2023 Neutral Observer End-of-Season Rankings:

1. Georgetown Prep (16-2): IAC regular season and tournament champions. The Lil Hoyas put together another memorable season. Kabari and Burns might be the country's best 1 - 2 attack combo in the Nation. The senior-laden squad dominated the IAC from start to finish and finished on a 13-game winning streak. Kabari should be up for the Washington Post POY.

2. St Johns (15-3): The Cadets with extra pressure on their backs after an undefeated 2022 regular season, lived up to the hype this season. SJC had key pieces in special areas of the field - Big Tastey arguably the nation's top goalie in the country and Weller dominated the face-off circle. The Cadets are now winners of the past 3 WCAC banners and have emerged as the program to beat in the Catholic League. Big Tastey will also be a likely front runner for Wash Post POY.

3. Paul VI (18-5) WCAC runner-up and VISSA state champions. The Panthers, unlike seasons of the past, didn't fold down the stretch and played their best lacrosse in late April and May. Despite the loss to SJC in the WCAC finals, PVI knocked off a very strong Blue Ridge squad and Episcopal team to win the program's 2nd ever private school state championship. Given what the Panthers return on paper next year, Coach Lee has this program headed in the right direction.

4. Landon (12-7): IAC runner-up... A roller coaster of a season for the Bears this Spring. After a very slow start to the season, Landon seemed to have found their mojo in the finals weeks of the season. The young Bears will be a front-runner in the IAC next spring with how many sophomores and juniors played big-time minutes this Spring and the return of Kevin Miller from a knee injury.

5. Gonzaga (13-8): Another up-and-down season for the Purple Eagles. Gonzaga started the season strong with good wins over Landon, Bullis, and a trip out to San Fran against California's best but really stumbled down the stretch. The Eagles lost 3 out of their final 4 games to end the season.

6. Episcopal (16-5) VISSA finalist. The Maroon put together one of their best IAC teams in decades, earning the #2 seed at the end of the regular season. EHS fell in the finals of the VISSA state finals to PVI.

7. Bullis (15-8) After Wade went down for the season, Bullis never seemed to find their way this Spring.

8. St Albans (12-9): After a hot start to the season with victories over strong MIAA teams and a strong showing in Texas, the Bulldogs struggled as IAC league play unfolded.

9. DeMatha (10-9) The Stags had an up-and-down season.

10. Saint Andrews (12-3): First-year coach, earns himself a MAC championship.

These look about right to me.

Biggest surprise performance to me was Paul VI, I don’t think many people thought they would finish in the top 3 in the area at the start of the season. Knocking off Gonzaga twice and winning a va state title is huge for their program.

Biggest disappointment was Bullis. I really thought based on what they had on paper returning from the 2022 campaign, the Bulldogs would be able to defend their IAC banner. Bullis graduates a strong 2023 class.

That event last week is not part of any HS conference or sanctioned games and would not be counted toward any teams 2023 record. The season is finished and the rankings are the rankings.

are you really claiming the games last week didn't count? I get some teams might have some injuries this late in the year but seriously who doesn't the final few days of the season?

so Gonzaga boosters now decide which games will count and which games won't count toward their total W-L record. This has to be a first on this forum. The 2023's played last weekend, this wasn't some summer ball club tournament with a running clock.

The Eagles were bad the final month of the season or maybe the players just quit on the coaches or the team just hit a wall. It becoming a common theme down on eye street.

The season ended with your conference or state tournament and playoffs. SJC won the WCAC, GP won the IAC, PVI won the VISAA. That is all. Nothing else counts toward a teams record in national rankings like US lax or IL. Any games played after the end of the WCAC or IAC season are not and should not be counted toward a team's W/L record. If Gonzaga or Bullis won this weekend's showcase could they claim they are the national champions of HS lacrosse? That would be even more ridiculous.

. Were you there? If you were you would have seen that Gonzaga did not play their starters as much as it normally would in either game. They prioritized uncommitted 2024”s, 2025”s and especially the uncommitted 2023”s for whom those two games were the last games they would ever play. This was especially true of the second game.

Take a deep breath and get a grip. Don’t be so much of a hater. Fix whatever is happening in your life that makes you act this way. Good luck.

Let see where Gonzaga ends up next year on the national stage. Time will tell. My guess is they’re out of the top 5 in the DMV alone. They lost all their big horses, especially at midfield. They’ll be okay attack but that’s it.

So is the baseless and anonymous Gonzaga hatred.
