Agree. Confused by the reaction here. Why wouldn’t those with means put those resources to work helping their kids attend the best academic schools they can to secure their futures?

Of course you would. The point is if you can’t afford the school, you are not going.

But this is about lacrosse and no reasonable person is going to argue that VA has anywhere near the talent at any ‘28 that M&D, Coppermine and Hero’s have. An all star team of the MD team at ‘28 would wipe the floor with the VA kids. So, we’ll see how ‘28 does. My bet is the MD kids will be just fine.

It is about lacrosse, a game many players use to put them on a flight path to attend a great academic school which will set them up for the rest of their lives. To deny this is to misunderstand the very reason why so many play the sport.

That is one reason but for you, it is the only reason. You likely make the game joyless for your 8th grader with your relentless emphasis on college recruiting. Get them to love the game first for the joy of playing and if she has talent, she’ll be fine. The top talent at ‘28 (for the country) is clearly in MD.

If you believe I’m pushing your stated view on my DD, you’re doing the same thing by pushing the rank-is-everything / we’re-better-than-you-at-lacrosse mantra on yours. To this end, should we assume the incessant narrative you push should be held to a higher standard than being a supportive parent, helping them through wins (and yes losses), championing their work in the classroom, encouraging them to be goal-oriented beyond the field, and being selfless in providing every resource we as parents have to set them up for lifelong success? Or is being number one, or three, or five more important than these virtues?

I use the rankings as empirical evidence that at 2028 MD is light years ahead of VA in terms of talent. You imply that Capital historically has better success than MD clubs placing girls at top 20 or Ivies and that recruiting is what this is all about. Since you cannot read between the lines, I will explain to you in basic terms: the overwhelming majority of talent in the area is on MDU, M&D, Hero’s, Coppermine and Crush. All 5 are ranked in the top 10. No VA team is in the top 10 but Pride is sniffing it (at I think, 14th but with no huge standout player). Stars is a non-entity in the high ‘30s. Capital is good at recruiting, they are not miracle workers. ‘28 will not be a good year for Capital recruiting based on all available evidence and MD girls should do much better.

I am just thrilled this has become a MD thread. Guess it was more than 10% of the people who cared. The over wins!

Here's something for everyone:

Baltimore peeps, you have an extremely high concentration of good lacrosse players in your 20 mile radius. No other area of the country can touch you. Congrats!

DC peeps, you have an extremely high concentration of intelligent people in your 20 mile radius. Seven of the ten most educated counties in the US are in the DC area. Cheers to that!

With that in mind, it should not be surprising to anyone that in any given recruiting class you would expect to see more commits from MD than DC, but the ones from DC would be smarter on average than the ones from Baltimore.

Recap. Goal Post shifter has been all over the place today. Defeated on every point, he ends the day conceding MD girls are better at lacrosse but are too dumb to get into college. Not the least but surprised. Cannot wait for the Spring!

You mean VA. There are no DC lax players. Don’t be ashamed of your weak brand.

One more takeaway: the crappy lacrosse players with rich daddys and connections will always trump the hard working more talented MD players from HoCo and its environs. That is what VA thinks of you. A better motivator I cannot imagine.

Late night rapid fire engagement from the MD lax rat dads. Bourbon has finally kicked in.
