| Thoughts on Prep Gonzaga tonight? I heard they crushed O'Connell because 22 got some new cleats. Loving the new strategy down on eye street. |
Big win. O'Connell is a powerhouse. |

Thursday Games
Episcopal (VA) 5 - 1 @ 4:30p St Annes-Belfield (VA) 5 - 2. Different games against a like opponent provide the spread. EP +5 Langley (VA) 1 - 1 @ 4:00p DeMatha 2 - 5 Always interesting when a good public takes on a low private. DM -3 St Johns Catholic Prep 1 - 1 @ 4:30p St James 0 - 0 St. James starts the season and has some commits. -3 Gonzaga 1 - 5 @ 7:00p Georgetown Prep 4 - 1 GP just has more and better players. GP -4 Adding on Yorktown @ The Heights PSU attack commit and maybe the most prolific scorer in the area but uncommitted Heights attack. |

GZ over GP tonight on Eye Street in OT
Eagles 9- Hoyas 8 Mayhem |
Ask someone from Philly where the best lacrosse in the country is - they'll be sure to let you know and they may not be wrong |
I'm from Philly, now in DC with one in the IAC and one in the WCAC. Most years, I'd agree generally (though not as obnoxiously - I've been out of Philly too long I guess) that Philly metro has higher quality than the beltway - they tend to play more Canadian, hard hitting style than here, a lot of Philly CYO kids play football, hoops and lax and feed to the Inter-Ac or private Catholic league schools, and overall their top teams are usually better than here. This year, though, I can't say that's true, or it's a lot more mixed. Malvern is just really good as usual, Haverford (my AM and where a few friends' sons play now) isn't as strong as usual but still really good and EA is also looking really strong, but there are really only 3 good Inter-Ac teams this year overall and the rest are pretty average. LaSalle is always good, and Philly suburb publics are damned good, much better than any public in the beltway. BUT I think this season, PVI, Bullis, Landon and GP on any given day can run with any of them, and definitely not routinely get blown out. I also think Zaga is a lot better than their record - they've played a brutal schedule. And StA is surprising - a great goalie will do that. Oddly, SJC isn't a power it seems. Interesting year across the mid atlantic. |
Interesting but erroneous. Prep wins 11-5. |

Gonzaga has little offense.
Hoyas win 10-5 |
STAB 17 EHS 4. |
