For those who haven't been following, Ryken got whooped on by bottom feeder programs MSJ and the Heights earlier this March (albeit MSJ did beat Prep by 5 goals a few weeks ago)

The WCAC is wide open this Spring, the clear favorite has to be Gonzaga.

Final 4 will be

Gonzaga
DeMatha
Heights
PVI

It's still April 1, I guess. GZ is 4-5 and just lost to a 2-6 team by fumbling and bumbling for most of the game. If not for the goalie, that's a 5 goal game.

SJC just beat an okay SMR team by 5 goals and btw MSJ was 6-2 in the MIAA last year and are 6-2 overall this year. Also, the Heights lost but will sit at 12-2 when they meet. SJC has a giant hole at fo and that makes them vulnerable.

And a league can't be "wide open" with a "clear favorite."

Speaks can recruit but he cant coach when the talent is just average

Speaks needs the Hawks pipeline and he needs it fast.

MSJ was 2-8 in the MIAA last year.

Scrambled Standings

1. Bullis
Jumps back on top with a quality win over GZ
2. Landon
Bears get an easy win
3. St. John's
Grinding it out
4. Gonzaga
Still a favorite to be in the WCAC finals
5. Georgetown Prep
not convinced they would beat GZ 4 out of 7
6. St. Mary's Ryken
Head to head matters but not when you are 2-6
7. Dematha
Seems about right
8. Episcopal
Quietly accumulating wins
9. Good Counsel
hanging around #4 in WCAC
10. Paul VI
Needs more than 1 win

HM.
The Heights. Pushed out of the top 10 but could earn their way back
Robinson/Langley.

Landon gets easy wins because they schedule a soft schedule.

Top 10 list is totally biased and as a result completely inaccurate….

Landon hasn’t been tested since Benjamin and Saint Andrew’s from Florida.

We know how good they are until they play GZ and Bullis in the same week

Very sloppy game but likely due to it being a rivalry game.

Not much offensive firepower on display tonight folks.

Can't go 0-4 on extra man (with at least 2 emos being 1 minute) and expect to win a close game.

The same could be said of almost any of the top 11 and the rankings reflect right now. Bullis went from 3 to 1. Landon 1 to 2. SJC rises. GZ falls with 2 losses. GP might be high. The WCAC schools can all change with future games but I suspect they will beat each other up.

The top 5 could win out. In the IAC, it's more likely BU, LA or GP win out. In the WCAC, the odds are higher for GZ and SJC, but few should think those 2 are locks to be in the finals.

I dunno. Prolly better off doing 3 team tiers since you can swap out any of the teams in a tier by season’s end. That said the drop off from the top to the remaining tiers is REALLY steep this year, and then you just get weird results when those teams play each other, bc what separates the best from the rest is consistency. Good well coached teams play at a consistently high level, the rest either have talent but shoddy execution (GP) or less/no talent at critical spots. Finally, as the year rolls on, the grind of year-round play starts to show. Bigger issue to me is how bad the teams beyond the first tier are at playing competent lacrosse.
