St. John’s moved Gonzaga game to a park? I guess the shirtless mob will be on display Wed.

Agree on most points. But not sure Landon has what it takes this year. Never seen one of their teams make so many errors and be so bad at clearing. This is one of its worst teams in a long time. Is this a coaching issue?

Bullis baffles me. Should be much more dominant, but there's something with their chemistry that is off. That is why Prep should win it all. The only thing that could get in their way is their own coaching, but this team seems to have good chemistry, plays relaxed and the coaches are letting them play. They lost early to Bullis but it appears that was due to the Bullis goalie playing out of his mind (as he often does). Not sure how Prep blew the lead to Landon and almost lost in their second game, but don't see that happening again. SSSA is a mystery as it often seems to be.

Bordley should come out of retirement and coach for the final 2 weeks of the season. I disagree , I think this is one of the better Landon teams since 2018. Landon head coach doesn't know what he is doing. Its laughable how poorly this team clears and the turnovers they continue to make.

Bullis is a borderline a club team. A bunch of touted Ty Xander stars who don't play particularly well together and lacks serious depth. If it weren't for their goalie, the Bulldogs lose both games to Landon. Bullis goalie is one of the best in the country as well as their defense.

GP will cruise through the IAC tournament and should win their first outright title in several years. Too much depth and very athletic, not to mention an excellent FOGO.

I think the Landon goalie outplayed the Bullis goalie over both games. More saves on what should have been goals by far over the 2 games. Bullis defense and ride were exceptional to offset Landon domination at face off. Will be an entertaining rubber match in playoffs.

The whole league is determined by the Prep fogo. He is the best fogo in 22 class and dominates the league. He gives Prep so many chances on offense that it is almost impossible for the Prep coaches to screw it up. Credit to Prep, they needed a fogo and went out and recruited one....the best one. And that will be the difference maker in the end. Take him away, Landon, Prep, SSSA and Bullis are essentially even (w each team having certain strengths and weaknesses).

Prep lacrosse is the equivalent of SJC FB.
Richmond kid, kid from Canada, and will get more DC 2023 Dogs this summer.
What a joke.

Except Prep is a legitimate boarding school—one of the top ones in the country, for that matter. Prep’s AVERAGE SAT score is 1386, and the FOGO you refer to is going to UVA.

Right. It is a legit boarding school. However, if you are going to claim boarding school as your pass to recruit kids from outside the area, at least make them actually stay in the dorms. Fogo lives w the assistant coach.

Facts. At least pretend they actually board. It seems recruiting is a no-no for everyone but Prep.

Most important player on the team is from Richmond and lives with a Coach. Got it. Maryland version of Friday Night Lights...

if that's the situation, MYOB. kid's parents, coaches and school admins must all know - the school and even his club couldn't be that dumb not to have signed waivers to avoid the liability if anything goes wrong?

Either we all aren't recruiting or we are, per the iAC rules. Prep is no better than Landon or Bullis or SSSA or STA.

SJC will dominate Gonzaga. Shirtless mob might be gone by 3rd quarter.

[Anonymous]

Back in my time at SJC...there was no shirtless mob when we played Gonzaga. They knew better than to do something that stupid. They usually just left and when to Whitehaven to get the kegs ready for us after the game.

[Anonymous]

Whitehaven? No Glover Park, Ft. Bayard, Battery Kemble or 41st Street park?

[Anonymous]

all jokes aside, where is this game being played?

Is it open to the public as I would like to attend with my son.

Thanks!

These are all private schools. Who cares if you recruit within the DMV or outside. This is not like a public school illegally brining a student within its borders. And Prep has more than a hundred students not from the DMV. Give me a break.

Likely rescheduling the game at home since DC is officially lifting all restrictions next week.

I agree, but that’s not what the rules are of the IAC. We gave Bullis a bunch of heat when they did it, correct? Let’s all just be consistent. Again, either everyone can recruit (which I agree with) or nobody can recruit. Don’t be hypocrites. And if you’re going to hide behind the whole boarding school thing, at least make the kids live in the dorms.

From an outsider perspective (former IAC parent here), that is a bogus move pulled by the GZ Athletic director and head lacrosse coach.

If the game was scheduled for this week to be played in a public park, then it should be played this week.
