There’s a clear favorite for the oldest teams battling it out. XF Academy’s team outscored the opposition by a 23-3 margin in the four games at national playoffs. That kind of production is difficult to overlook, and the firepower the team has will be difficult to slow down.

The other sides have that, of course. Preview the eight teams heading to Virginia for the ECNL Boys Under-17 National Finals, which begins on July 17.
