[Anonymous]

Sucks the Zaga player got injured. Was good to have a few strong teams in the DMV.

If it is true that he played a year of JV lacrosse at Landon, and two years of Varsity Lacrosse at Episcopal, then he will only have one year of high school lacrosse at Prep. If he "reclasses" as a Junior, he has to sit out a year. I don't think anyone in the league, will be happy to let this boy play five years of high school lacrosse when other schools have held many kids out of competition for a year to meet the four years of high school Maryland State Rule.

I would imagine Prep will enforce this and if they don’t the other IAC schools will certainly make sure it’s enforced.

This also might be a first for the IAC too.

I can’t ever recall a student athlete in the IAC history that had a kid transfer around to 3 schools, all within in the league too.

The IAC doesn’t have a lot of rules, but one thy do have prohibits a student from playing more than four years.

IAC don’t care. Schools just want the tuition.

Prep got things together. They want a rematch against St. John’s. Maybe the DC championships will happen.

With a full month of games having been played, we are starting to see which teams are bullish and whose bearish.

1. SJC (9-0): this really could be a special team. Expect them to cruise past the Heights today and Episcopal Academy from Philly later this week. St. Anthony's looms in the background

2. Prep (6-3): Lil Hoyas dominated their Jesuit rivals last night. Prep seems to have found its offensive mojo after a slow start. Their losses came against #1 SJC, #3 Brunswick, and #10 Saint Marys. The Hoyas clash with their archnemesis Landon on Friday

3. PVI (7-2): PVI picked up their first-ever program victory over Landon this past weekend. A tough non-league matchup against Malvern Prep this afternoon from the Inter-Act.

4. St Stephens (10-1): The Saints have been cruising ever since taking a slacking from PVI a few weeks ago. The Saints dominated the competition during their Texas spring break trip and have doubled up on VISAA opponents. Saints travel to crosstown rival Episcopal to open up IAC league play.

5. Gonzaga (8-2): The Purple Eagles lost their #1 offensive threat to a potential season-ending injury and simply are not the same caliber of team. They look lost on both sides of the ballin their past two contests. An interesting battle with IAC rival Bullis looms and then a road trip down to Texas where the Eagles will square off against some tough competition in Dallas Jesuit and the Episcopal School Dallas.

6. Bullis (4-4): The Bulldogs dropped a tough one over the weekend to Malvern Prep. The bulldogs seem to be struggling offensively which is not a surprise given the firepower they graduated last Spring. St Albans on Thursday and the Purple Eagles on Saturday should be a good barometer this week.

7. Landon (5-4): The Bears went 1-1 last week, picking up a win against DeMatha but dropping a 6-4 contest to PVI. Landon's defense appears to be much improved but its offensive production is lacking. Bears and the Lil Hoyas face off on Friday.

8. St Albans (8-3): Based on their record, one might think the Bulldogs are legit this year. While their strength of schedule has been questionable, the Bulldogs seem to be improved this season and are playing with confidence. Will this be the year they finally get out of the basement of the IAC and knock off either Bullis or Landon? STA vs Bullis on Thursday will tell us if these guys are contenders or pretenders.

9. The Heights (6-3): I like what Boh Mitchell is doing with this program. His players play hard for him and keeping it very close with both Gonzaga and PVI tells you everything you need to know about the direction in which this program is headed.

10. DeMatha (4-4): DeMatha is young and athletic. Looks for these guys to improve under Dave Mitchell. A tough non-league matchup against traditional Philadelphia Catholic power La Salle takes place this afternoon.

Somebody needs a hobby.

Can't wait for the re-match.

Lemme guess, your team didn't get ranked very high on the list?

Seriously though, this is actually a well thought out quality post (whether or not one agrees with his assessments).

How about another post talking about what color jeans Gonzaga moms are wearing or what bars Prep dads hang out at or maybe another post from the ever-present Yorktown troll...

Agreed good post. Unbiased and objective it seems. Someone is getting out and seeing good ball. Keep it up!

I don't think the player you are talking about is at risk of violating the four year rule. Episcopal High School did not play any games in 2020. The season was cancelled by Covid before any games were played. Hence, the player currently is on his third season.

The rule in question is Maryland state, not IAC. That's why some kids reclassify to Virginia schools. The IAC isn't going to do anything.
