    Boys’ soccer Top 10: Unblemished Osbourn leads the way as postseason approaches


    Playoff soccer is right around the corner, and in Northern Virginia there is only one team with a perfect record: the Osbourn Eagles.

    Coach Brandon Calandra’s group is off to a pristine 12-0 start, pounding opponents across Prince William County as it looks to build on last spring’s breakout campaign.

    Across Classes 4, 5 and 6, teams such as Riverside, McLean, Independence and others are sure to also be strong contenders in the state title race.

    District tournaments start in mid-May. After the region play, state quarterfinals begin June 6. Semifinals are June 9, followed by a full slate of championships the next day.
