Honestly, there’s not much excitement here—this feels like a matchup of two overrated teams. Landon’s offense has struggled with poor execution of plays and shot selection; and Gonzaga’s offense isn’t much better—average at best. Let’s revisit this after they take losses to DM and SJC.

Eeehh its weird that the game is being played on a Monday.

Landon's offense is better than GZ based on the games I have watched.

The game will be won in between the lines and whichever team can clear the ball better. GZ has a better FOGO and keeper play. Zaga settled 6v6 offense has been poor this year. GZ can score goals in transition and un-settled situations from their suffocating 10 man ride. GZ will beat SJC this Spring. DM in my opinion might be the best team in the WCAC this year. The Bears will be a very good test for my Eagles today.

The whole DMV is down this year and it might even be worst next year.

What's the psych profile of the "down year in DMV", "big drop off in talent", "club lacrosse ruining the sport", "nothing like the old days" poster? Happy not to live in your world. But what is it? Dad of 2nd best player on a bad team? If your team is on top you aren't saying that right? Just a very tired narrative.

I think he's parroting.

Just telling the truth. Not nearly as many elite teams in DMV compared to years past and programs that have enjoyed long term success are down, if not out. This will be corroborated over the next 6 months by a lack of college commitments

I agree with this. Been involved w high level private school lacrosse for 12 years. It is down. no doubt. Club results are one data point, recruiting rankings are another. Head to head outside of our area for HS lax is a third. All are trending down. It isn't off a cliff, but it's down. I am not sure why, but agree with poster above.

You may be right, or you may be suffering from old guy disease. Doesn't matter. The question is why do you and your like-minded, glory days clowns need to keep posting this conclusion? What are you trying to accomplish? Diminishing your kids', and their teammates and competitors skills and commitment? Totally repetitive and unproductive.

I don't know about other people's motives, but my motive is simply putting out an opinion that may add some context to others, who are also forming an opinion. I am pretty sure it's a private school lacrosse thread on a forum that is designed for people to post opinions. If kids or parents can't take that, well, I guess I'd say grow up.

This year's Landon and Prep teams (who are not as good as last year's Landon team or Prep's '23 team) would likely blow out the "historic" Landon and Prep teams from the 90s and 00's. DMV Lacrosse is not down. Local kids are better at every position. Lacrosse in general has grown a lot in the last 20-30 years, and it is up everywhere.

While the proliferation of club lacrosse has brought plenty of negative consequences, it's also brought parity to the DMV and national lacrosse in general. Gone are the days where you had no chance of getting recruited if you didn't play for one of the big privates. Kids can play at almost any high school they want - and play with their friends, and still get seen in the summer. So there will likely be less super teams that excel on the national stage, but it has nothing to do with the quality of players playing in the DMV.

I like the parity now in the area it is fun it is great. But that is just not true. A Giblin Prep team would manhandle a prep or Landon team this year.

STA 7 - Heights 6 2OT

Landon 9 - Gonzaga 7 OT

[Anonymous]

Landon wins 9-8 in OT

[Anonymous]

IAC > WCAC

[Anonymous]

Game could have gone either way.

Very even game

[Anonymous]

IAC doing a number on WCAC this year.

Bullis Landon Prep wins over Gonzaga

Bullis win over DeMatha

Episcopal win over PVI

[Anonymous]

Top teams are all so competitive this year. Basically Landon and Prep are tied for 2nd in the DMV. Both beat Gonzaga by one in OT. Only question at this point is Bullis. They also only beat Gonzaga by one, so these last few games in the IAC are going to be interesting and very competitive.

All 1 goal games against Gonzaga too

Heights got every ground ball and STA turned the ball over 8-1 and Heights still couldn’t get it done. Two pretty mediocre teams.
