A lot of the better talent in VA (at least as of a few years ago) could be
found in 3A / 2A schools. In the larger schools, those athletes are trending more to lacrosse and soccer than softball. Think of the players that came from those classifications just to us. Rochard, Lemley, Davis, Repko, Dail (certainly not an exhaustive list there are plenty more). Also, think about what went to some of the other schools Megan Good (JMU), Millie Thompson (Clemson), Kiersten Roadcap (JMU), Jaylin Ford (JMU). The fact that someone comes from Northern Virginia for softball doesn't necessarily mean they are good. I would say you could field a pretty good team over the years just recruiting Virginia's middle classifications in high school.
