Really interested in this one. Hate that it turned cold again. This one should be played under perfect conditions.

Should be fun. Hope it’s streamed.

Maybe the St. Albans music program can sing the national anthem at it.

Bullis by 5

Interested on everyone’s opinion.

Does your team get better playing against teams that are stacked with good players or teams with 1 or 2 good players? Win or lose

Anonymous wrote:The STA vs Riverside 10-5 game today was painfully sloppy and chaotic. Definitely not top shelf lacrosse. Clears, on both sides, were a travesty. It was a 2 to 3 point game until the very end of the third quarter. We learned three things with this game.

1. Neither team is very good.
2. STA is at or near the bottom of the IAC again.
3. You can’t really compare public school lacrosse to private, they’re just on different levels.

It was 6-2 at half, briefly 6-4 and then quickly 9-4. It should have been much worse.

Try to keep up.

Of course the STA kids are not top notch lacrosse players but you were watching kids who pull 1600 and 36s and are going to Duke, Princeton and Yale.

"Try to keep up"? Keep up with what? Your lies? Score was a 2-3 point game until almost the end of the third - facts. Why lie? And how exactly should it have been much worse? If STA learned how to play better lacrosse or had better players? If the refs made different calls? If the coaches did a better job? What exactly do you mean? This was a game of two very average teams playing sloppy lacrosse.

Don't even get me started on your final classic (and so unoriginal) STA statement. It is so cringe worthy and truly an embarrassment to your community. Every time an STA booster reads their team isn't very good their retort is always about just how much smarter their boys are. Completely tacky, classless, and untrue. The STA boys are just as smart as boys at other schools in our area. The difference is the STA boys and their parents are told repeatedly their boys are smarter and the best of the best by the school. It's how they get you to pay almost $60K in tuition each year. Boys at other schools are equally as smart. Sure, not all boys are smart, but not all boys at STA are smart either. Look at their matriculation list these days, it really isn't that much different than other popular schools in our area. The STA matriculation list does include schools like Harvard and Yale, but it also includes schools like Montgomery College, Kentucky, Arizona State, Alabama, Whitworth, Elizabeth City State, VCU, etc. The STA lacrosse team is not full of "kids pulling 1600s and 36s" and we are not watching boys going to "Duke, Princeton, and Yale" more than any other school, especially in the IAC. Get over yourself. Not only is your statement a complete exaggeration, but it is delusional.

This is an appropriate game for a public vs a private. The Heights is a very small school who grinds away at the lacrosse powers but can't win due to a number of reasons. They have one freshman on offense with some skill and the rest of the team works very hard and is well coached. If the freshman doesn't play for whatever reason, Yorktown should win comfortably, otherwise, it's a toss up.

Culver at SJC

We have some big games slated for this afternoon. I'll try my best to track today's area schedule.

Culver Academy at SJC
BL at Gonzaga
Saint Mary's Annapolis vs Landon
Good Counsel at Bullis
PVI at Blue Ridge
McDonogh at Haveford
Hill Academy at Calvert Hall
Ryken at Georgetown Prep

Neutrals Picks)

[b]Culver over SJC by 5 - 6
BL over Gonzaga by 3
Landon over Saint Marys by 1 - 2
Bullis over Good Counsel by 5 - 6
Blue Ridge over PVI by 1 - 2
McDonogh over Haveford by 3 - 4
Calvert Hall over Hill Academy by 3
GP over Ryken by 9+

I'm very intrigued to see how far Good Counsel has come under Dane Smith in just two years. While the program appears to be heading in the right direction, don't think they have the horses to keep up with Bullis just yet. I suspect the Falcons will keep it rather close for the first half and Bullis pulling away big in the 2nd half when the depth kicks in.

Boys' Latin at Gonzaga.
St. Mary's at Landon
Culver at SJC
Good Counsel at Bullis

Last chance to get a little more even with MIAA.
Some transference application with common opponents.
SJC hoping Culver is tired from the long trip.
Is GC real and/or is Bullis back to being a top team?

If I remember correctly, the Heights lost to a public school in Frederick County last year.
