Gonzaga has almost 1,000 boys and went 0-3 vs IAC teams with half their enrollment. SMR taking down DM team 3x their size is also impressive. Heights lost to IAC team (STA) their same size. It's also clear WCAC football is 20x better than IAC football and WCAC hoops is 10x better than IAC hoops. But in boys lax, IAC is a little better than WCAC.

IAC enrollment
Georgetown Prep – 500 boys
Landon – 390 boys
Bullis – 330 boys
St. Alban’s – 285 boys
St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes – 230 boys
EHS – 220 boys

WCAC enrollment
Gonzaga – 960 boys
DeMatha – 800 boys
St. John’s – 700 boys
Our Lady of Good Counsel – 625
Paul VI – 600
St. Mary’s Ryken - 335
Heights – 280

This is a great point to remind everyone of….these IAC schools are kicking the crap out of schools way out of their weight class when it comes to student enrollment. Most of the WCAC schools more than double and even triple some of the IACs lol!

Moronic argument. Ten guys on the field at a time, brainiac. If it was all about class size, VA publics would be DMV champs every year.

If 5% of your players are great, 10 % very good, 10% good, and the balance average or worse, you are more likely to have a better top 10 if you have 500 boys to pick from than 250. Wont be true every year but would be true on average. Not that moronic of an argument to me. If not, why do most states have different classifications for sports based on size of enrollment.

There's no going anywhere. The cost associated with EHS is $80k at a 100% boarding school with a religious association. The school needs to get back to where they came from and start pounding the streets in the affluent suburbs of the southern metropolitan areas.

Georgia is a bit of a hotbed now. I'm sure there are a few Fulton County finance scions with sons of the confederacy waiting to drop 80k for a chance to play better competition than they currently face.

Not with this being front and center.

The Office of Community & Equity supports Episcopal High School’s goal of fostering “empathy and responsibility for self and others” among its students and creating a supportive, inclusive, and equitable environment in which the “sharing [of] diverse life experiences, ideas, and values” becomes the foundation of the Episcopal High School community. By raising the consciousness of diversity issues in every aspect of the community, Episcopal students will draw closer to the School’s goal of becoming “discerning individuals with the intellectual and moral courage to lead principled lives of leadership and service to others.”

This kind of word salad mumbo-jumbo having little to do with actual education is not what finance scions are looking for in a school.

Go away.

Yeah sorry, while he phrases it like a d-bag, he’s not wrong. An office like that at a school catering to rich folks is begging to be shorted, and not just athletically.

Phrases what like a db? It's an exact quote from the school and using the same phrase from a prior poster. And to the pp - do you have an actual rebuttal or alternative to why EHS has gone down so far? Covering your ears and eyes is a losing strategy.

There’s a cadre of prep school upper management that has just shifted around from spot to spot and rolled out some very woke-y policies that have not aged well. The former guy at STAB did that and gutted the athletics program and scooted off to NY, where he did the same and got canned last year bc it’s not 2020 anymore. Just one example of many. Like it or not, high priced boarding schools that are losing fat wallets from Asia for geopolitical reasons are going back to alumni for more money and hearing that the changes made were not to their liking and give accordingly. Same thing at the ivies. The foreign gravy train has dried up, the diversity offices are now cost centers, not marketing material.

The private schools here face this same issue - this coupled with some of them consciously de emphasizing sports (STA) while others actively upped their emphasis on them (Prep) makes for a wide disparity across the IAC for lacrosse and football particularly. Landon is at a crossroads and the new Headmaster will be pivotal in either maintaining and improving the athletic culture (that is currently still down from the 90s and 2000s after some very non athletically focused admissions years) or destroying it as happened at STA and other schools too it sounds like.

Notwithstanding the “de-emphasizing” at STA, they still had the best player on the field in every IAC football game they played this year. (Watch the tape before you spout off about big Manny.) They also had 13 D-1 signees including 2 headed to SEC schools. Add the fact that they have many boys with 1500 plus SAT scores on every team they field and I think they are doing pretty well. Finally, they didn’t do it by importing kids to supplant local kids like Landon Lax did last year.

Very STA thing to consider anywhere outside the beltway importing…

Or honestly if you were born and bred STA you would consider anywhere other than Upper Northwest non local but I expect you aren’t.

SSSA had a very good run, STA was very good a long time ago. But this is the product at EHS just about every year.

Maybe, but the last 2 years have been particularly bad for the majority of their sports teams.
2025: 7-7 and pretty sure they won't be able to field 2 teams for the tournament
2024: 9-10 and the school couldn't field 2 teams for both varsity and jv iac tourney
2023: 16-5 with a highlight win over Landon
2022: 9-11
2021: 6-4 coming out of covid year
2020: covid
2019: 11-8
2018: 11-8

U talking about the 2 kids from GP who were told they were never going to play and transferred to Landon where their uncle is a teacher and coach, oh and btw one of the twins was a 3rd line middie? Or you talking about the tiny Frederick county kid who scored about 10 goals and left the public school system because it was awful? Landon has no more transfers than anyone else. But point taken on STA, they are competitive and get some IAC titles along the way while still being highly academic.

That should be done for public schools for the reasons you say. But we're not talking about publics.

Public school lacrosse is terrible because the private schools scoop up all the public school talent. Watch a team like Langley play. They would lose to Gonzaga's JV.

Georgia is a bit of a hotbed now. I'm sure there are a few Fulton County finance scions with sons of the confederacy waiting to drop 80k for a chance to play better competition than they currently face.

This is a top ten post.

I think the rest of the thread missed the biting satire. Which adds to it I think.

Such a bad era when schools/every thing felt compelled to write that woke word salad garbage. It should burn those that bent the knee to the phony virtue signaling
