    • All of these are scrimmages, so the scores are to be taken with a grain of salt.  In some of these, opposing coaches were still evaluating players who may, or may not, have ended up in their respective varsity teams:

Landon 6 Woodberry Forest (VA) 1

Landon 0 The Hill School (PA) 1 (40 minutes in a round robin format)

Landon 3 J.F.K. H.S.  (MD) 1 (40 minutes in a round robin format)

Cooper Johnson, ’20, leads all scorers on 12 points, with 5 goals, 2 assists.  Kris Fletcher, ’23, has 8 points on 3 goals and 2 assists.  We had a youth movement at the tryout this season, with 7 freshmen going through to the varsity, and possibly an eighth will join us, after he recovers from an injury.
