List of IAC Champions since 2014: 2014: Georgetown Prep "outright" 2015: Landon "outright" 2016: Bullis "outright" 2017: Landon "outright" 2018: Landon won the regular season, Bullis won the IAC Tournament 2019: Georgetown Prep won the regular season, Bulls won the IAC Tournament 2020: No Season played 2021: TBD I agree with the previous poster... lets see if Bullis can go on a run and win 3-4 IAC Banners in a row before they crown themselves a dynasty. I am going with GP to win it all this Spring if there is a season. Their FOGO will be the difference maker. |

2014 Prep and Landon were tied during the regular season.
Also there as not been a team to win 3 or 4 IAC championships in a row for well over a decade. Just to let you know there have only been 3 teams since 2006 that have won the IAC regular season without a loss AND won the IAC tournament. I find it very interesting that there was a 10 year gap. It is a very difficult to task. 2006 Georgetown Prep 2016 Bullis 2017 Landon |

| You Bullis parents are living in Lala land. A couple of 23s are going to cut it moving forward. Both prep and Landon are sitting 9-10 players deep in the 23-25 classes. No point in arguing over the future, it will reveal itself in the upcoming years. Bullis better enjoy their last year at the too bc we all know it’s downhill from here. Even the Madlax 24 goalie will probably end up at Landon is my bet! |

And another thing-- the last team to win 3 consecutive IAC Championships was Prep 2005, 2006, 2007. Prior to that Landon won every single championship from 1981 - 2002.
Finally over the past 10 years--- IAC Championships. For me--- the IAC Champion is the team that wins the IAC tournament. SSSA 1 2013 Prep 2 2011/2014 Landon 3 2012/2015/2017 Bullis 3 2016/2018/2019 |

If Prep and Landon are 9 - 10 players deep, I am sure some players may start looking to play somewhere else or they possibly could become a distraction for the team. Last time I looked only 10 players compete at a time and maybe 18 - 20 players get in close games, this makes for a bunch of unhappy players and parents. Too much depth presents other problems. Let's see what happens in 2021. |

Yeah people way overrate depth. Bullis is definitely not as deep as Landon, Prep, or Gonzaga. But they have more difference makers. Games mostly won and lost based on the best 7-8 players (so long as the remaining spots are decent) is an uncomfortable but true fact. Additional depth is nice but doesn’t really move the needle in terms of wins.
Some real strong players in the 2023 and 2024 classes for Bullis. They aren’t going anywhere. |

Bullis is the best coaches team in the IAC, Prep is one of the worst coached teams.
As long as Bellistri remains at Bullis, I foresee them being a serious contender |

| Fogo. Goalie. 3 Attack. SSDM. 6 Offensive Middies (Top line will get 80% of the run). 5 Poles. Max you need to win in HS. It isn’t tournaments. They play 1 or 2 games a week. Don’t go sit somewhere for 3 years hoping to play as a senior. |

This is the max, yes. The bench gets real short in the top flight games, so I would say in games between top schools (Landon, Bullis, Prep, Gonzaga, SJC, PVI and any MIAA), only 14 or 15 players would play barring injury. Good point re not a tournament schedule for HS. 1 or 2 games a week allows the rest to occur for the kids. If you are thinking about a school for your child that has 2 grades worth of top flight club players already in place, this is a good data point to keep in mind in terms of lacrosse weighing into the decision to attend. |

It’s seems to me that GP has been underperforming under the current head coach. Am I wrong? I would like to hear opinions as both schools are on my sons radar. |

Prep last won the IAC Championship in 2014 under Coach Giblin. During the past 7 years Prep has has extremely talented players but seem to underperform and come up short. Bullis has won 3 of the past 4 IAC Championships.
Apply to both and be sure to ask to speak with the coach. Good luck |
