Four out of five look like the norm, but one of them really sticks out. Are they really a top five defense? Or do you play for them?

Honestly I think that Defenses in the state as a whole stepped down a notch or two from last year.

-Sallies, still has kilpatrick, but lost all-american cyron and their other 2 poles.

-Towerhill, lost all-american ashley and another pole that was a strong part of their defense.

-Archmere i think returns the core of its defense judging on the amount of seniors they lost.

Mckean, I cant explain why someone would consider putting mckean in the top 5 defenses considering the let mount score 12 goals on them last year, and only beating sanford by 3, a team that thill, freinds, st A's and tat beat up on last year.

-CR, lost a ton of seniors, i only know that their returning a solid pole, johnson, from year if I remember.

-Friends, lost all 4starting poles.

-Cape, lost a ton of seniors, and the core of its defense from last year

-St. Andrews, lost russell and another pole whos name i cant remember

-Charter, lost zalzivar and Kelly, two key defensive players

-Tatnall- lost 2 of their better poles

Overall its a tough to tell who's defense will stand out this year, i think well see a lot new faces this year defensively, maybe a new wave of younger poles will come in.

no sorry to old to play to buzy to coach. Although they are in a weak conf and they did give up a few goals to MT i still like this defense , Lax power had them top 6 for total defense all year long . With easy wins over appo/WP/caravel/newark last year look out for them this year.

Even though Friends lost all 4 starters, the guys replacing them are not green. The d-poles are actually better stick handlers than the group that graduated... Plus, Max Davis at goalie has tons more experience at the net than the guy they had last year...

Is McKean even a top 5 defense, just counting public schools?

i looked at lax power's data on Mckeans defense over the last 2yrs and also saw them play against dma and wp last year . Solid team overall with above average O and a good D . Granted Brandywine may have a harder schedule as well as Cr and Cape.

 

[Tarzan79]

McKeans opponents overall record last year was 87-136. Its not hard to look good on paper with that schedule. I'm sure the players are good and have worked hard, but to say they are a top 5 defense is not accurate. Yeah they played DMA close last year, but had 12 goals put up on them vs Mt. P and Hodgson Tech. Look at Mt. P's schedule, who ever held them under 10 goals is a safe bet to have a better D. Pro 85 it is good that you are talking up a team that are doing good things.
