Enough of the WCAC lax talk.

Big game today which no one is talking about

Prep vs Loyola Blakefield in Baltimore.

I think the Lil Hoyas will prevail in a very close battle.

Hoyas 10

I get that the lesser team may have a handful of boys who are trying to get recruited and the top team look at these games as an opportunity to get their second and third string some playing time but as an O’Connell dad who is going to watch this at leas 5 more times over the season it borders on cruel.

I agree. This issues has been discussed for years. Not sure why they don't see it the same from lax as they do for the football in the WCAC. It just not enjoyable for all and it is not good for the players, school and conference. Split them up...split them up!!! MIAA does it I believe and no reason why WCAC shouldn't do it if they have done it for football. You could also say the same about basketball PVI just kills everybody to the point they have enough money to play an out conference schedule that takes them to the best tournaments and game across the country. They barely play homes game and then play the WCAC slate where they just steam roll every school (they did have the best team ever) but it typically plays out this way every year for basketball. But for lax is long overdue and agree as PP posted WCAC Commissioner lazy! Honestly, I have not heard a reason for not doing it! Don't give me other schools players want a chance to be recruited. If that where the case they would be at another schools. I also understand DS wants to play also and not be at a school like GZ, SJC and PVI with enough boys and interest they end up riding the bench or flat out quit so it is a catch 22.

Hang in there O'Connell dad and keep it positive for DS.

While I agree with the overall sentiment of this post and the one below it. It isn't as easy as it sounds.

First, football is divided up for safety reasons. You have essentially high end DI athletes competing against D3 and kids that just want to play. Football is an inherently more dangerous sport than lacrosse. It just is. Thus, you don't have the issues of safety with lacrosse.

Second, the MIAA is comprised of about 25 schools and it is a mix of catholic, private, and other religious schools. That allows it to divide up the sports into a variety of ways based on competitiveness like having 3 divisions of approximately 8 teams in each division. WCAC has what 10-12 schools. Hard to divide that and still have a season. The only way dividing it up would work into something like this would be to combine the IAC and WCAC - I don't see that happening any time soon.

Third, the MIAA generally plays their regular season games Tuesday and Friday once conference schedule tees off. Where is the time the in schedule to play a WCAC during conference play. Not really anywhere and why would the MIAA do something like that. It has no reason just because the WCAC is unbalanced.

The IAC only has six teams, and they have no trouble scheduling games with non-conference opponents. A five team WCAC A division would not have scheduling problems.

Agree move the WCAC split to a new thread.

Dons by 3.

Dons will take on Bullis next week.

The IAC doesn't have problems scheduling. Just do some work WCAC AD's instead of coaching your sport. Instead think of all of them and the conference.

Spalding is actually quite good. They will be 4th or 5th in the MIAA this year. Would not surprise me to see them beat Bullis.

Not buying into the Spalding hype.

Saint Mary's is likely the best private this Spring from the Annapolis region.

Bullis wins big this afternoon.

Spalding!

You'll get nothing and like it!
