Always like looking at these teams. LB had a good year, Rutherford is a good coach and they won the Patriot with 4 stud players. Agree

Robinson won the Concorde district with two stud players ok

Westfield won the Concorde regular season with three.

Mclean and Stonebridge over achieved with one stud player

Yorktown won their league with 4 studs

Centreville came in third with 2 and Oakton 4th with one, makes sense

Can someone explain how Madison won nothing, qualified for nothing with 5 studs. How is that possible?
Although I fully understand the politics that goes into selecting the All-Region team, I would just like to say that I highly doubt some of the players selected from the National District to this team would even START at a lot of the programs in the Patriot,Concorde, and Liberty. Many much more deserving and more talented players were either left off these teams, or delegated to the second team in order to have the "fair" share of players from the National District.
Yorktown just advanced to the second round of regionals behind their #2 pitcher. If Westfield is thinking like Crowhop, I like Yorktown's chances of getting to the 3rd round. Of course, Coach Welch et al are too smart to think like that.
