Huh? SJC was playing the bench when up by 10+ Most teams would they are undefeated what excuse is needed? |
SJC coach was at PVI last night - not a bad idea since he plays both teams this week. He’ll be ready. |
| SJC will pummel PVI and GZ by double digits unless they take their foot off the gas. |
| ^Gonzaga is too young and inexperienced and pvi has a good 2022 class but no depth. |
| Yes, all of the posters over the past year who thought GZ would finish 3rd or even 4th in the WCAC need to weigh in and admit how wrong you were. GZ may not finish #4 in the US (current ranking) but the program is clearly rebounding from last year and is well positioned with a new coach/culture/recruits to be a perennial top ten team. |

DC area rankings for the week of March 27th. (WCAC, IAC, NOVA Publics)
1. SJC: continues to show the country they are deserving of their #1 ranking with a victory over Hill Academy (Canada). Big week for the Cadets with games against PVI and Gonzaga this week. 2. Gonzaga: Purple Eagles had a gritty comeback on Friday night vs PVI in the 4th quarter. A monster game looms in the shadows vs their crosstown rival, SJC, but first a game vs Culver Academy this afternoon on Eye Street. 3. Georgetown Prep: The mighty Hoyas have won 5 straight since dropping their 2 opening games. GP took down Western Reserve earlier in the week, a strong program from Ohio and Westminster from the New England West division yesterday. A huge contest vs Brunswick looms later this week. 4. Paul VI: The Panthers proved they are for "real" this Spring on Friday night. Panthers squandered a monster lead against Gonzaga but look to bounce back this week with upcoming games against SJC and Landon. 5. St. Stephens: The Saints rolled through the Lone Star last week and picked up good W's against Dallas Jesuit and Highland Park. The Saints have won 5 straight since dropping a contest to PVI. 6. Bullis: Despite the loss to Culver, the Bulldogs were able to compete for a half before being blown out after the break. Bellistri's Bulldogs are super young this Spring and are in a rebuilding mode. Big contest vs Malvern Prep the 2nd half of this week. 7. Landon: Da Bears picked up road wins against STAB and Norfolk Academy. The Bears face off against DeMatha and PVI this week. 8. St Albans: Bulldogs are cruising in the Tar Heel. Hard to really say how strong STA is given their schedule. STA won't be challenged until IAC league play begins in April. 9. DeMatha: Since the SJC loss, the Stags have won 3 straight. The Bears and the Stags will clash in their annual battle on Tuesday 10. Robinson: The NOVA public school power has good win's over Yorktown and Madison. |
The Heights would beat Robinson by at least half a dozen |
Settle down Francis. Lots more lacrosse yet to be played. |
Are we talking about the Heights team that hardly beat Sidwell Friends a few weeks ago? |
| +1 |
The Heights would undoubtedly beat Robinson and likely belong at #10. They had one horrible game against Sidwell where they were decimated by injuries, but still took down STAB and played PVI to an extremely close game (which the only other team to do that is #3 in the nation GZ). |
|
Looks like Dave or Boh are back hyping up the Heights program again.
The last time I checked, moral victories don’t count in the W column |
| Yorktown dad finally settles down, now we have Robinson dad on here and Heights perpetually in the discussion even though irrelevant. |
These rankings look to be on point... maybe switch PVI and GP's spots respectfully but GP has been playing well recently. PVI - SJC game tomorrow should be a good one! |
| Just a great game between Culver and Gonzaga--a pleasure to watch. SJC and Gonzaga both need to take care of business tomorrow and then we get the matchup that everybody has been waiting for on Friday. Let's hope Gonzaga can keep the loss to single digits.... |
