This was actually settled on the field. Bullis was 1 goal better over two games with Landon.

A further litmus test will be Prep/Bullis 3 on Tuesday. Bullis holds the only win by anyone over Prep but that was week 1.

Bullis played months before game 1 and won by a whisker due to 3 saves on the doorstep - Prep had 1 scrimmage before game 1 and has gotten better each week; Game 3 will not be close, Prep wins big.

Bullis Dad here. We played Spalding in Feb in a scrimmage. Practiced against Gonzaga once teams were practicing. That is it.And Prep goalie has made a few saves too against us. Don't get me wrong, you guys are really good. We have a tough challenge ahead. But to say we practiced for "months" and only our goalie made a few big saves is just not accurate.

Prep’s first scrimmage of any kind was April 1 vs Spalding - the ceiling keeps getting higher each week.

No reason Bullis doesn’t beat Prep. Other than they play stupid penalty filled lacrosse. They take that out of their game and they will win.

Prep will win big on Tuesday

EHS with a big win over PVI in the State finals today. Controlled the game from start to finish. Say what you want about EHS they deserve some credit for their season.

EHS is at the bottom of the IAC with STA. They opted out of IAC playoffs because they knew they would lose badly. Instead they chose to play for the Virginia State Championship because the competition was easier and they wanted to walk away with an easy trophy they could brag about. If they were a real team they would have competed in their league (IAC) playoffs. Their lame trophy and State Championship are meaningless and pretty pathetic. They are still at the bottom of the IAC and not a very good lacrosse team. Sorry.

Chill. It's high school sports.

Or instead of dumping on EHS you could point out how well this reflects on the other teams of the IAC. PVI beat up on mighty GZ, yet the bottom of the IAC just dominated PVI. Who cares what EHS does for their postseason? It’s not like the IAC tournament suffered from their absence.

Actually the IAC did suffer. EHS game results were not included in tournament seedings, if EHS results were included, Landon would have been the number 3 seed.
I do find it interesting that the LAST place team in the IAC defeated the 2nd best team in the WCAC this season.

Not a good showing by the WCAC yesterday. The 5th best team in the IAC knocks off the second best team in the WCAC. I am now beginning to wonder how down is Gonzaga this Spring or was their loss to PVI a total fluke.

If you had a chance to watch the PVI - EHS game yesterday, EHS controlled the pace of the game from start to finish. PVI didn't look interested in playing.

Based on season YTD and quality wins and strength of schedule, I will rank area teams below:

1. Georgetown Prep: Hoyas have dominated the IAC since a very early season loss to Bullis
2. Bullis: The Bulldogs own great wins over Georgetown Prep, Landon, Saint Stephens, and even Episcopal now
3. SJC: best two victories come against Gonzaga and Paul VI
4. Landon: solid victories over Bullis and Saint Stephens (note their game vs EHS was canceled due to COVID)
5. Saint Stephens: solid victories over Bullis, Landon and Episcopal
6. Episcopal: the Maroon win their first ever VISSA State Title. EHS split their series against crosstown rival Saint Stephens
7. Paul VI: VIAA runner up has a good victory over Gonzaga
8. Gonzaga: No quality wins this year, and save my the Riverside argument
9. St Albans: quality win vs Episcopal.. still scratching my head how the Bulldogs managed to win that one
10. DeMatha:

Non SJC parent here. SJC is miles ahead of Bullis. Losing to SSSA and then barely beating them in semifinals reflects very poorly on Bullis. SJC hasn’t played anybody, but team is extremely good and will challenge Prep for the local title at Geico.

IAC is playing some very sloppy lacrosse. A ton of turnovers abs penalties in all games. When they play a team that doesn’t turn the ball over they will be doomed.

GZ was the only team that followed Covid protocols and didn’t start or start until March, and they are also the only team that hasn’t been able to play in the home stadium. Also save us all the “neither did other teams” argument because we all know that’s not true.

Hard to really gauge how strong SJC is this Spring, they have played NO ONE. The WCAC having a very down year doesn't help their cause. Beating the Good Counsels or the Heights or Bishop Ireton doesn't really mean much.

I think Prep will beat them by 5 goals at the GEICO event as they have been battle tested in the IAC.

Not if prep continues to turnover the ball like they do. Win FO + Turn over ball is not a good combo.

Pretty sure there are some photos on Instagram of Gonzaga practicing at WES from the first week of February.
