McDonough, Mercy and Spaulding are serious programs full of ECNL, DA and Pipeline/Celtic players all going to DI programs. Unless you play for McLEans u18/19 team, you will not see any ECNL/DA team with the level of talent of those three schools. I have watched Good Counsel play several times and they are stacked with ECNL players but even they were destroyed by McDonough.
Nobody cares about a Baltimore high school soccer team on DCUM. Go post on Baltimore Urban Mom.

Actually nobody cares about the prissy mentality in the DMV which has created an atmosphere where you think the region is better than it is. That is one of the reasons Americans sent Trump here so that he could blow up the culture.
Every coach around here knows that you don't see real aggressive, physical and serious play until you get to B-more and beyond (the real "America").
Nobody cares about Baltimore/Annapolis? I wonder why the WaPo includes schools from the area in its rankings. Guess where the WaPo went to find the top soccer programs for its rankings? Outside of the traditional DC suburbs. This is what America thinks of DC-area high soccer:

I am not saying that the Pipeline and Celtic players are the best but we need to dismiss these jackasses who are dismissing Baltimore-area teams especially when even DC-area club coaches consider those clubs some of their best competition at the 05 age category. The reality is that the top 5 of any elite coach between Richmond and Baltimore would include FCV, McLean, Bethesda/Rush, Pipeline and Baltimore Celtic. We will let the Arlingotn/MU parents quivel over where those clubs fall but if you ask the actual coaches who have played Pipleine and Celtic, they will tell you.
