Stiil don’t believe PVI wins 4 out of 10 against GZ.

Neutral observer here: PVI athletically was bigger, faster and stronger than GZ in the live stream I watched a few weeks ago.

I have never thought PVI was well coached so YES I do think GZ would win a few games ver them.

I was at game. PVI did seem bigger and more athletic. But the SJC defense was on point. I know the SJC middies get a lot of love but the attack is who dominated. The freshman who will be a college placekicker is really good. 1 and 9 were forcing it a little bit. SJC looks like they can beat anyone when they are executing but they seem vulnerable on an off day as they seem a little small. Last year Landon almost got them because they couldn't stop the big lefty and it's the same crew of poles.

Not the same close poles and the best one was covering Harvard commit. Landon will have to find another way to score if they play this year.

I could care less if GZ is playing Riverside tomorrow (Gonzaga will win and shut up the public vs private debate)

In all seriousness if the GZ - SJC is not rescheduled, that is an all time low for Casey Oneil

I'm not a GZ booster (far from it), but GZ will crush Riverside. This is not Long Island or upstate NY. There is not a single public school program in the DMV that can beat the top private schools.

Prep should roll through the tourney. Far and away the best team with the most talent. Coaching has been great this year too. Can't wait to see the boys lift that trophy!

Prep is the most talented team. They will cruise to the finals and then choke against Bullis.

Didn't Bullis lose at home on Senior Night to St. Stephen's? That is the definition of choke....and frankly embarrassing after all the self promotion of the Senior Class - 6 "pre-season All Americans" The leading scorer is a Junior transfer. Give me a break!

You know a LOT about the team. Glad they own real estate in your head.

3 and 44 started that game for SJC and no one who graduated was better. Only one new player at close D, all 3 are D1 commits. The Michigan Landon commit is still getting it done despite not getting much help (those 24s will be really good, just not yet). He's a heck of a player. Almost got Prep in the second game and split with Bullis. The Corrigan thing will be fun if the schools are game. I bet GZ bails now that they are no longer top dogs in WCAC. Unfortunately, Prep looks like favorite as they seems to be strong everywhere and have the best FOGO by far. A close SSSAS game became a blowout when it was make it take it in the second half.

That kid actually played JV his sophomore year to keep his eligibility. That's why he was able to play varsity this year. Dosent matter how many years you're in HS, matters that you play only 4 varsity seasons.

Funny listening to Corrigan gush about 33 and 7 on Episcopal as sophomores. My 22 played against both of them for years, including his Freshman year in 2019 when 33 was at Landon and 7 was at SSSAS. Is there an 8 semester rule in the IAC? No way those kids can play their "Senior" year at Episcopal. 7 had a nice game whether you consider him a 22 or 23.

Don't be a jack*** lax dad throwing shade on individual players - no one cares about this history and it is inappropriate.

Re: the game itself, pretty entertaining and competitive into the fourth quarter. Hello, if you give players time and room to set their feet they will beat a zone. Episcopal had problems clearing all day, but they do have more talent than I thought before tuning in for the game - everyone of their goals was legit. Bullis played very physical and was more athletic in space and their goalie stole 2-3 goals.

I just think it’s funny. Corrigan going nuts about 7 being such as savvy player as a sophomore when it’s his 3rd year of HS. I don’t care otherwise. He’s a good player either way. Holding back to pay $50k for a non full ride sport is funny. ROI on that is terrible. At least the 19 year olds playing WCAC hoops and football get full rides. But it’s a free country. Episcopal still sucks, no d at all. I’d take Riverside.

This is number 7s first year of actual varsity lacrosse, dosent matter how long he's been in HS

seems odd to me that some parents are willing to pay 5 years of HS ball to chase a $10 - 20K (at max) scholarship to play D1 lacrosse.

The VA schools in the IAC are notorious for bringing in public school players after their freshman and sophomore seasons and re-classifying them.

Privates in MD can't do this, whether you play JV ball or varsity ball in the state of MD, you are only allowed to play 4 seasons of HS athletics.

If it it the difference between your son doing to a Ivy/NESCAC/Patriot League school and going to VMI, I think it's a worthwhile investment.

They posted 2 parents per player. You think the Gonzaga mob will show up to another school and violate Covid rules?

Rules are changing by the minute.
