6A school as compared to defeating a 5A.

HOWEVER, you also receive TWO bonus points for every win that a vanquished opponent has, no matter what classification.

So, if Westfield beat Stone Bridge, they would receive 24 points for defeating a 5A school, PLUS two points for every Stone Bridge victory. Let's say SB goes 8-2.

So, defeating Stone Bridge would give Westfield 24 points for the win, plus 16 bonus points for Stone Bridge's wins. That is 40 points for the win.

WF would earn 26 for defeating Lake Braddock, and then say 10 bonus points (5-5 record for illustrative purposes here) for Braddock's wins (I know, I know - being generous with Braddock wins) for total of 36 points.

You want more bonus points? OK, now each team receives two bonus points for playing a team out of their classification.

There is NO advantage to playing a 6A team over a 5A team.... unless you lose.

Which is why Simmons declined to pick up the SB game this year and moving forward.

Your VHSL information is outdated, but nice try.

Simmons has been head coach since 2011 .Simmons is 3-1 against Thompson. During Simmons tenure Westfield has beaten Stone Bridge 30-6, 15-9, and 28-7, his lone loss was 16-34. Not sure what your point is, I'm pretty sure Simmons has never shied away from anyone.

During Simmons tenure he is 74-10 overall, has 5 conference, 2 region, and 2 state championships. Thompson is 65-17 over the same period, not sure how many conference or region championships he has but he has ZERO state titles.

What is a known fact is Simmons builds teams, Thompson recruits them. Kind of funny, Block was Stone Bridge's best player last year, strange that he played for Briar Woods the year before.

Awesome comment about EVERY kid on the WF state championship team from last season played freshman ball at Westfield. So, keep thumping your chest on the one regular season victory from last season.

Truth is, I don't even like Stone Bridge. I just think that Loudoun is more competitive. And you are the one who claimed to be a Westfield historian, yet didn't know the series results or anything about the scoring for power points, yet tried to tell me that you did. No harm, no foul. No big deal. I happen to think that Simmons and his crew are the best coaching staff in the state, bar none. I just don't think their teams are all that talented, and was mad when Simmons, (Yes, Simmons!) wanted not part of Stone Bridge any more. By the way, Tuscarora also wanted to play them but were turned down. Instead, he turned south and scheduled Stonewall and Patriot, neither of which pose a threat. More importantly, they might not help his kids get ready for the physical playffs like they have in the past. Might be a tactical error. Oh, and I agree completely that Stone Bridge recruits better than most college programs. Think Jonathan Allen played youth football in Ashburn? :)

Apparently you don't know anything about the power points. When a team plays down a classification they get 2 bonus points PER classification for doing so to make up for the two game points lost, e.g. when a 6a team beats a 4a team they get 22 for the win PLUS 4 bonus points for playing down two classifications, thus getting the equivalent of 26 win points they would gotten for beating another 6A school. The points they get for the other teams wins are the same regardless of classification. So whether a 6A team beat a 5 win 6A school or a 5 win 1A school, they get 36 total points.

I agree the Potomac District has likely surpassed the Concorde District. But the Concorde is not the only District in Fairfax with good teams. I agree with you that Westfield is not likely to win the region this year. At least not the way they are playing right now.

So we agree on this also. I'd prefer Westfield played a tougher schedule and I think you make the exact concerning point.

WHS could def use some transfers this year and upcoming seasons. Looks like their time at the top is quickly coming to an end which is surprising a school that size and how little talent they are fielding this year. You would think back to back titles kids would be knocking down the door to get in but they all seem to go a few miles up the road to Centreville instead. Can't ignore WHS numbers are way down and team they are putting out there, just above avg at best.

Shocked at the number of people who have literally no idea how scheduling works for football and other sports in FCPS.

The Northern Region Football Council, led by the AD at Yorktown, does all of the football scheduling for the region. Schools that want to play games outside the region (like a DC or PW school) have to apply to do so before the schedule begins to be made. The 5A Loudoun schools have been a part of this scheduling body only for the last couple of years, which is why all of a sudden you started seeing WF/SB, CV/Champe, etc.

Each school then submits a "preference list" where they list from top to bottom the schools that are out of district that they'd like to play. The only way the council guarantees that two schools play each other is if they both list each other #1. A lot of schools end up fairly unhappy with the schedule they get, because they'll get their #1 (most schools link up with someone) but also their #8, #13, and #17, for example.

Perhaps WF and SB listed each other #1 for the last cycle - I don't know. Even if they did, and they decided not to this time around, there is no way of knowing who backed out. There will be rumors going both ways, and the preference lists are kept under wraps.

I can see why it would look that way – Westfield lost 9 seniors that are playing some level of college football as freshman this fall. Not to mention 3 additional athletes that could be playing football at the next level if they chose to. That’s hard to replace. So time for the rest of the region to take advantage. Stonewall JV tied Westfield JV last week. That doesn't bode well.

What do you guys think the conference will result in now that we're just about halfway through the regular season?

D1: Westfield> Centreville>Madison>Oakton>Chantilly
-Could see Madison take control of their game against Centreville, would certainly decide the finalist to take on Westfield for the district title.

D2:South Lakes>Yorktown>Washington & Lee>Langley=Herndon>McLean
-No question about this one, however you could probably take a guess for the last three

D3:West Potomac=Hayfield>Mt.Vernon>TC Williams>Annadale
-I'm fairly certain Hayfield can end MV's streak, and West Po ending MV's hype. The week 10 game between the two will probably overtake LB and SoCo's as far as the season finale.

D4:South County> Lake Braddock>Robinson>Fairfax>West Springfield>Woodson
Unless Lake Braddock can pull a Westfield, it seems like they're stuck under the Stallions for good.

Seen all of these teams play. I rank Westfield behind Madison and Centreville right now. Madison wins the district. Then Centreville. Then Westfield. Oakton and Chantilly are both just awful.

That is the old way games were scheduled. This season is all new and it's an s storm. Teams are ranked and can only play teams within a certain tier. They play their district games - all new- and the are given two games. Schools must then go find two opponents, but they must meet the tier qualifications. The new Concorde is screwed because they have to find 3 games not two. The tiers are based on the last few season records so scheduling becomes difficult. This also messed up PowerPoint like someone else brought up. It used to be a negative to play down now you might as well play all lower level schools and win to get more points. This was all started by the Robinson AD.

The Robinson AD is an idiot. That's apparent by how bad most of their programs are. He knows nothing about football, why is he doing anything with the schedule?

There is only one AD in the entire county with a football background, and he just took the job over the summer. Not surprising they screwed this up.

You could not be more wrong - there have been district games for over a decade (even when they switched to the conference set-up a few years ago). There are now 5 districts in the northern region (technically it is now two regions: Northern and Occoquoun) - Gunston is the name for the new 5th district - there are 5 to 7 teams in each district. Each team plays every team in their district, so a 7 team district has 4 non-district games, a 6 team district has 5 non-district games and a 5 team district plays 6 non-district games.

As far as scheduling goes. it has been done by the Yorktown DSA for as long as I can remember, each school's DSA submits a rank-ordered list of non-district games they want - I have know idea how that information is used - but the good-ole-boys club is part of it - if Yorktown's DSA likes your DSA you will get most of the games you requested. Also, if you want to play an out of state team you have to get permission from VHSL.

Also, I don't know what you mean by "tier" But I assume you mean class. There are NO class restrictions, in fact, this year Falls Church played and beat a class 2 team (3 "tiers" below their class 6) and gets full credit for a class 5 win due to the bonus points the get for "playing down."

Okay is that suppose to mean something like yeah big deal if Braddock beats Oakton there a 2-8 team that's not impressive this isn't 2006, 2012 Oakton ain't what it use to be and a 41-7 victory by braddock won't mean shit

LB should win against a very bad Oakton team that has their back up QB starting as the 1st string QB got injured again, probably out for rest of season.

Before you start crowing, let's see if you can get by ROBO and SOCO this year. I'm willing to bet no. Spaulding gets 5 total tds against you guys.

StatsMatter -
You couldnt be more wrong. The old way of scheduling games and ranking your opponents ended last season. This is the first season of the new schedule. FCPS was split into two separate regions too. Yes, district games have always been around and are always scheduled for you. However, one district - the new concorde- has 5 teams (or 4 games). So Coach Haddock has 4 district games on his schedule. He was then given three games by the scheduling committee. He then had to find three other games on his own. Coach Taylor from South Lakes has 5 district games (because his district has 6 teams not 5) then was given 3 games and had to find 2 more games.
Also - you do not need to petition the VHSL to go out of state anymore. The VHSL will automatically rank (Division 4,5,6, ect) an out of state game. See Falls Church - who plays two DC schools.

there are tiers too. They new committee led by the Robinson AD took the previous 3 season records and compiled them together and then created tiers to make the games given by the committees fair. This would allow a team like Marshall not have to play Westfield or Centerville because it would be considered "unfair".

I did some checking and based on what I was told by a DSA i know (next door neighbor), old school fan was mostly correct on how games are now scheduled. When he said "They play their district games - all new . . ." that threw me since districts have been around forever - I now understand that he meant the composition of the districts is new (the Gunston is the only new district). What I was told that differs from what he wrote is that the committee assigns THREE games (not two) based on the power points from the 2013-2015 seasons (not the past three, which would be 2014-2016).

Bottom line: Teams play every team in their district, they are assigned 2 (or 3) games and they are on their own to fill out what's left.

Now for some corrections to other posts on this subject:

1) To be a recognized school (one that counts for power points) the opponent must be a Virginia Public OR Private school or a Out-of-State public school. Out-of-state private schools are not recognized. To be eligible for the playoffs you must play 9 or 10 games against a recognized opponent. This year this rule effects:
- Wakefield - 9 game schedule since National Collegiate Prep is not recognized (out-of-state private school)
- TJ - not playoff eligible (not that it matters) since they only have 6 recognized games - 9 game schedule with three non-recognized teams.

2) The first tie breaker for determining seeding is to compute the power points using only Virginia school opponents - so if Falls Church is tied with another 5C region opponent their power points will be recomputed using only the 8 Virgina teams they play.

3) The DSA also told me that it has been decided that the Occoquan and Northern Regions will have separate 8-team playoffs with the winners playing each other in the state semifinal game.

4) Playing down one class or more does not have a negative impact on a team's overall power points calculation - they get 2 bonus point for each class down making up for the lower classes fewer win points - it would be smart for coaches to pick 1A schools with lots of wins predicted as they would likely beat them and get the same total power points as they would for beating another school in their same class with the same W/L record, e.g. a 6a school that beats a 8-2 1A school gets the same power points (42) as if they had defeated a 8-2 6A school.

5) Fairfax County teams are now in one of three regions:
- Class 6A; Northern
- Class 6a: Occoquan
- Class 5A: Region C (I guess they couldn't come up with a catchy name)

My apologies for jumping on old school fan.

I was at the ROBO game. ROBO completely shut down the pass and the run. Also, Hayfield was a very undisciplined team with several offsides on D and motion calls on offense. Robo could have added at least another 7, if not 14 to that score if they wanted to. Robo was running a QB keeper wedge for at least 4 yards per play all night.

Wow, based on his team's performance thus far, he is the last guy I would ask, he seems to be lost.

BTW, letting 1-4 Oakton score 31 points is not a "Huge win" but a matter of concern.

The LB team had every advantage athletically and physically in the game last night. The fact that Oakton hung with them at all is a miracle. Though the offense seemed to be rolling, they could have been shut down all night. Multiple times they had 3rd and 15+ but would convert due to the fact that Oakton had no pass rush due to limited size and speed. On defense LB was picked apart in the run game. Oakton's limited passing attack even hit for multiple big plays. This easily could have been an Oakton victory. LB might as well be Woodson II.

Come on now, Doc and staff has LB rolling, that's 2 in a row and ready to run the table. I think everyone knew it was just a matter of time before this staff got these players to start playing hard.

The Bruins will crush Robinson this week, no way they stop the LB passing attack, its just too good. The defense will step up and stop Robinson's running attack. I can see this being a blow out by Braddock.

This should be a good test for Lake Braddock.

They already know they can't beat the good teams Westfield and Stone Bridge.

They beat 2 bad teams Yorktown and Oakton

They couldn't beat West Potomac who is a decent team and Robinson falls into that category of decent team. If they want to make the playoffs this is a must win game.

I don't see them beating Robinson, Braddock's defense is horrible, is coach Edwards still at LB? Who coaches the defense?
The Rams offense will keep the Bruins offense off the field and Robinson wins in a close one.

BTW number 4 is a beast!! but he wont be enough for LB to win

Don't see it. ROBO's offense has been able to advance the ball at will and I think that will continue Friday at home. They have made some changes at CB to keep from getting beat down the side, like they were earlier on in the season. The results of that showed last Thursday, shutting down Hayfield. I have yet to see LB dominate a decent team, like ROBO did to Hayfield.

ROBO's offense has stalled against teams who are disciplined and fast, but dominated against teams that easily get out of position. Against Woodson teams coached by the current LB staff, ROBO scored 45 (2016), 56 (2015), and 57 (2014), largely because the defensive staff didn't understand how to stop the Wing-T. Will the better athletes of LB help them crack the code? Maybe, but it will be a test.

The real test of this game will be if Robinsons D can stop the LB passing attack. The only team that really attacked Robinson's secondary was TC, and for some reason they laid off in the 2nd half. Annandale scored 40 by throwing deep, but didn't do it enough to be competitive.

And for some reason no one seems to understand, Hayfield tried to run the ball, and when they did throw, threw to everyone accept Cobb. They only tried to stretch the defense a couple of times, and missed open receivers. If LB can't stretch the secondary, it will be a long night, as ROBO will take away the run and short pass.

For all of you coach Doc supporters and haters, this game will tell you a lot about this staffs ability to coach on a higher level.

Should be a good game.

Both teams are now 5-0. Looks like this might come true!

After 1 quarter, Madison up 3-0. They look like the better team so far, and should pull away in 2nd half in my opinion.

If Cockrill doesn't fumble at the 1, Kim doesn't touch out of bounds at the 4 and Hilldrup doesn't miss a 30 yard FG, this would could have been a 27-6 score. But then again, if "ifs" and "buts" were candy and nuts, wouldn't it be a Merry Christmas...

Since Kim touched out of bounds at the 4 there should’ve been at least 2-3 ticks put back on the play clock. Your are correct,this game shouldn’t never have been this close especially on WHS final drive,they should’ve been able to ice the game at 3rd and a foot with a minute to play on Madison’s 7yd line.

If Madison doesn't go for it on 4th and 1 1/2 from their own 29 yard line with 11 minutes to go with game tied at 3-3, Westfield never scores a TD. Not sure about the play calling there. These are two great defenses. I wonder how they stack up to Centerville.

I Guess if Madison doesn't go for it on 4th and 1-1/2 on their 29 yard line with 11 minutes left, the Game Would have just ended Right there in a 3-3 Tie. The Officials would have called the Game because Madison took a Chance, Gambled and Lost and that shouldn't be allowed. Not sure about your Logic.

Fewest missed opportunities/mistakes won the game. (whatever the Westfield apologists believe...) Could have ended 6-3 if Madison doesn't blow a coverage in the end zone...could have gone into overtime at 13-13 if Westfield actually had a kicker and made the field goal and Madison does get the touchdown at the end. Could the score been high in either direction, yes to that too.

Two very evenly matched teams...and I expect they will see each other again in the playoffs. Both team's upcoming games against Centreville will be interesting since the Wildcats had hard time with Oakton last night finally winning 26-20.

That’s 2yrs in a row CVHS has struggled against an over matched Oakton team. Seems like they can’t get up for teams they should boat race, is that coaching? Looking ahead to WHS match up? Gonna nite them in the sss sooner or later.

Two plays that were complete blown opportunities for Westfield. I believe it was the 3rd quarter, WF has the ball inside Madison's 10, 2nd and goal. Play action pass, Kim rolls out, WR open in the corner of the end zone, Kim keeps the ball and cuts back inside, tackled for minimal gain. The next play WF is stuffed and settles for a FG and a 10-6 lead.

The second, and what could have proved costliest. WF has the ball, 3rd and about a foot inside Madison's 20 yard line, less than 2 minutes to go. WF gets cute and runs a pitch, not a good call. I love Asante but he runs better north and south. WF loses about 10 yards on the play, settles for FG attempt and misses. Madison has all 3 timeouts and an opportunity to now win the game. Of course it turned out for WF but they certainly could have blown it with that play call.

I can see both these teams getting deep into the post season because they probably have two of the best defenses in the 6A North. It will be very interesting to see how both teams fair against Centreville. That game and West Potomac will be the tough games left for WF, probably what separates the Bulldogs from an undefeated season.

LB is on a roll!!!

I have been saying it all along, this new staff has done a great job with this team. Time and patience were all that was needed.

When they took over there was no discipline, no accountability and very little talent. They have coached and molded this team into a team that no one will want to play when the playoffs come around.

They have been getting very little credit, but, I think now you can see why people have been saying, this is the best staff in the state.

One Team One Heartbeat truly means something

Last night, West Springfield beat Fairfax 46-14. Going in to the game, I thought this would be winnable for Fairfax, even though I thought West Springfield was the favorite. Based on what I saw last night, West Springfield is much better than I think people are giving them credit be for.

Fairfax played well for most of the first half. With WAS up 17-0, Fairfax drove down to the red zone. On third and ten from the 16,. We got a sack for a seven yard loss. Fairfax missed a 40 yard field goal attempt. Fairfax forced a punt on the next possession, and drove down to the WD 3, for first and goal. A pass into the endzone was picked off and returned 105 yards for a TD. Instead of a 17-7 halftime score, it was 24-0 at the half. It was pretty much over then

West Springfield has a running back that is an incredible weapon for them. #22. He's short, so he's really hard to tackle, and he is really fast. I look for them to make the playoffs, and I wouldn't sleep on them.

Does anyone have an update? I hope the young man is doing okay under the circumstances.

Good game for what it was worth. Centreville just has more playmakers.

Are you drunk? LB was a contender last year, maybe, but only a long shot to win state. As for this year's LB-WF game, WF started 14 underclassmen, almost all in their first varsity game ever, and still won by 18. And if you were even at the game you would know it should not have been that close.

Given South County's recent struggles, I expect LB will finish 7-3. But unless LB has improved dramatically from their first game against WF they will probably go out in the second round, third round if they are lucky and the playoff matchups break out the correct way. They are NOT a good team this year.

I disagree. They had multiple D1 players last year, and should have been able to win state. A lot of youth started that game for LB too. It went both ways. It just seems a though the players at LB have started to play together. And you're right it should have been closer. It was a winnable game. And my prediction was 3rd round. So we aren't far off on that

I think LB IS MUCH worse this year than they have been in a long time, but I think it's the talent and not the coaching. When was the last time they didn't have a D1 commit starting for them? It's been a long time. All I'm saying is I think the coaches have done just fine with what they have, and will go 7-3 ish, finish 9-4 overall. That's my guess. And I was a huge Poythress fan on the field, but I think the new staff is just as capable. With last years team and this years staff, I think they honestly would have beaten south lakes before falling to Westfield

Are you really kidding me? LB has more overall talent this year, then they have had in the recent past.

While they don't have an Adkins, Adkins and Park were the D1 players on last years team.Only Adkins made a difference. Park was recruited because of his size and was an ok player, Methany was better, but didn't have the size.

The overall talent is much better, look at what they have this year in skill players on offense, Methany, James, Hanifi, Cobb Weidenger, Schulte and a returning QB in Darcy.

On defense McLean, Obrien, Ahearn, Hurley, Altman add Methany, Hanifi and Cobb.

Don't blame the players not having enough talent for poor coaching. This staff makes all the excuses in the world about not having any talent, kids don't have discipline or accountability, just coach the players and stop making excuses.

They had all those players at LB last year, plus Lamont and the whole fantastic O-Line. You're eating the coaches but I think they've done a fantastic job. They aren't making excuses they're just coaching ball. I'm not saying that my sons coaches are the best in the state or anything all I'm saying is that they're people who are working hard to coach, and to change the culture of the program in a more positive way. Monitoring my kids grades has helped him a lot. They're making our kids better young men instead of cussing at them and only paying attention to the starters. My son does not play much but he feels all the coaches truly care about him. As a parent, that's the biggest thing I can ask for. No, the players overall are not as talent as last year, but they are still talented. However, while they should have beat westpo, there wasn't a chance for stone bridge and Westfield would have been incredibly difficult.
That's all I have to say about it

LB has talent, they have talented players every year. This year is no different.

A school of that size with that many students, should be contending for a state title in football every year. If you think different, then you are fooling yourself. For the last 7-8 years they have been a top 5 team in the state.

You can say all this stuff about making the players better young men, accountable and all that, but bottom line is, if you don't win, parents will be all over the coaching staff. See previous threads when they were 0-3.

They are not even close to being the best staff in the state, they aren't even the best staff in their conference or the region. Win some games of meaning then people will respect you.

And that is assuming that they could beat John Champe, who thumped Centerville. Otherwise they finish 5th!

What exactly does that have to do with anything? As has been pointed out a myriad number of times - student attendance at a high school really doesn't have a heck of lot to do with how good an athletic program is. It is one small factor out of many. Misinformed comments like that are nothing more than an attempt to discredit any success achieved by large schools.

GTFO with that crap. WHS gave up only 6pts to MHS. The score should’ve been more lopsided if not for a couple of bad calls and curious play calls. It would be a much closer game if they played this year with WHS winning a nail biter because they know how to win close games. Rest of your Potomac conf is straight doodoo

Before trashing FFXCO teams why don’t you LOCO marks worry about winning the only game that matters, you know the one that’s played at the end of the year instead of losing to HS back to back years. See that’s the diff between WHS & SB, they win the games that matter most not lose to same team back to back. Dumbass! Also JC has been exposed to be a fraud same with Tusc.

Westfield would be right in the mix in the Potomac District. True, most teams Fairfax teams would not. So not sure if you are talking about Fairfax in general or Westfield in particular.

Potomac District is no doubt strongest district in the VHSL. But as always the defenses of most of the Potomac teams are suspect and probably won't stop anyone come playoff time so it will be the usual race to who scores 50 points first. Westfield's defense is better than any in the Potomac except maybe Stone Bridge. But then again Stone Bridge has a damn good team this season.

WHS can beat any DC or MD non-private school, based on how they have beaten the best Beach team past 2 yrs & experience in playing against them every pre-season ,can’t be so confident about SB. Their coach would probably pull another boneheaded move and go for it inside their on 40 on 4th & 5 with the lead and lose all momentum after getting stuffed and go on to lose the game.

Over the 2015 and 2016 playoff games Stone Bridge allowed an average of 24 points per playoff game, Broad Run 25 points per playoff game and Tuscarora 36 points per playoff game. Westfield gave up an average of 15 points per playoff game - and that's skewed by 5 overtimes.

Honestly, they do look good and I would like to see new teams in the fray, but I don't see them taking on powerhouses or making marginal wins indicative of playoff readiness. Their best win is against Hylton, which is impressive, but they just haven't had a difficult schedule.

Ok, this is the big week for the Centreville vs Westfield Game. So, let's hear the bold predictions. I think Westfield rested up there starters vs Oakton in Fridays game. It's been a while since Centreville has beaten the Bulldogs. (The silence of Centreville fans has been truly enjoyable, too!) I'd have to say I don't see a Centerville win happening this time around either. Injuries can change everything during a game and if I remember correctly these 2 beat up each other pretty well.

Let the chatter begin and let's hope they meet again, deep into the playoffs!

TCW lost 27-21 against Hayfield. Hayfield could have loss thanks to horrible play calling (being up 27-14, and going for a 1st on a 4th down on the 30ish yardline) of course TC scored off of it. Last 30 sec play on 4th down was an incomplete pass thanks to a Hayfield defender.

Next week TC takes out frustration on Edison, while the Gunston district champion game goes on an ancient revived rivalry against West Potomac at home. I honestly have no clue who will win. West Po has had a tougher schedule however that clearly didn't help with a crushing loss to Patriot and a downer against TC the week before. Of course, Hayfield is hayfield and lord knows that they could be up or down by 20 and flip the score in a quarter.

If West Po wins, then there could be a 3 way tie depending how MtV does against West Po or TCW. If Hayfield wins then they practically won as their only remaining opponent would be Annadale.

In reality, it should have been 2-1 Centreville in the playoffs. Centreville was by far the better team in 2013 and 2014 (and in the 2014 regular season game a lot of things went right for Westfield, I must admit). In 2012 the teams were all but dead even. In the regional championship Centreville was given two calls, one blatant and one confusing, that led directly to 10 Centreville points. The first was a defensive PI in the end zone. On that call I approached a group of head officials at the half who were there to supervise and watch the game (as they do every year for this game) to ask about the call. I asked why it was a PI. The supervisor of officials said, and I quote, "we were wondering that too". The other call was an alleged 4th down catch deep in Westfield territory where the ball clearly bounced on the ground and was scooped up. The official who made the call was behind the receiver and partially blocked from seeing the play but still overruled the others. It is what it is, the officials are human, and that's why we play the games. But don't be deceived by just the numbers.

Are you nuts? If you knew knew how big this rivalry was you wouldn't be saying that. Swap 14 wins to negate 3 playoff losses in years where you already got to the region championship? No way. That's bragging rights for a whole year right there.

Freedom is so far above the rest of the teams in their bracket (Region C) they are a virtual lock to make it to the state semis where they will have to play someone like Westfield, Madison, Centreville, etc. They have one key ingredient that makes them extremely dangerous-the QB. If you don't manage to contain him on his option decisions he can run away from most teams. That said, I think a power game will give Freedom a lot of trouble, and that is exactly what type of team I expect to emerge from Region D.

I'd say there defense as a whole is something teams will have to watch out for in the playoffs, anyone able to contain Ricky Slade deserves some credit

Correction, 33-14 near the end (MaxPreps as finicky as usual). Still, a surprising defeat for the Wolverines.

At this point I'm kind of just keeping it alive.... there is about 10 minutes left, 33-15 for Hayfield vs West Po.

Westfield up 27-11 with a few minutes to go. Not surprised, but I was hoping for an upset.

Stonebridge won in a close physical match, 14-13 over Tuscarora. Honestly I would consider this a draw by mere luck of a missed extra point. Still, good for them for remaining undefeated!

FreedomW once again owning a bad team. (I like them, I do, but I think people are severely overestimating by pure shock value of their rather arbitrary outstanding season). They're not vetted yet.

In all fairness, the Hayfield coach got pissed and ran the entire team for 45 mins before they got out the bus to Robinson. So they were done before they ever got to the game. When evaluating both teams, you really need to throw that game out.

That's 5 in row and they are getting hot at the right time, just in time for the playoffs.

So now for all of you naysayers, Doc has turned this program around and got them on the winning track.Now you can clearly see why the people on the board were all saying this is the best staff in the state!

The region better watch out because the Bruins have you in their sights.

Excuse me. WHY did the program need "turning around?" LB won 10+ games the last 5 years in a row. This year is going to put an end to that. First 0-3 start in 13 years.

Yes, we can see that the record of their first 3 opponents is 20-4. The record of their last 5 opponents is 20-20. Obvious is obvious.

No - Curry needs at least three years to build up a team. He turned around his LC school in just one year. Sophomores are starting. More will come out. He is disciplined, hard working and has great ties with the community. The last time CHS lost all games, they were in the state championship game the following year.

They had a tough schedule, no doubt, but they better go at least 4-6 next year if the coach wants to stay, because 0-10 with an opportunity against 4 scrub schools is unacceptable.

It’s Tilly what do u all expect...? Look at the demographics of that school. Also look at the youth (CYA) program, it’s a hot mess run by a racist a-hole (their numbers are steadily declining)3-7 or 4-6 is a good season for them to think they’ll ever be in states again is absurd.

No. Curry needs a chance - give him a couple of years. He's really a great guy, has all the local connections and I think everyone respects him. Just came into a bad situation.

Demographics? Pretty much the same as Centreville and Westfield. What are you talking about?

CYA - you might have a point there but that comment you made is way out of line and wrong.

Both are fed by SYA. American conference is where the varsity players are bred. Central is the benchwarmers. National is the guys who will play freshmen and then wash out. Exceptions apply to all these conferences of course.

Complete BS.

A lot depends on weight class and level. I have seen a ton of boys come off Central and start. My son played central and is starting varsity in his Sophmore year.

And for those who like to bitch about coaches, shut up or volunteer to coach yourself.

BTW. The racist moniker has last all effect, since it is the generic fallback to those who don't have a good argument.

I heard the same thing about Hayfield. There were 3 players all brothers/siblings who are no longer on the team as of this past friday. Seems like they did not live in the school district. To make matters worse it was the same 3 kids who left the school during last basketball season for PG county. Now I am hearing the hawks might have to forfeit the 5 victories that the players participated in. Anyone with more information on this? Something smells fishy.

I actually know the family, they all live in VA under Hayfield's district. They had a family issue that had to be dealt with. I'm pretty sure they live somewhere in Lorton.

Lorton is split between Hayfield and SOCO. They do not live in PG because all of them have been attending Hayfield since middle school.

Can we agree it's an absolute joke that Marshall could possibly be the number 2 seed? They have the easiest schedule I have ever seen.They play no one good. When Marshall actually played a good team, Madison, they got absolutely worked. Madison had all their JV kids playing the second half and they still looked better than Marshall. It's a strange world we live in when you would rather play the number 2 seed instead of the 8 seed.

Have been and are attending are different. They went to school in PG for the second half of last school year. They do not go to Hayfield now or Soco.

It's honestly cringeworthy. Is Marshall having an up year? Sure. As you said though, literally anyone else who qualifies in both brackets would beat Marshall handily. And, the funny thing is that, if #7 remains the same and they stay in #2 they'd play the other worst team in that bracket, that dag on Yorktown.... I think Yorktown could take'em, but that's literally their best opponent they can hope for the first round. If they do win that, they're getting curbstomped.

I guess literally being the only 6A team to have a conference only with the worst 5A teams in the area is an accomplishment.

Anyone in the Gunston district would beat them: I'd take a good day Annadale to beat Marshall instead of losing by 1-point in a shootout, and the other four (TCW, MtVernon, Hayfield and West Po) would show them what average 6A, and somewhat above average 6A teams would do to them are capable of over a "good year" team who play people who would be even more luckier than Marshall to qualify for their own playoffs.

I would the rate the chances as 12.5% or 1/8.

Oscar Smith will likely have to get past Colonial Forge which is not a certainty at all. Westfield is very good but not dominant and while they will be a favorite in any game in the post-season they have upset written all over them. Just a matter of which round.

From the discussions I have seen (vapreps, etc.), unless something really weird happens with the strength of schedule pts in the VHSL power ratings, the winner is the #3 seed and the loser the #6 seed. The game ends up being the rights to home field for the #3/#6 playoff game the following week.

South Lakes maybe just a little too far ahead in #2 position unless all their past opponents lose this week (or they lose to Herndon...heh...sure..) and all of Madison or Centreville's win. Westfield is a lock in #1

As expected, Westfield destroyed Chantilly, but you heard it here first, Westfield won't make it out of the region. When Chantilly went into a formation with an unbalanced line, 3 blocking backs and a running back in wildcat, Chantilly drove the ball at will. Used the formation for two drives, both against Westfield's starters, and both times drove the ball the length of the field on 7+ minute drives, one time for a TD, one time being stopped on 4th down on the 15. Your 6A north region champ will NOT be Westfield.

Posts like this show why the mighty Westfield Bulldogs continue to confound the lessers around here. If Westfield's D struggles, the offense will kick it up 3 gears. If the O is struggling, the D will clamp down their opponent like the 1985 Shitcago Bears.

Westfield had this game well in hand before the season even started. At this point, the only thing that can beat Westfield is Westfield.

SO, a couple drives which resulted in a total of 7 points makes you think the Bulldogs are prime for an upset? They might lose at some point, true, because that's how it goes but your analogy is flawed. Westfield had previously held two of the better rushing teams in the region, Centreville and Madison, to pedestrian results.

Plus, I guess you forgot about the 46 points they hung on Chantilly. Westfield has an offense that is more than capable of outscoring whomever it is they will face in the postseason. Plus, they have a staff that is probably one of the best in the state that's shown it can coach better than anyone in the postseason.

Gotta be rough being a Westfield-hating troll year after year. They are down this year but so is everyone else. No one stepped up and took advantage. 10-0. AGain. But every playoff game for Westfield will be dogfight to the end. They are not winning any playoff games by more than 10 points. Battlefield is good enough to take them down in round 1.

True, but he should still remain as a coach just not the head coach, he's to soft when i was there the weight room was always empty never forced us to go we were always the slowest, weakest team

Freedom Vs South County should be a interesting game, will South countys D be able to stop AJ Felton

Beating a team with 25% fewer players by a touchdown and taking double overtime a beat down shows just how ignorant you are. When in reality The Tiger's are the team you fear most.

Good luck getting to Hampton inn December.

Hope you enjoyed your little run, after this year MHS will be back getting owned by OHS and the rest. There’s no talent at your JV or FR levels.

Btw how was the 31-7 drubbing last night? Expect more of the same this coming week only this time it will hurt worse as you get sent home from playoffs and your season is over. 1&done!

2. Broad Run (316) 31.60
3. Tuscarora (301) 30.10
4. Champe (285) 28.50

6. Potomac Falls (243) 24.30
7. Wakefield (213) 23.67
8. Lee, R.E. (S) (234) 23.40

1 v 8, 2 v 7, 3 v 6, 4 v 5 Most likely all blow outs and all LC teams after the first round.

Here we go again. Can we just once and for all forget about attendance as being very relevant to the success of a football program.

^^^^
This constant theme that a big school can never ever get any credit for beating a smaller school is tiresome. Oh, a smaller school can brag endlessly if they beat a school with a higher attendance. If they lose... no credit to the larger school - they should have won anyway.

IT ISN'T THAT SIMPLE.

Why not?

Common Opponentz:

Battlefield 33 – Oakton 13
Westfeld 34 – Oaktan 14

Battlefield 38 – Chantilly 7
Westfield 46 – Chantill 7

Battlefild 28 – Stonewall Jackson 0
Westfield 21 – Stonewall Jackson 0

Patriot 14 – Battlefield 7
Westfield 46 – Patriot 33

Discount the Patriot result because Battlefield-Patriot is hometown rivalry. Battlefild has the better defense given up less points.

Lol, since you appear to think schedule is the metric, when you eliminate common opps that they both beat:

Westfield beat two mid-tiers: Springfield and WestPo and beat five playoff teams: SOCO (8), Madison (6), LB (3), Centreville (3) and Patriot (5)

while

Battlefield beat four chumps: Colgan, Forest Park, Osbourn, Osbourn Park and lost to all three playoff teams Hylton (5), Woodbridge (2) and Patriot (5)

Whom had the weak schedule?

Good afternoon.

In lieu of tonight's LBSS Booster Club meeting, I wanted to make sure you are all aware of the following:

Per letter dated November 2nd 2017, the United States Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights has announced that they have opened and will be conducting a formal investigation of the events that occurred at Lake Braddock regarding both the sexual harassment that occurred during the 2015-16 season on the LBSS girl's varsity basketball team and the subsequent sham investigations and cover-up by FCPS administrators and the Fairfax County School Board.

Presumably, this investigation will include LBSS Athletic Director Karl Kern's involvement in the retaliatory employment action taken against former LBSS football coach Jim Poythress and all of the actions taken by LBSS Principal Dave Thomas in response to the harassment that occurred.

Two additional/related items for you:

1. School Board Member Megan McLaughlin will be hosting a community round-table discussion at LBSS this Wednesday November 8th from 7:00 - 8:30 pm in the multi-purpose room (enter at Door #17 just to the right of the front entrance). The round-table discussion will focus on the upcoming budget projections, the new superintendent's goals, as well as any other issues or concerns you wish to discuss (i.e. the just announced federal investigation).

2. You can also ask Principal Thomas and/or Schoolboard member McLaughlin on when you can catch the next presentation of Principal Thomas' "Bulletproof" professional development seminar - which has been wildly popular among FCPS administrators and school board members, Virginia Department of Education officials, and Superintendents and executives of neighboring school districts. Please see below for a previous invitation that was sent out that explicitly details the topics that Principal Thomas will cover in his presentation.

P.S. In case you missed it back at the end of June, here is the Washington Post article that details what occurred that precipitated the federal investigation:
https://www.washingtonpost. com/sports/highschools/at- lake-braddock-sexual- harassment-accusations- personnel-changes-and- lingering-resentment/2017/06/ 29/59a3d00e-5536-11e7-a204- ad706461fa4f_story.html?

What makes this last post so impressive is that it is simple and to the point without any of the nasty comments or cursing which we have come to see of late.

You may squeak by TCW but no way you get past Woodbridge, they are going to smoke you guys and if by some small miracle you get past the (like the whole team comes down with the flu that week) your definitely not beating A.J.(leading candidate for POY) and Freedom.

I have to tell you - I worked the chains in a game two years ago on Oakton's side.

Was very impressed with the way he handled himself, the way he handled the kids,

and the strategy he and his staff employed during the game. They lost, but even

then he made sure his kids composed themselves and were great sports. I don't
believe that

he has gotten worse as a coach - his talent pool has dwindled. Mark my

words - affluent white areas are going to continue to lose their athletes

because the parents aren't going to want little Johnny to off himself a few

years after he has four or five concussions.

Bottom line - he was a credit to coaching and a school could do a lot worse

especially compared to some of the abject assholes who patrol some of the other

sidelines.

I am a big fan of local high school football and believe that Northern Virginia has quite a few tremendous programs. Is it just me or is anyone else rooting for Stone Bridge to lose, even if they make it to the championship and play Highland Springs or Hermitage? Normally I would always pull for the local team but I just can't do it with them. Have you seen the interviews on Gameday Magazine or anywhere this year? The arrogance turns me against them. Plus, I really don't like how they get away with plucking kids away year after year. They take the best kid from Briar Woods last year, he gets hurt, but don't worry - they already stole Atlee's running back, who is a difference maker. Would just love to see Tuscarora or Broad Run (both already played them close) defeat them in the region.I know they are not in Fairfax but it is playoff time and the Loudoun schools will be playing Fairfax and Arlington schools this week.

How do you know these schools are "taking" these kids? Maybe the kids what to go to a school where they will have a chance to win, or a program with more dedication to football.

You can plan to go 0-10 next year. Chantilly axed a great veteran coach too. Coaching changes are not always what they are cracked up to be.

Nobody wants the Oakton job. They are going to have to hire someone with little to no experience or a retread that in trying to make a splash in the concorde. The school is a country club. That staff did everything the could to make that team competitive year in and year out. There has to be a reason why the entire coaching staff would walk away.

What talent does Mount Vernon have? I went to their game last year vs. Annandale(go Atoms!) and they dont have any game changers...the head coach drives high school football...yes, you need talent but I think the TC guy could do alot at Oakton...he seems like a power guy and that is what they need

Word on the street is that there was a cadre of parents that made life miserable for the coaching staff. Given how little FCPS compensates coaches, no wonder why they'd want to walk away. Some thought the parent issue would go away when a certain player graduated last year, but it's only gotten worse.

Given the importance of off-season training and planning, they don't have the luxury of waiting until June to hire a new coach. They have to move quickly, or else risk having a late hire and only 30 kids trying out next year.

HEY BUDDY! I don't TINK SO!!!!! I believe the school board knows where Karl & I work. They certainly know where we are during "Lunch Time," that would be Chick-Fil-A or 5 Guys both in Burke. You would think if they want us, they would grab us @ 1 of those 3 places. Or perhaps they could catch us in The Mosaic district for most evenings @ Happy Hour & usually a couple of our buddies from Gate House across the street are pounding drinks and scarfing down Wings & apps. Actually Karl shut down the kitchen last week, ABSOLUTELY as true as the day is long. Well that was before day light savings.
I gotta run as shots and mini burgers just got here, and I need at least 1 before Karl scarfs them all.

Sorry but the only people on here defending inept Rowley would be either himself, or his silly coaching staff led by the fat man Glufing. Oakton has recent region championships in lax, baseball, solid at basketball... and you really think the issue is the parents? All those bums will do is cite the past or complain about redistricting to South Lakes as a reason for giving up 40+ a game. I sincerely hope that no other football player in the county ever has to deal with the bullshit enabled by Rowley & Gang ever again. The entire staff is walking away because they literally created a toxic program centered around the ego of some angry midget who'd rather such his own dick than change personnel or gamelan for an opponent. I must say, or at least in my observations as an Oakton parent who has direct ties with the program, if you knew coach Rowley... than your kid would see the field! They've run daddy-ball there for a bit now and it's nice to see it finally bite those fuckers in the ass! If Oakton and more specifically Oakton parents are the issue, explain why Oakton now has claim to 3 of the last 5 Wells Fargo cups? Or why our boys spring teams are historically so dominant?
Doesn't matter, Rowley and Rowley alone screwed up this entire situation. He left the program in a significantly worse position than he inherited. Happy trails, enjoy being an English teacher you bum!

Oakton will really miss Coach Rowley and his staff. They played sound football with less talent most years. I think Oakton is going to be terrible for several years now. Not only will they lose, but they won't be competitive.
There has been a trend over the past 5 years that wealthy suburban schools like Oakton, Woodson, West Springfield, Langley, Chantilly, and Robinson have really seen their talent drop off. As a fan, the size and speed difference is noticeable from the stands. Even Westfield isn't as talented as they were 5-6 years ago. The weight room and good coaching can close the gap somewhat, but you can never fully replace talent.

You're wrong. Woodson, West Springfield, and Langley have never been that good. They're always in the middle-bottom of the pack. By your logic, Madison and South Lakes should suck too but they've been looking great these past two years. Even Marshall is looking good. The bottom line is that the coaching at Oakton and Chantilly is terrible and needs to change. There's talent there but it's not being put to use. Shit when I was in high school, our varsity head coach would walk the hallways in the Spring to find some big linemen or single sport guys to try and talk into trying out the following season. You, as a coach, have to motive guys to want to come out and play. There's more to being a head coach than Xs and Os

The areas are changing. The reality is the upper middle class that has made places like Chantilly and Oakton competitive in the past have all moved to Loudon County. Centreville, South Lakes, Westfield, Robinson, and those areas have not really been impacted because they have the middle class neighborhoods where you get your blur collar depth players, and they have lower income families where you get your skill. Oakton and Chantilly housing costs are nuts. Living in Franklin Farm and Oak Hill require some cash. Also, a lot of those single family homes have not turned over. Those new families who should be moving in to those areas have moved to Loudon for better prices and land. Just look at the rosters of Broad Run, Stonebridge, ect.
Oakton and Chantilly will continue to be competitive in country club sports and baseball/lax. But both school will be the bottom of the football pool for a long time.

You have plenty of apartments around Greenbrier to get your “skill” players and GB itself has plenty of kids for your “blue collar” players. Quit making excuses. You have had coaching issues for a while and Lalli though not great was able to get the most out of what was there, he was just understaffed.

Bro, Vienna is way more expensive to live in than Chantilly and it has less lower income areas than the Oakton district. Somehow Madison doesn't seem to have a problem getting their "blue collar" and "skill" players. Same goes for South Lake and Marshall. I've seen Oakton and Chantilly play this year and they had plenty of your "skill" players on the team. The fact you're trying to argue that the lower income areas are better because they field more blue collar and skill players is absolutely ridicules. By those standards the top teams in the area should be Edison, Herndon, Annandale, Wakefield, and so on. Yeah those teams had a combined record of 13-27 this year so there goes your narrative. Stop making excuses. Shitty coaching is whats causing the downfall of those two football programs.

Agreed. Centreville's defense has definitely unperformed this year. Too many breakdowns for no explicable reason. They have as much talent as anyone on that side of the ball. More was expected.

Concorde District got shafted this playoffs though. Top 3 teams in 6D and look who they had to play in the first round. Meanwhile South Lakes plays Yorktown and Patriot gets Marshall. That's just wrong.

They have won that awards because of country club sports. They win swimming, tennis, golf, cross country, track, ect. The girls basketball team always dominates. It’s mostly female sports. If you make the playoffs in most sports and then win a few regional finals and a few states it’s easy. GBB, cross country, track, swim/dice and tennis will Win a region almost every year. And in a state title for 1 or 2 and you set. Girl sports run that school.

Last night showed the new playoff system sucks. Marshall has no business making the playoffs in this bracket.
Moving forward Westfield has their toughest test a rematch with Patriot. Lots of scoring the first game this game should be a fun one. I have Patriot with the upset.
The second game is the game of the week - South Lakes vs Madison. This game should be Interesting because they are so opposite. South lakes has not really been tested all season. They lost to centreville because of speed and spying on certain players. Madison split with centreville but needed that last long pass to win. South Lakes is good enough on D to get the win and Madison won’t reapond if South Lakes hits a few quick scores. South Lakes gets the W.

My vote is for Centreville Wildcats. For Haddock to try and draw comparisons at the start of the season from this current team to the ones that made their state title runs is almost blasphemous. Nowhere near them. Who was coaching the defense this season? Horrible! Played so many kids out of position. Why would you put an undersized Soph at d-tackle?

Haddock is so average. He is mediocre. Normal. Pedestrian.
Two years ago, Broad Ran the same play 6 times and the same kid ran for 5 long touchdowns. Last year he lost to a .500 Tuscarora team because he couldn't keep a sophomore quarterback in the pocket. This year he loses to John Champe by two touchdowns. The dude would be a bottom feeder if he played in Loudoun. He is lucky he gets to beat up on the "changing demographics" schools or his record would be shit. He will still probably put his team in Washington Post Top Twenty with three losses! Dude comes in 5th place if he played this year in Loudoun's 5A.

Been saying the same thing about Haddock for years. Unless he has the D1 talent he can’t win. Anyone can win when you have horses. He is the same guy that was bad at Chantilly and Fairfax. If he was at any other school than C’cille he would be nothing special. He lost his best assistant coaches a few years ago due to his ego.

Gee that's funny, that's the same thing Oscar Smith thought the past two seasons. Decent coaching and individual athleticism doesn't beat an extremely well coached team that plays hard, disciplined, power football.

I only hope the match-up can take place, would be a great game. The only problem for Westfield is they've got their hands full this week with a talented Patriot team.

That's probably why Westfield's done so well in the post season, they're use to playing quality opponents. No offense but Freedom has played a soft schedule, 3 teams in the regular season with .500 or better records.

Talented Patriot team is not really very good at all. Lost to Colonial Forge by 37 and faced 5 teams with 3 wins or less.

They should get by Patriot, who is just ok.

Their region is actually pretty weak, so maybe they make three final four.

I agree - no chance to stop Freedom or Colonial Forge. Steak ends this year BEFORE championship game.

Great run - tip of the cap- but the luck runs out this month.

Possibly, but the Oscar Smith teams the past two seasons, especially 2015, had far more talent than the current Freedom or Colonial Forge teams. That didn't prevent Westfield from winning, and yes, they were overtime victories but neither should have been.

All I'm saying is that you can't count Westfield out as long as they have that coaching staff. As a whole, they are pretty damn good when it comes to the post season. I'm sure anyone who's followed this school knows this group of players is probably the least talented but plays much better as a team than previous seasons.

Uh huh genius. If Westfield faces Forge it will be in the finals. Also FREEDOM has played SEVEN teams with 3 wins or less. Leave the analyis to those that know.

And Patriot played Colonial Forge with a freshman QB playing first ever high school game. Sonnenberg, Onwuka and Giwa are actually pretty talented kids. They have a legit shot at beating Westfield.

Man your reading comprehension is piss poor. Think the previous poster was pointing out that Patriots backs names although may read/sound Asian, they are in fact of African descent and he was challenging you to come down to Freedom so he can kick your ass. Maybe you can put down your crayons and stop sucking your moms teet and take him up on that offer.

Don't think that was true, better find out the facts before you start talking.

On another note, how are these PWC schools getting away with complete murder in the recruiting that's going on at these schools? How are other schools supposed to compete with recruiting?

Referring to the PWC schools and recruiting. I think it's a shame that these schools have the ability to go outside of their schools and pick athletes to build championship caliber teams. I know there are schools in Fairfax that do the same thing, but being able to put all-star talent on the same team is basically unfair and wrong to the sport. If you can't win with the kids that are supposed to go to your school, then you simply can't win.

If that's the case allow FCPS schools to have the same rules and let the games begin. Better coaching in FCPS, just can't recruit and that's the difference. If Woodbridge, Freedom (PW), or Hylton win a state title this year, they really need to look into why.

How is what is going on in PWC is any different than Loudon? In Loudon you can change school and provide your own transportation. PWC you can apply to the school specialty.

There are many others FFX school recruiting too. They either use fake address, rent apartments or a room (whatever provides the documentation needed).

It doesn’t matter whether it’s happening in FFX, PWC, or LC, it’s the wrong approach for HS athletics. Any coach who has communication with a player who is not currently attending his school should be punished severely. If a family moves to get to a better program that is their choice, but any coach who has discussions with the player or family before a kid is enrolled should be suspended for a least one year. I always feel bad for the kids who get put on the bench when the HS coach recruits over them. I think it undermines what HS sports are supposed to be about.
If the VHSL wanted to stop it they could quickly. All it takes is a few punishments and coaches would be scared of losing their jobs. Some states are very active in tracking down recruiting issues, Virginia is not.

Many schools recruit in Fairfax it just depends on where your looking. Centreville recruits for example. Oakton, back before Rowley and redistricting destroyed their program also used to have kids conveniently move in to the area to come and play for them. Perhaps the biggest school for recruiting is Madison H.S. Although it's much less prevalent in football, their baseball program is an absolute fraud year in and year out. The dirty recruiting practices that take place over there are well known throughout the area and I believe either 4 or 5 of their starters last year were not zoned to go there. It's a damn shame. Too bad Madison baseball can't win the big games, despite their cheating.
It also happens over in LC with SBHS. I wouldn't be shocked if they lost again.

While I appreciate you intent here, I think it is wrong to completely cut off players and their parents from coaches unless they are enrolled in that school. I know of a kid a few years back who's dad was military. The kid went to a different HS every year. He wasn't going to play in college, but was good enough to play HS football. When his parents started calling around to find a place where he might have chance to play his Sr. year, most coaches wouldn't even call them back because of this stupid rule. So that just screws a kid because of his fathers job. Is that fair or right? Of course not. What about situations where a kid has no chance of playing, for various reasons. Is that kid just supposed to happily sit the bench because he has the misfortune of playing behind a D1 kid, or is an inch too short, or the coach has known another kids family for years and has already, perhaps subconsciously, name the other kid a starter? All of you who say "HS coaches just put the best players on the field" either don't actually watch the games, have no ability to judge talent, or are the kids who played while better kids sat the bench. If you go to any local games, you see it all the time. Yes, some coaches are better than others at judging talent, but the coaches are human. They sometimes focus in on the wrong things. Although coaches should not be allowed to search out other kids, it is wrong to not allow kids to go seek out coaches for options. This is a rule designed to help lazy coaches keep kids at their school. It serves no other purpose, and is unjust to the kids.

Did anyone other than me notice the nasty, targeted playing done by some teams this year? Film and pictures show some really horrible facemasks that took weeks to get over plus there are broken bones and torn ACLs and such that were done to others. I question "it's just part of the game" when the best players are skimmed off the top because of injuries caused by teams going after great athletes. Play like that and live with it. Not my kid. Clean playing for us.

Oh, and I agree. Coach Doc and his staff are all that. If your kid isn't playing for them, I suggest you up and MOVE into Braddock territory. He's the real deal and the kids are on board now that they're done licking their wounds about change. It's all good and it's even GREAT. 1 2 3 FAMILY

Recruiting is happening in all the counties. But it is really showing in Eastern PWC this year. It's funny how they use parents and players to do the recruiting. Heck, the Freedom Coach runs a passing league that is a recruiting factory. Somebody said it in the earlier post, the big three in PWC are the biggest violators.

But ver rarely does a high school have teams with very few weaknesses without some sort of minor or major recruiting.

Then it will be back to Doc sucks and his whole staff including the DSA need to lose weight.

I will say it again, Doc inherited a loaded team the only team he has beaten is SoCO and they had a down year. The rest of the teams he should have crushed.
His staff hasn't proved anything, lets see how they do when they have to develop the talent.

I think this situation is a little different being that the kid comes from a military family and really can live or go to whatever schools they want. If the parents have the means to move a kid into an area so he can play football there so be it, but when coaches are actively running "camps" and "leagues" to recruit to notch players something has to be done.

The PWC schools are just recently entering the game, but the fact that three of them are in the region playoffs still definitely raises some questions. How does one go about figuring out these rules and regulations so we can make sure HS football stays competitive and honor the process of working hard and building players up, not recruiting all-star teams so we can win state championships. It's really just plain wrong!

This is wrong and if they win a state championship this year, it will cause lots of problems in this state athletically. Cheating to win should be punished, and PWC, LC, and some FCPS's should be punished for it. If a kid moves to an area okay, but coaches working camps and leagues to recruit players is sending the wrong message, and HS programs that are doing it right are going to suffer.

The state needs to get involved if a PWC school wins a state championship this year. It's hard to compete with recruiting.

How does Westfield keep winning these games?! This years team looks so much less talented than the last two seasons but they are twelve and no. South Lakes better take them out because they just aren't that good. Worst 12-0 team ever.

Coach Doc cant beat the good teams, that's been his MO for years.

This team was expected to contend for a state title or at least a deep run in the playoffs. This was a loaded LB team with 6-7 starters returning on offense and defense, including a very good returning QB and receivers and he still couldn't win with them. Next years team will not be as good talent wise, so look for a few down years for LB.I don't see this staff developing players very well.

These were good student athletes before doc got there, so talk all you want about how they are a family, doc did this and doc did that and all that non sense, if you don't win, no one cares about all that.

I'd rather walk away tonight than play dirty and rough like Woodbridge did tonight. Thugs aren't athletes. Well done, Coach Doc! You took a motley group of people and made them into men of character and class. Eight in a row after pulling these boys together in spite of themselves was no easy task.

Add in all that's happened at LB this week and CRAP! the coaching staff is really quite talented in keeping these boys focused!

Well done, Lake Braddock and Coach Doc!

I've been to Fairfax HS games for 30 years, the Woodbridge vs LB refs were the worst I have ever seen. Woodbridge held on the line repeatedly, their defense arm barred recievers right in front of refs, not once called. Dirty after the play stuff again right in front refs, nothing. Braddock had 3 chop block flags on pass plays LOL. Woodbridge Did Enough to win the game, but wow, refs were awful. My only complaint, LB receivers need to use two hands to catch balls and run their routes full speed all the way to the ball. This team does not have the talent they have had in the past. Whoever said they should be state contender are taking too many "trips" from colorado. The kids worked hard and so did the staff.

Yes I am, if I didn't, it would be an insult to the the previous players from previous years. Only game I will give you from previous staff is West Potomac. Darcy had some great passes last night, but he threw 2 crucial pics, and missed so many wide open recievers. He did however break the Virginia completion record for season. Coaches don't throw pics, and don't miss wide open recievers. LB lost their middle linebacker due to injury. 3rd quarter, 3rd TD came right up the middle

Much less talented? Eugene Asante is the most talented running back Westfield has had in a while, and Noah Kim might be the most talented QB that isn't a Glennon that they've ever had. They have 4 receivers that are getting serious play time for the first time this year and these guys have been great and will be even better next year. O-Line is big as usual and probably one of the best in the state. Defensive line is great, linebackers are loaded, and secondary is loaded, and special teams is not as great as it used to be but it is definitely a solid unit. Taylor Morin might be the best 2 way player in the state. This has always been a very talented team but it's the most inexperienced one we've seen in a long time for Westfield. They might not win states, and they might not even beat South Lakes, but to call them talentless is a big mistake.

Agreed on the RB. Kim is too erratic and throws up passes that, without the talented receivers of WF, would be prime pick targets. But he's still a sophomore and will be killer the next two years. Son played with him in SYA. He's got all the talent, just needs a bit more experience.

Westfield will win or lose with defense this year. Last night, their D was great. They made Patriot look like a practice squad.

This was a loaded team and this coaching staff did nothing with it. They had 8 wins this year all over teams they should have crushed and didn't btw. They had no signature wins this year to hang their hat on.

Talk all you want about family and good reputation, all that was there in the past, so this staff did nothing new. I know I played with them

Muddy mess of a field at Hoodbridge. Too much going on at Braddock for anyone to function this week. Press and protests going on and a beloved teacher wronged. Injuries that ended the season and for several who were on the verge of returning but not quite. Add in shitty refs and away game in the freezing cold and Braddock was no match for the thugs they played. Cheerleaders didn't cheer, parents did. Minimal band so there was little crowd support. Add that up and no one could get the timing right under all those conditions. Stop dissing my team and appreciate them for doing amazing things! So they lost. Many teams didn't play at all after the season was over. Bruins are FAMILY.

Question for LB fans: What is your coaching staffs plans for the next time they run into a PWC school in the playoffs? Those schools will always have better athletes and be able to play man to man coverage and blitz you to death. The lack of a running game and any misdirection gives them issues against those teams. They can win the district that way but difficult to beat the hylton, freedom, Woodbridge type teams st their own game.

Westfield is playing together as a team as well as they ever have. Sometimes it is almost better to not have as many next level prima donnas. Morin has had an amazing season but I would vote that Cockrill is a better two-way player. His performance versus Centreville was probably the best game any Westfield player has had this season.

So proud of LB football and the season that they had, 8 straight wins and so many highlights to last a lifetime.

This staff did a great job in rebuilding a program that was a total mess.
They fought through injuries, adversity to become one of the top teams in the area. More importantly, they became a family, something that was missing in the years past. They had a record number of all conference players on offense and defense as well as the player of the year on Offense and Defense and conference coach of the year. This truly was a family

As the seniors go on to other things, knowing that they were the start of something big at LB. The underclassmen will begin to work towards another successful season.

My son played for coach Doc all season and got serious playing time. He loved Coach doc. Yes this team was loaded and it was a damn shame they didn’t do more with it, but the truth of it was that without the offensive line they’ve had in years past, and a stud RB (too 2 guys got hurt) it wasn’t gonna be easy to run the ball at all. I think to be honest, next year will have similar results. But I’m okay with it. 9-3 next season, back to back conference champs, and at least a playoff win if not more. The staff will have a full offseason and that will make a difference next year.

Rounding out top 3 would be Mt Vernon, early interviews he was bragging about how his offense scores too fast and too many points, how’d that work out for you when you weren’t playing crappy teams from Arlington...?

Then there is CVHS, Haddock boasting in the preseason how this team was as good as his state title contending teams. Really? Which part? Those teams didn’t lose 3 games during the regular season.

South Lakes doesn't show up to play. Blames it on 'bus problems'. The team is found later Friday night eating at IHOP and high-fiving that they didn't lose to Westfield. Westfield is given state title by default after Hylton and Woodbridge players pull guns on the field and kill each other off and Oscar Smith's coach holds a press conference saying only, 'No Mas' before walking off the podium clutching a picture of Coach Simmons in one hand and a bottle of Jack Daniels in the other.

They've played 6 teams in the regular season with losing records, including 4 who have a combined 6 wins. Their stats look impressive on yards, scoring and defense, but they've been playing a lot of patsies. The Bulldogs are going the be the best team they've faced by far this season.

MHS lack of inside power running game combined with some bad play calling (coach had the big game jitters/nerves)did them in, eventually that will wear out the defense. MHS will fall back to the pack next year and don’t be surprised if Oakton & Chantilly beat them.

Madison beat Centreville straight up in a playoff slugfest. South Lakes scored exactly 25 more points against Madison than Westfield did. Better offense and defenses about the same. It's going to be a long day for the Dogs. We all saw what Chantilly yes Chantilly did when they deicided to run on Westfield. Two 9 minute drives by an 0-10 team on the Dogs. They can't stop a determined run and South Lakes is 10X the team Chantilly was.

When Westfield played Madison the Bulldogs fumbled at Madison's 1 yeard line. It wasn't really a fumble since the TE's knee was down but that's what the refs called. Then with less than 2 minutes left WF was inside Madison's 15 with 4th and 1, they got cute and ran a pitch, lost yardage. It was 10-6 but make no mistake, WF should have put more points on the board.

South Lakes is small on both sides of the line of scrimmage, WF is not. South Lakes had the size last year at OL and still couldn't do much. The offense of WF is just as potent as South Lakes, the Bulldogs defense is better than the Seahawks.

As the previous poster suggested, South Lakes schedule has been very soft, they have not faced a team as good or complete as Westfield. The closest would have been Centreville, how'd that go for them?

Everyone's been wishing for Westfield to stumble, maybe they do this week. But since this is their 7th Region appearance I think it will take a perfect game by South Lakes and miscues by Westfield for the Seahawks to win.

Oh yeah, Chantilly scored a total of 7 points, that's it. Westfield can stop the run, so don't think they can't. Just look at what they did to Centreville and Patriot, both whom have a tremendous run game.

South Lakes broke out some new offensive guys against Madison, and they were impressive. Madison outperformed their talent level all year, nice coaching job-but once they punched in the mouth on Friday you could see they weren't coming back. For SLHS, Dagbe has been excellent on defense, betting they use him more offensively this week. Alston is really good as a receiver, and a good running back, Mensah is a beast inside, and Miles is a plus QB who has good wheels and instincts (nobody seemed to notice that he went 19/23 last week and has been good all year) The problem against WF is going to be the line play and covering quality receivers. Defensively I just don't think they can keep up with Westfield's offense. Westfield has a quality QB, good and sizable receivers and they will have time to dissect the defense. South Lakes plays a few guys both ways, and will likely do more of that this week. Against a big, pounding team I think that will come back to haunt them late. Westfield in a close game. I don't know shit about the other game, but I'll take Woodbridge by 2 touchdowns based on the numbers.

Being a program where good players want to play is not recruiting. Madison baseball is a great program, it produces quality players, and they play quality opponents. That kids want to play there and families move to be in that district is a compliment. South Lakes players routinely gamed the system to get to South Lakes when their own program was in disarray--good for themm. The kids from South Lakes no longer figure out how to get to Madison now that they have their own good program. (Run by a Madison alum BTW) You are talking out of your ass unless you have some proof. So back up your words with more than sour grape rumors or stop maligning good teachers and coaches who run an excellent program.

Exactly! WF was giving up yards for time. They had the game already won in a blowout and figured if the idiots on the other side of the ball want to run off 8 minute drives 3 or 4 yards at a time, it just shortens the clock stoppages and gets everyone off the field. WF shut Chantilly completely down on offense in the first half before they got 40 points ahead.

True, but speaking for many of us we watch film/Hudl, so we have a good grasp of what we're talking about.

Two very skilled teams going against each other, should be a great game, hell, even mother nature appears to be shinning on us for Saturday!

Saying SL had a weak schedule is just stating the facts. No one is blaming them for playing a bunch of patsies and winning against them. SL has speed and is a good team. But their players are smaller than Westfield's and Simmons is, hands down, the best coach in the region and one of the best in Va. Advantage WF.

The same could be said about WF and Oscar Smith. WF was smaller and a bit slower than the big boyz from the hood down there, but missed plays by Smith and cagey coaching by Simmons was the difference. That's what will have to happen on Saturday for the Seahawks to win. The Bulldogs will have to have an off game and SL will have to play a great game. It happens all the time so....

But don't count on it.

Finally some commentary that makes sense. I agree that Westfield has to be a slight favorite. But if they muck things up like Madison did they will find out very quickly they have dug themselves a hole they can't get out of. South Lakes is an awesome football team more than capable of pulling off an upset. I am hoping for a great game with some lead changes. These blowouts in regional championship games get kind of old.

Tuscarora 21 Stone Bridge 7 at the half. Coach Thompson up to his usual tricks. Went for it on 4th down his first two possession and failed. Second time inside his own 20. What an ass.

So just like every other year, Westfield got better as the season progressed. Although they didn't seem it the first part of the season, these last few weeks they've definitely been the most dominant team in the state. I was expecting a much closer game against South Lakes, but anyone who was at the game will tell you that Westfield had a couple of fuck ups and the game was more lopsided than the score indicated. They weren't as dominant at the start of the season not due to talent but due to inexperience. They shut down 2 ferocious running backs today and had a decent amount of success against a great defensive team. I might be wrong but if it weren't for a special teams blunder I think this game would've been a shutout.

So, let's hear it! Westfield vs Woodbridge, who wins & why?

Westfield I'd think is likely the favorite, right? Even with all things equal, their coaches ability to game plan and adapt in the second half would give them the edge. And unless there were some key injuries from their game against SL, the Bulldogs should be headed back to Hampton again.

I hope Westfield wins but make no mistake, Woodbridge is very talented. They have a big, fast front 7 on defense, give up less than 10 points a game and help Ricky Slade to 36 yards on 12 carries. Slade is probably one of the best RB's in the state, if not the best. Woodbridge on offense also has a big O-line, all skill players are very fast. This will probably be the best team Westfield has seen all season with the exception of the Dematha scrimmage.

I’ll take in Westfield in a close one. The game will probably be a very low scoring game because both squads have very stout defenses (particularly rush defenses). Westfield will win mainly because of their playoff experience and excellent coaching staff. Woodbridge is a very talented team, but I’m unsure if they can pull of an upset.

P.S. would be nice to see Oscar smith vs Westfield for the third time.

That would be really Great. Those games were real battles & Smith has put in a new Offensive scheme for those 1st & Goal plays they needed in those failed OT tries. I'm sure Westfield would be happy to see Smith without Shon Mitchell playing, too.

Smith is playing the underdog role against Colonial Forge and they have to travel up to Stafford for their game Saturday.

Look at the mess Doc inherited yet he was still able to develop and churn out all these top players. It’s only been 1 season expect more and bigger things after LB has had a chance in his full off season to develop not put out fires and patch things back together.

Right a big mess!

Doc stumbled into a very successful top 5 program in the state and he inherited some very talented players. The above poster was spot on, All of the top players were developed by the previous staff and he still did very little with all that talent.

All this staff did was make excuses about injuries, all the talent graduated, they aren't disciplined enough etc...they did no developing at all. It is what it is....Doc is a cheerleader for the program he has no past record of winning and I don't expect that to change, The program will be mediocre at best under this staff.

The only mess was created by the principal and the athletic director.

Time for a distraction which will light a bit of fire on this thread.

Oscar Smith has just received another top talent transfer THIS WEEK and in time for Saturday's for their game against Colonial Forge!!!

3 of the top 4 players from Western Branch have transferred to O. Smith in 2017. HORACE SAWYER, III, #10 MLB, Dominque Brooks, #17 QB, and NOW BriQuan Harrell, #??, QB, DB, S, ???, ??? have all transferred into the Tiger's program. IF and that's a big IF, this team wins that state title this year, these players would be considered part of the reason they get over the hump in their 3rd straight appearance in the State Tournament!

Oscar Smith gets an unexpected arrival: two-sport star BriQuan Harrell

By Larry Rubama The Virginian-Pilot
Updated CHESAPEAKE

Just days before its biggest game of the year, the Oscar Smith football team got an unexpected arrival. And the Tigers basketball team – in its first week of the season – will benefit, too. BriQuan Harrell, a two-sport star at Western Branch, moved into the Oscar Smith zone and enrolled this week. Harrell, who said he moved for family reasons, practiced with his new teams Thursday, running through football drills before attending an evening basketball practice.

Harrell, a 6-foot-1, 185-pound junior, “is fully eligible right now for anything,” Oscar Smith athletic director Ray Collins said. The Virginia High School League also cleared Harrell. “It is our understanding he has transferred from Western Branch to Oscar Smith based on a physical move,” VHSL spokesman Mike McCall wrote in an email. “If he meets the transfer rule as it appears he has, he is by VHSL rule eligible immediately. There are no provisions for how late in the season a player may be added to a football roster.”

Harrell arrived as Oscar Smith (11-2) prepares for a Class 6 state semifinal against Colonial Forge (12-0) at 2:30 p.m. Saturday in Stafford. At Western Branch, he played football for the first time since middle school. He was the starting quarterback and played defensive back and earned second-team All-Southeastern District honors as an all-purpose player. In basketball, Harrell was second-team All-Tidewater last season after he helped lead the Bruins to their first state tournament appearance.

Harrell’s first day at Oscar Smith was Wednesday, and he is expected to play defensive back Saturday. “I was just focusing on basketball at first, but then when I got here the football coaches started talking to me and asked me if I’d play,” Harrell said. “I thought they were playing at first but they let me get an opportunity, so I’m going to take full advantage of it.”

Harrell’s first basketball game is Tuesday. The Tigers, ironically, play at Western Branch tonight in their season opener, but Harrell will be on the bench.
Harrell said he’s looking forward to football, even though he hasn’t played in four weeks. “It didn’t take long to shake off the rust,” he said. “But I feel good and I feel wanted. ... I’m just glad to be here, honestly.”

When Oscar Smith football coach Scott Johnson learned Harrell was enrolled, he asked about football but didn’t want to press him. “I didn’t know what his thoughts were and I didn’t want to make him uncomfortable,” Johnson said. “So I told him to go home and talk to his parents.” Johnson said he plans to use Harrell as a lock-down cornerback. “Had he been a senior, we wouldn’t have used him,” Johnson said. “But he’s a junior and he’s coming back for us. We’re not asking him to learn something new. Just cover a guy one-on-one.”

Harrell averaged 16.2 points a game last season. The Tigers started this season without last year’s leading scorer, Cam Thomas, who remains at the school but isn’t playing basketball. Harrell “just fell into our lap,” Tigers basketball coach LaVar Griffin said. “He fits right in and the kids are excited to have him. He’s going to help both of programs.”

This is quite simply bullshit. A big fat steaming pile. I can't imagine another state that would allow this to happen. The precedent this sets is an unpleasant thought. It's unethical.

The kid's family moved. Why penalize him over it. As a parent, I wouldn't have done this but we really don't know the circumstances. For all we know the family might have separated.

Also according to the above article, Harrell didn't expect to play football after the move, but when asked by the coach, he took the offer. Y'all seem to to put some sinister motive around this like Smith recruited Harrell just to win tomorrow.

This IS nothing like the Ocean Lakes / Chris Scott soliciting players to transfer in 2015-16.

But I do admit this has added quite the intrigue to the State Tournament! This board will explode if the Tigers win it all against Westfield for the 3rd try!!!

His season was already over, that’s not penalizing the kid. Your logic makes no sense. If that is ok, what’s to stop Woodbridge or Westfields from getting Cobbs then for the next round?

I have to say you are being disingenuous. The kid already played a full season with his Western Branch team. It is hardly penalizing him to not allow him to play for another team in the playoffs. Most states have a waiting period for in season transfer - if they are allowed at all.

Both teams have to get there first. But I can guarantee you there is no way in hell Coach Simmons would pull something like this. He'd sooner lose than screw his players that practiced and played all season and throughout the playoffs. "Thanks for fighting for all season and all three playoff games but you're going to ride the bench in the biggest game of the year because someone better walked in the door today."

I know it's really hard to understand this. So, please read very slowly. Oscar Smith did not recruit any of their transfers, period. Harrell's family MOVED. Any school can accept a student in the same situation. I think the only issue would have been the timing which VHSL confirmed was OK!

For a team to "go out and GET" players, that's IS RECRUITING. Please read this a couple of times before you embarrass yourself AGAIN in your response.

Other than your saying so how would we know? Explain how a recruited transfer would look different than a non-recruited transfer? In both cases they would have to MOVE.

Just because your world is currupt & your heart is soured with envy, doesn't mean that everyone else's is the same. Let's just say that I know enough to tell you that what you accuse them of and their actions are not consistent. Why do you think they had 3 All Tidwater Players transfer out all in the same year, 2016? The TEAM was and IS bigger than any one player.

I'm pretty certain Westfield has similar values. But haters have a bad habit of whollering in their own misery. So, I don't really expect you to understand or believe me.

Your list is not bad, although I have a few questions. Are you ranking teams in order that you think they are, or in how they have performed this season and/or how far they have gotten in the playoffs? Several teams have overachieved and have kept their seasons going, but I would like to rank how I would seed the TOP 16.
Just imagine a 16 team high school playoff!

# 1 Colonial Forge v # 16 Lake Braddock

# 2 Westfield v # 15 Centreville

# 3 Stone Bridge v # 14 Patriot

# 4 Freedom v # 13 Champe

# 5 Woodbridge v # 12 Brooke Point

# 6 South Lakes v # 11 Stafford

# 7 Broad Run v # 10 North Stafford

# 8 Tuscarora v # 9 Hylton

I think the higher seeds would all win, with maybe # 10 North Stafford defeating Broad Run, although Loudoun has all but dominated Stafford County in playoffs over past few years.

Tusky gets by Hylton with superior coaching.

South Lakes has too much speed for Stafford.

Woodbridge much more athletic than Brooke Point... and bigger.

Top 4 seeds roll into Elite Eight.

Forge over Tusky in a close one.

Westfield too big for Broad Run, although BR's athletes make it interesting.

South Lakes not smart enough to stop single wing of Stone Bridge.

Freedom has already walloped Woodbridge.

Forge over Freedom.

Westfields defeats Stone Bridge on a Thompson coaching error.

And Colonial Forge stops Westfield 24-21 in a classic battle down to the wire.

And there you have it.

If, by sandlot football, you mean thug football, then you are correct. Ripping helmets off running backs who were already stopped and cheap shots after the whistle while the refs sat around scratching their nut sacks is the only reason this game was as close as it was.

Also not impressed with the officiating. Seems like every time teams from the north (i.e. Westfield & Stone Bridge) play teams from the south the officiating handicaps the games for the south teams. Blatant and obvious holding repeatedly ignored. Ridiculous pass interference calls made and then the opposite ignored.

If it was this bad on Westfield's home turf I can only imagine how lopsided it will be in Hampton. Again.

Remember this hold from last year that wasn't called? Woodbridge got away with the same crap today. I wonder how many Collins will get away with next week.

Yeah, that was absurd. Shoulda been an unnecessary roughness or an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Instead Westfield's top RB has to sit out the next play because he "lost" his helmet. Insanity.

Complaining about officiating is an exercise is futility. From the other side of the field people see their own missed calls. But the kids have to learned to have short memories because the next play is the most important one. Fans on the other side of the field spot just as many issues but the teams keep playing.

It's BriQuan, not Briquan, and he'll be attending college free of charge while the racist poster is stuck picking up BriQuan's garbage & delivering it to the dump each week!

Next week Westfield has the opportunity to 3peat vs Smith who is a team that has NEVER beat Westfield. What I want to know is if any issues with Injuries or ejections occurred yesterday against Woodbridge. Those are the things which could affect the outcome of the game in Hampton!

There were no ejections or anything even close in the Westfield Woodbridge game. People are exaggerating the type of play. It was just hard hitting football.

Not aware of any significant injuries for Westfield. Just bumps and bruises. There were lot of kids on both teams that were getting dinged up in the second half.

Unfortunately, Woodbridge lineman Chibueze appeared to suffer a serious knee/leg injury in the second half. Hope he is OK.

Dirty little secret.... SAT score, GPA have very little to do with over success in life or your career. A person's ability to persevere are more valuable in the long run. But don't worry, Briquan nor his trash cans are worried about your racism. Fortunately it's not a disqualifier for your future job.

No. The officiating sucked. I was there. HS Football 2017 wasn't. The fumble recovery for a touchdown that was called back was blatant. There were missed calls on both sides, but the critical calls all went against WF, including that fumble TD called back and the interception where the Hoodbridge player took the ball from the WF d-back after the play was over and the refs gave it to Hoodbridge.

The game seemed to go south for Hoodbridge when that big-ass lineman went down. That was a key turning point.

LOL. How many high school football stars that can barely read are successful in life? If you take out the ones that make it to the NFL (about 0.0001%), maybe 1000 total - usually because their mommy hit a lottery or sued someone.

Dirty little fact.... SAT scores, GPA demonstrate what you've learned over your 12 years in school and you ability to apply yourself to something important - and football isn't that important for 99% of the kids who play it in HS.

Officiating is what it is. I grant you the fumble TD and the pick were odd calls and when I watch the game at home they both appear to be the wrong decision.

Westfield was leading when Chibueze got hurt and I thought they had already seized control of the game by then. Didn't help Woodbridge but I don't think it changed the outcome of the game. So we disagree there.

I wonder how many of these posts are by Jim Poythress himself...

and poythress has always called students fags and retards in his class. they had to remove him from his job as a psych teacher because he was giving students the answers to exams and spent most of the class trying to impress his football players by bragging about how much weed he used to smoke. its all pretty sad actually, but im not surprised that a bunch of adults who still follow HS sports and drama think he's a good guy. when he talks to his players and students he puts on an ebonic affectation like hes jamie kennedy in malibu's most wanted. he's a turd.

In weight training class a few years ago, Poythress stood behind a girl from the basketball team and mouthed over and over, "bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch." He looked like a middle schooler with his tidy whities in a wad. Very embarrassed for him.

I wonder how many of these posts are by Jim Poythress himself...

Right a big mess!

Doc stumbled into a very successful top 5 program in the state and he inherited some very talented players. The above poster was spot on, All of the top players were developed by the previous staff and he still did very little with all that talent.

All this staff did was make excuses about injuries, all the talent graduated, they aren't disciplined enough etc...they did no developing at all. It is what it is....Doc is a cheerleader for the program he has no past record of winning and I don't expect that to change, The program will be mediocre at best under this staff.

The only mess was created by the principal and the athletic director.

Yes, the play where Hinton intercepted the ball and then the WB receiver got his hands on it was a blown call. Hinton had control and was down but they did not blow the play dead. It happens. If you are referring to the fumble return TD off of the fumble that occurred right in front of the Woodbridge bench that was picked up (by Hinton, I think), the call was correct. The Woodbridge player did fumble, but the ball rolled to the sideline and was on the line. The ball was out, last touched by a Woodbridge player, Woodbridge ball.

I am not a Westfield fan, or have any bias towards their program at all. I am a coach in the northern region. I have to say, I am really impressed with what they've done over the past three years. Kids, coaches, and administration at that school seem to all be on the same level, and I am sure that is a huge part of why they are so successful. As I watched the last couple games at Westfield during the playoffs I couldn't help but get a sense that "this program has it all together, top to bottom." I see administrators working hard to be a vital part in the programs success, kids playing fundamentally sound tough football, and coaches working their tails off to make sure their kids adjust so all they have to do is worry about playing hard.

It's easy on these threads to bash a successful school and program, but this post is to focus on the positive this program has brought to the northern region, and how I am completely impressed with the current state of their program. As you walk into the stadium you're greeted by people with smiles, making your entrance non-confrontational and easy. Once you get in all you see if the football stadium and the people around it, very intimidating for opposing teams and fans. You hear an announcer talking football and that's it, nothing about anything other than Westfield football. The team comes out and they have a stigma of togetherness, not person above the other. Coaches focused on their kids coming onto the field and being happy for the moment, it's great stuff.

As the game goes on, you see kids play hard, never (or rarely) get down throughout the course of a game. The coaches work hard, the chain crew is engaged, the fans know when to cheer, and when to cheer louder. There are very littler interruptions throughout the process, and that's what I think strikes me the most. Interruptions destroy the process, they don't let that happen. Of course there are going to be haters, but understand that this post has nothing to do with hate, but all to do with respect. Congrats on a third trip to the state championship, and know that your programs success continues to aggravate and push every competitive team in the region to get to your level. Good luck on Saturday!

I did not see the game this weekend, but have seen quite a bit of HS football games over the past few years.I have about 15 years experience officiating HS football in Oklahoma and Texas, and a few years doing lower level college ball JC and NAIA) in Oklahoma and Kansas. So I have a little experience when it comes to officiating games. When my job started moving me around pretty regularly, I stopped calling games, but still go to quite a bit, and feel pretty comfortable talking about officiating levels across the country.

All of that being said, I feel very comfortable saying HS officiating in Northern Virginia is probably the worst in the country. It is undoubtedly the worst in any metro area in the country.

The problems are too numerous to get into, and I'm not sure exactly why it has gotten so bad, but it is really terrible. I've been told by a few the beginning of the problem lies with the guy who controls the NOVA association. Which makes sense, but the problems are so bad it's more than a one person overhaul.

So while some teams and fans may feel like they are "being cheated", it is very rare, an official makes a call or calls to purposely influence a game. It is mostly just poor officiating by guys who are trying their best, but do not know any better. I'm not sure what kind of training the guys around here get, but it could certainly stand to be improved on.

Come ON, REALLY!! An official complaining about how poor his peers are? I call BS. You can't even state a rule & explain the common errors you've witnessed? Your training is supposed to help you get into position to better see the area under your perview. But you again have ZERO examples of how this is happening?

You better try again because you failed this assignment. After you half ass your homework tonight, you should try again!

I have a feeling Westfield and coach Simmons will react differently than the Colonial Forge Coach, Brown to the Smith transfer. The Forge became distracted and off their focus. After reading the below, linked article, it seems like Coach Brown didn't notice or realize that after Smith made a QB change, the Eagles only made 1 defensive stop. Or that the Smith D Line took over the game? Or that a makable 37 yd field goal at the end of the game became 53 yards (& missed) because Smith had taken over the game. Same thing happened last year. Even though that winning pass was with only 23 seconds left, Smith had taken over the game & Forge was completely on their heels.

Westfield will approach the Game the way they always Do, Win, Lose or Draw. They will be prepared to play 4 qtr's and more if necessary. Let us hope for a competitive contest where all participants walk away Healthy. These two Teams have represented themselves Well the last Few Years!

I agree 100%!!! There is a reason these 2 teams have met 3 years in a row! Until a school builds a PROGRAM to compare to what Westfield & Smith have, it could be that they'll meet again in 2018!!!!

Forge's Coach Brown had his team thinking that they had SMITH beat up until the last 23 seconds of last year's semifinal game, too. However, Smith had taken over both OL & DL completely the last half of the 4th quarter. The outcome was inevitable simply because Forge had nothing left to give. Last Saturday, despite the game going to OT, there was little doubt about who was still putting out 100%.

To be very honest, the Triple OT game in Charlottesville, Westfield had worn out Smith in the same way. It was only through pure determination that the OT lasted as long as it did!!!

Looking forward to another battle between these 2 teams.

BTW, the weather could be horrific Saturday with Possible Snow, Sleet, or freezing rain starting Friday evening & lasting through until mid afternoon. IF Westfield comes down Friday Night, they will be getting into the area just as things are getting bad. Bad for traffic & the lack of VDOT's inability to handle frozen precipitation!

All the hubbub aside, allowing this kid to play under those circumstances is a travesty of everything the VHSL claims it stands for. "Good sportsmanship involves competing with integrity and a sense of fair play."

Yeah right. Allowing a post-season transfer defies common sense and fair play.

Thanks for the post. As one of several Westfield supporters who has volunteered over the years, this observation is spot on. The Booster Club and others put a huge effort into Gameday experience, including making sure their is an atmosphere as described above when you come to the stadium. Concessions are first class, they have fresh cut fries!!, volunteers are plentiful and friendly. Crowds turn out and support the team. Best place to watch a game in the region!! GO BULLDOGS!!

WTF are you whining about? WF is hated the way the New England Football Patriots are hated. When you're the king of the hill, the rest of the pretenders snip and whine. Like Belichick, Coach Simmons expects 100% and gives the team a good chance of winning every week. Like Brady, Kim sees what the defense is doing before the do it.

Don't be a hater or you'll regret it later.

Yeah Lake Braddock would’ve beaten WHS this year. I’d imagine with the tough schedule WHS had this past season he would’ve gone 4-6 maybe 5-5 and no post-season.

It’s idiots like you that resent WF because of their success, not how things are run. There’s no rule about how many assistants or ex-head coaches a team can have. Also, WF suspended all players based on FFX County rules in the case you’re referring to. That’s why the players were allowed to participate in the post season, the kids in question served the 30 day mandated suspensions. So, next time you want to bash the WF program make sure your facts are straight. Otherwise you come off as a sore sport.

Quite true. That team is not nearly as big as some years. In the playoffs Patriot and Woodbridge significantly out-sized them. Battlefield was probably the same. South Lakes the only team that was smaller.

LB loses their QB (who was pretty good) and the next guy up has a noodle arm. You’ll be 6-4 maybe 7-3 if you’re lucky.

Westfields returns all of the starting RB, WR’s & QB’s, from a team that made states, that is rare and scary for the rest of the North region.

When will you Loudoun County fans ever learn to just keep your mouths shut until you actually win a big game? Another year of having to listen to LoCo fans trashing Westfield (and Fairfax County) football.

And yet another year of EPIC FAILURE on the part of Loudoun County football at states. 10 consecutive seasons now a LoCo team has lost the Class 5 state championship game.

In the meantime Westfield wins an unprecedented THIRD consecutive state championship. Westfield and Centreville have won 4 of the last 5 state titles in Class 6. LoCo football sucks by comparison.

It's so nice to see how well respected the Westfield Football program is on the FFU website.

To achieve 3 straight state titles is an accomplishment that any program would love to boast. Kudos to the team and their victory in a year when they were not supposed to make it out of the playoffs.

Everyone of the haters talks about cheating, but nobody provides any evidence other than their IMO. The talent is not comparable to some other teams, but they came prepared every game and put in the effort to be ready.

Coaching and a team willing to be coached, something that LB would love to have but never will.

So stop whining and hating, help your school get the attitude and coaches that will make a difference, no matter what the talent level is on the team.

If DOC wants to get a title, he should become an assistant on the WF staff!

There is one head coach and several assistants, like every other school. They are paid as assistants as well. No one was complaining when the Chantilly coach left.

Name a HS that doesn't have drinking parties

Name a HS that doesn't have a-hole students among their student body

I am not smart enough to understand what sycophantic means but the parents at Westfield are no different than C'Ville, Chantilly, Oakton, etc....

So please, enlighten me on the cheating? I am waiting.

Loudoun's problem is they only know how to play one style of football and they build their teams to beat each other. Once they beat their cross-town rival they think their work is done. They can't get it up for one more big game. And they can't play defense in the playoffs.

Been around high school football for a long time, and no - not a coach. I also don't have a horse in the race when it comes to Loudoun v Fairfax football. I have seen all of the top teams in person over the past 10 years, many times over.

But I did want to share some unbiased information that I thought some would find interesting.

There are a great many reasons why Loudoun hasn't won any Class 5 football
championships in last 10-15 years. And there are also reasons why Westfield has won three in a row. Here are but a few...

1. Broad Run (08 and 09) and Briar Woods (10, 11, and 12) won Class 4 titles
so they weren't even in Class 5 until recently. Tuscarora wasn't placed
in 5A until 2013.

2. Two of the most important reasons are... Phoebus and Highland Springs.
You can say what you will, but those two programs are fantastic.

3. Mickey Thompson Factor. This fact is true. His arrogance has cost him dearly
but never worse than last year when Stone Bridge was up 14-0 in the 2nd
quarter and he went for it on 4th and 7 from his own 23. Everyone that was
at that game knew Highlanders were just about ready to quit when he gave
them the ball on SB 25 after a draw was stuffed on 4th down! And this year,
he has an undefeated team that could have won it all, but he goes 2 for 7
(Yes, 2 for 7!) on 4th downs and loses to Tuscarora by one. He chokes.

4. Simmons and his staff are special. His teams all become markedly better
by the time the playoffs come around. His preparation and game adjustments
are unmatched in the state right now.

5. The top 4 or 5 Loudoun schools have better programs right now than rest of
Fairfax schools, IMO, with the exception of Westfield. They are smaller
schools, but gave Fairfax fits during the last three years.

6. Luck plays a part, and these things are all cyclical. I respect the hell out
of Westfield, but I have spoken to the Westfield staff and they believe
themselves to be very fortunate to have won the two overtime championship
games. And when I say cyclical, I also realize that some programs won titles
but will never be relevant again. Remember, Annandale, Chantilly and
Garfield all won titles in the 90's. Park View in Sterling won in 88.Those
poor schools are an embarrassment these days.

Would be nice if we could have a nice pleasant discussion on high school football without all of the ridiculousness, wouldn't it?

I would love to hear from some others with their opinions.

How Mickey Thompson lost to Tuscarora this year is beyond me! Tuscarora was outplayed by Broad Run, then outplayed by Stone Bridge, then outplayed by Stafford.. and then really OUTPLAYED by Highland Springs. Still, except for Westfield, every Fairfax County team would have finished 4th in Potomac District.

I shouldn't get all worked up, but just seeing the ALL-MET teams named by the Washington Post gets me fired up. Why do they love Maryland so much? I am sick and tired of hearing how great Damascus is. Who do they play? They are a small school that would get ripped by the better teams in Virginia, but WaPo makes them out to be IMG Academy. They take the time to have the kids come in and take photos, publicize it every year, so at least have ONE person who knows what is what. I will give you just one example of how silly they are. Tuscarora makes it to the state championship final. Nice story. Overachievers, etc. Post makes their QB second team QB in entire DMV. The kid is a nice player, but he didn't get 1st or 2nd Team in his own 8-team conference! Virginia high schoo, football is better than Maryland, by and large, and don't get me started on how bad the DC public schools are, yet Post always ranks their top teams and kids.

I am not unbiased.

Broad Run probably should have been in Class 5 not 4 when they were winning their titles. Certainly by 2009.

Tuscarora has lost the Class 5 state title twice. To LC Bird and Highland Springs.

Phoebus/HS. If not for Westfield and Centreville you might be saying the same thing about an Oscar Smith team that very well could have 4 more state titles.

Mickey. His big game record speaks for itself.

Cyclical. So true. The top 4-5 teams in Loudoun were arguably better than most/all in Fairfax. This year. I did not think so last year or the year before. In my opinion. Lake Braddock, South County and Centreville were definitely down this year. Oakton and Chantilly in a tailspin. Who is getting better? Apparently no one. Madison and South Lakes are the only programs that have shown significant improvement over the last couple of years. Is it sustainable?

Westfield. Doing it with smoke and mirrors but you can't argue with the result. This year's team the smallest and least athletic since Simmons took over. 15-0. Don't know how they do it.

WHS- if you look at their numbers they were so balanced on offense. Run and passing yards we’re almost 50-50 same with tds. No.8 was the difference. Way better RB than what they had last year, that offset the dip at the talent at WR. On defense WHS had a Nolan Cockrill no other school in the area had a guy like him. Also no.2 has more int’s than TD receptions 11-8. So to day they did it with smoke and mirrors and they were unathletic is bit of a stretch. Only area where they were really down as compared to last year was in their kicking game and I’m surprised it didn’t come back to bite them in the ass. Oh and no.2 blocked so many pat’s & punts this year it was ridiculous! Simmons showed why he and his staff are the best at what they do.

Agree, 2nd team QB selection is bit of a head scratcher. Also they select SL kid for 1st team safety but write about his offensive exploits...which category you selecting him for? WHS no.8 had 11 ints this season and a ring and he gets only a HM, WTF! Whoever comes up with this they are clueless.

Seriously though, what did happen to Stone Bridge this season. They looked like one of the most complete and dominant football teams I've seen in quite a few years. But they seem to have got weaker as the season went on. Did they fall in love with throwing to Thompson too much? Against Tusky that seemed to be their entire game plan.

Stone Bridge got out of the gates very quickly, defeating Braddock in week 3 (46-13), Madison in week 4 (35-10), and Champe in week 5 (59-28). They put up 59 against the team that smacked Centreville around 35-21 a couple of weeks prior.

They did miss Bradley Block, but he was pretty much hurt all year. Could have used him against Tuscarora for sure.

They really have a gimmicky offense, and their conference rivals keep them pretty much in check - those games are usually close. Madison seemed to have learned from playing them a couple of years in a row, but did get manhandled this year.

Thompson (TE) is no relation but absolutely torched Tuscarora in the playoff game. Broad Run had completely shuit down Thompson in their matchup, but they were able to grind it out cslowly but surely. I found their OL weaker than in year's past and Tusky decided to try and shut down the run, which they pretty much did.

Finally, they lost because Mickey did what Mickey does. I am all for going for it on 4th when situation calls for it, but dammit, man... punt once in a while. 2 for 7 on 4th down conversions against Tuscarora tells the story of that game right there... and they still almost won. Dude can't get out of his own way.

They lose a TON on defense next year, and Thompson on offense was their main weapon. They will be his weakest team in years next year... unless he is able to pluck another 6 or 7 recruits from dads willing to drink the Kool-Aid.

Oh, and sorry, Doc. Even if they come in 3rd or 4th next year in their conference, they will still have enough to beat the pants off of you and the rest of the best staff in the state.

Because Westfield had 2 turnovers of its own. They also had some shaky play early on by their sophomore QB, as expected, in the biggest game of his career. But after the butterflies subsided their offense was able to get on track.

Please don't downplay a perfect season and a third consecutive class 6A championship due to point spread. Also, did you attend or watch the game, playing OS was like playing a junior college or prep team.

It doesn’t matter whether they won by 1 or by 10000, object of the game is who has more points when the final whistle blows. They don’t get a bigger trophy by winning by more tds.

OS v WHS
QB
OL
WR better hands & downfield blocking
DL. Although WHS has no.97
LB
DB “ “ “”. no.2

That didn’t format correctly.
OS- where they had advantage - OL , DL (although WHS has no.97), LB, DB (although WHS has no.2) and special teams.

WHS had advantage- QB, WR better hands and down field blocking. No.97 he is unstoppable. No.2 kid is great! RB I call it a draw, both teams very good RB’s. And most importantly coaching.

How many TDs should they have won by? What was the official spread? Geeezzzz.

To answer your question Oscar Smith had an outstanding defense and the young Westfield QB probably had his worst game of the entire season. But still made enough big plays to win.

Does it matter? No it’s not. It’s irrelevent. WHS won. Worst game, hard to say when there were some crucial drops. Also the o-line was not doing well in the beginning, so for you to try and insinuate that WHS did not win by a larger margin because of the QB is asinine. They won by enough points and why not leave it at that. Look at the rushing yds by the RB, that is more telling as to what was happening in the first half of the game. Teams win championships, not individuals, teams lose championships, not individuals.

Way off base. Simmonns is a goody-goody compared to most NOVA coaches. How many coaches would hold out a first-team all-region player from the biggest game of the season over a minor "issue"? Virtually no one. Meanwhile other programs are finding ways of recruiting all district players from other teams after the playoffs are already underway.

Loved the way Coach Simmons chastised Oscar Smith for allowing that kid to play. Might be the first time in his entire life he said something controversial but he smoked OS and the VHSL.

He was right of course.

Coach Simmons should worry about why he needs to hire six head coaches (cannot do it himself), why he allows drinking and weed on his team, and why he fosters a pompous, bullshit attitude among students and parents alike over here.

NOT IMPRESSED.

Unbelievable that this individual is not impressed!

3 straight VA State Titles. That should be all that needs to be said about Westfield High School, their Coach, or their student athletes.

This individual obviously is upset that his own team was unable to achieve the same level of dominance as the Bulldogs, and now he is left with nothing but his own anger, frustration, and desire to lash out.

Funnel that cry baby attitude towards something positive for your team. Donate funding and time to the boosters so they too can hire good coaches. Maybe even help to coach, though I doubt that would be a positive action!

At some point another team will rise and be the team to beat. Kudos to WF until that occurs.

Fundraising money cannot be used to pay coaches per FCPS policy. From what I’ve heard Westfield bends the rules there to pay their football staff.
Each school is given a set amount of money by the county to pay Football coaches. No other funds from boosters or athletic departments are allowed to be used on coaching staff. Someone should look into Westfield. They have about 25 coaches when adding up all 3 levels. Also, before I get the volunteer excuse that is not allowed either. All coaches must be paid, no volunteers.

I got to hand it to you. You are relentless. Three fucking long years you have been trolling Westfield under numerous guises. You care more about hating Westfield than Westfielder's care about football.

I think everyone will agree that Lake Braddock will be the main challenger to Westfield this coming year.

Doc and his staff have done a great job getting the program back to the winning ways. When they took this program over, it was a total mess and spiraling downward. It may have taken a little longer to get it turned around then some would have expected, but it is now running very smooth.

You can easily see why he was named "coach of the year" in the conference, it was a total turn around.

Look for big things from the Bruins in 2018

This will be truly, One team one heartbeat!!

Stay tuned Bruins fans

I am relentless because the truth must be heard about Westfield's "clean" program and the sycophantic ways of his robot fans/parents

Cannot wait to go to a game there next year so I too can get some fresh cut fries....

God, you're an idiot, go away, they won, again, and you're still miserable and have no life.

Also, know something about how the programs work before you go spouting off nonsense, you DO NOT have to be a paid coach. The head coach receives a pittance for his job, he then doles out the money as he sees fit for his assistants.

In most cases, assistants are teachers, security officers, or some role at the school. Then as in most programs, their are VOLUNTEERS who work as assistants.

The program has had many assistants in years past that volunteered their time. If you're a coach, hoping for a head coaching job, then you'd want to be part of one of the most successful programs in the state.

Hell, their D coordinator two years ago landed the same position at Bridgewater college. The coach who took his place for one year at WF was then hired at Bridgewater for the D line position.

Being part of successful programs leads to opportunities in the coaching profession, not just at the high school level. That's why they have so many former head coaches, which is 3, not 6.

Once again, know what you're spouting off about or give the laptop to mommy or daddy!
