An egregious cross check that left a player laying on the turf is the same as a shove. Refs blew that one, but otherwise a let them play kind of game.

Totally legal check, not a cheap shot. Landon #4 was the one who lost his cool and targeted player after play and flag flew.

If a flag was thrown, it certainly wasn't a legal check. Typical Prep parent.

Right, because refs never get it wrong. 🙄🤣

4 wasn't on the receiving end of the check. However ill advised, 4 was trying to stand up for his goalie, who 0 illegally cross checked in the head. The goalie was still on the ground. Good Luck next season.

Yes, you are correct about 4 and 42, however, 4 did not step on O. See what I did there, I admitted what was clear on film. You still call

Lies. Good news there is video that shows the legal check to the chest (not the head). Nice try spreading fake news. Unfortunately for you there is video evidence that proves you are making up lies about teenagers. Shame on you.

Yeah, you are blind. Watch the video. Slow it down, maybe get out your magnifying glass. The first contact is at the neck with hands wide on the stick and following through to the helmet and head. I don't know 0, I have no reason to suspect he is anything less than a good person. It doesn't mean he didn't cross check the Landon player in the head. I can clearly see on the video what happened. I am not defending 4's cross check/push from behind on 0. See, I am not blinded by my biases. Again, Good Luck.

Don't forget Landon #42 running over to #0 and getting in his face after the play ended. His teammates had to pull him away. Two Landon players behaving badly, classy. I have watched the video also. You can call a penalty on #0 for a hard check, but it wasn't a cheap shot or egregious, it was a hard lacrosse check on a moving target. Aiming for chest and it hit his neck, but never his head. Goalie was up in less than 30 seconds and back in goal for the remainder of the game. Now Landon's #4 and #42, on the other hand, were cheap and egregious. #4 attacked #0 from behind, pushed him to the ground by hitting his back and head/helmet with his stick, then stomped on him and kicked his stick away. #42 then ran over after the play ended and got in #0 face aggressively and his teammates had to pull him away. Landon definitely the worse offenders and got lucky with only one call as they should have had two.

You are amazing. 0 cross checks the goalie in the head and neck. 0 earns a penalty. Might have been illegal in the eyes of the three officials who discussed the whole scenario. 4 retaliates and earns a penalty. Why do you think 4 retaliated and 42 got in his face? Maybe there were closer to the play than you. Maybe you can't see. I accept 4's action was worthy of a penalty. 42 was in 0's face. Big Deal. Big Big Big Deal. "In His Face." How about a cross check in the head and neck? What would you rather have? Someone in your face or cross checking you in the neck and head. I suspect you might like someone in your face. Not a great look for anyone. Good Luck.

Yeah, like the unhinged Landon dad who was in everyone’s face last year when they lost in the playoffs. Cursing and screaming at the refs from the stands after the game was over in front of kids. Kids learn from their parents, but I guess no big deal in the Landon world. Landon is always unhinged and behaving badly. Get a grip. Hard check got a penalty. Two Landon players retaliating, that’s unsportsmanlike. Typical.

Last year? There were 2 unhinged Landon dads and mom at the championship last week. A dumb GP dad thought filming them would shame them but it made them apoplectic. They were screaming profanities and threatening the GP dad.

Shame on whomever cancelled the Madlax broadcast. We could have had some live reality TV

Prep is now on the refusal to play list with Landon.

Stop contacting current students enrolled at other schools and that might change.

Lmao - if you only knew how many lax families from DMV schools have reached out about transferring. Not easy to transfer to St. John’s since the school is at capacity every year.

Someone hit a touchy topic and the correct one I might add, regarding why STJ is being black balled by other local high schools on the scheduling.

And despite what you think, most everyone you are referring to had the option of any IAC or WCAC school they wanted. It must be difficult to have so much hate in your heart. Best of luck.

HA! Really? That's funny coming from someone calling someone else names. Just facts reported and no name calling.

SJC is a safety for most kids. Facts.

IAC kids have no desire to transfer to SJC. Facts.

An SJC starting attackman transferred from an IAC school after last spring. Fact.

In the current landscape where you can go to a great academic school if you are good enough as a player (multiple Bullis kids to Ivies, etc.), SJC being a tier down in terms of academic name recognition is way less of a problem than it used to be.

Speaks has also done nothing but win since he arrived, including a #1 undefeated season, several recent alums have had an immediate impact in the college game (Haley, Rhoa, Checo), and there is a returning player who is the #1 recruit in the nation for the 2024s (Duenkel). While he and his staff getting plenty of hate from the Gonzaga/Prep corners of these boards, you don't hear players or parents complaining at all about the program.

They have also leaned into having effectively year-round lacrosse players, which is a want for some kids.

TLDR; there are lot of reasons to look at SJC as an incoming ninth or transfer.

Several students at St. John’s are heading to Ivys and other high level academic universities. Your HS doesn’t dictate where you go to college you do. These IAC folks are blind.

Now the above comment is really really funny! Wow!

I don't see any IAC team playing SJC next year...

This isn't a complete list of multisport lacrosse players at Landon, there are other kids, but I don't have the program handy.
So that Landon squad might need a week or three to get into playing lacrosse together because they mostly play multiple sports-the way things should be, but SJCHs wants to play in that little window when Landon isn't ready. Landon and SJCHS are 2-2 the last 4 times they have played. The last SJCH win at the start of COVID was a 1 goal game and Landon's all american, #50 didn't finish in front of the net alone with 5 seconds left. A barn burner if you will. I suspect the bears would be happy to play SJCHS later in the season when they are hitting on all cylinders.

Hysterical that the IAC is saying they aren’t ready to play when the season starts.

You must be dense. Kids that play year round lacrosse at their high school are more ready to play on the third weekend in February than kids that have been playing other sports for the entire year. That is the point.

Most of you are missing the point. Saying that hard core individual lax players are always ready to play is totally different than when those same players play with their hs teams and have a totally different coach and a totally different system than their club teams goes to show you clearly don’t have a high level lax player in the house or you’d understand the difference lol! Hell, Landon didn’t even have some players final positions solidified until half way through the season.

Lacrosse Forum, remember?

It's rather weird that GP loves to throw mud on the SJC coach for aggressive recruiting tactics and bending the rules etc. etc. when GP is basically doing the same thing. Let's look at some known facts.

1. #33 (hands down their best player) played lacrosse in HS for 5 seasons. Not to mention played at two previous IAC teams (Landon and Episcopal)
2. Prep claims SJC is recruiting players from up and down the Eastern seaboard when they are basically doing the same thing. GP's starting goalie is from BC, Canada. Their fogo this season was a transfer from a Richmond private school who re-classified / repeated his junior year again. Their fogo the past two seasons was another highly sought-after recruit from a Richmond private who transferred in for his junior and senior seasons.
3. One of SJC's starting attackmen this year was recruited from Landon this past summer.

Bottom line, I'm all for winning and elevating your program but it's rather pathetic that both of these schools point fingers at one another when they are operating very similarly. Both administrations should set aside their silly egos, and play the game this week.

It's unlikely these teams will play next Spring as Prep is most likely going to have a mega drop-off based on how many seniors are graduating.

howd 33 play for 5 years?

its well documented. Landon for 9th grade, EHS for 9th grade again, EHS for 10th, GP for 11th, GP for 12th. 5 years in HS...

but the GP faithful love to point fingers at SJC for bending the rules

i thought reclassing happens in ms not hs

So did STA end up in last place in the IAC? Is that worse than last year? I thought this was suppose to be their year and they were going to challenge for the IAC Championship?

St. John’s is currently on a 41 game win streak against DMV teams. During this run they have the following wins against top DMV teams.


3 wins over Prep
1 win over Landon
1 win over SSSA
1 win over Bullis
5 wins over PVI
2 wins over BL
1 win over Calvert Hall
4 wins over Gonzaga
5 wins over DeMatha


Coaches and players know what it takes to be successful and it’s not PLAYING lacrosse all year round. The program follow a very similar college lacrosse team schedule in the off season. If your HS isn’t getting you ready until half way thru the season they are doing something wrong.

Who cares

No one cares. SJC is like new money, obsessively talking about it and being flashy and tacky.

Well, new money is kicking old money’s a$$. And old money is trying hard to keep up. Old money needs to step their game up. New money hasn’t lost in the town in quite a while.
