15-6 Prep final, STA apparently lost 3 starters including their D1 pole in the Bullis game. Do not think it decided the game, but could not have helped the score.

I heard GP’s 3rd attackman scored around 7 goals. Considering STA’s lack of depth, the loss of their D1 pole may have been very significant.

Only PVI is positioned to make that claim. One more win.

Do you really think you beat Landon without your entire starting attack group - all of whom board at the school?





Try winning a face off.


Prep beats Landon once and doesn’t know how to act 😂 34 IAC championships > 12 IAC championships, little guy


How many of those championships were from before GP started to take lacrosse seriously? How about over the last 25 years?


GP doesn’t take lacrosse seriously?


They do these days, of course. But prior to the late 90’s the GP teams were were mostly new to the sport and not the better athletes. Giblin was able to turn that around and by 1997 the gap had been closed.

Prior to that Landon had no real competition except for one St Albans team. Boardley had developed lacrosse players starting in the fourth grade and all the bigger, better athletes played. They were essentially unopposed in the IAC and that’s when they racked up a majority of those trophies.

Landon really doesn’t like to lose as them trotting out the all time championships thing.

It’s much less impressive if you know the history.


I think that's a lousy excuse for being behind on IAC titles. But if we go by your logic, GP wasn't a "real" lacrosse program until 1997 under Giblin (who by the way joined GP staff in '88), so let's erase everything that happened up to that point. Since 1997, Landon has won 15 titles and 4 national championships. GP has won 12 (including tonight's win) and 2 national championships. 15 is in fact greater than 12. So regardless of whether or not you want to count anything before '97/beginning of Giblin era, Landon still has the upper hand.


15 vs 12 is hardly dominance. Should take GP three more years to even it up.

Bigger, stronger players beat much physically smaller teams most of the time.

Hah! I love troll posts. Guaranteed to provoke a response and lead to an argument filled with the unprovable.

Next step will be a demand from a handful of fans and parents for a DMV Title game in which the schools have no interest.

I’ll take that bet.

Landon was pretty young this spring and didn’t graduate a stellar senior class.

The Bullis opening will attract a lot of good applicants.

Anyone can come to their own conclusions to fit their narrative. Giblin started at Prep in 1988. So I guess we won’t include those Landon victories or banners because why? Preps varsity teams weren’t ready or good enough? Didn’t take the sport “seriously”, sounds like all lame excuses.

DC area lacrosse is not what it is today if it weren’t what Bordley did at Landon and growing the game in the DMV community. Giblin and then Casey ONeill were the next crop of coaches / pioneers to help establish what the DMV lax scene is today.

Probably, but there is nothing in the pipeline after the 27 class.

If Bullis attracts the right coach they will remain competitive

Lame excuses? Actually it's facts. When Giblin finally got the better GP athletes interested in lacrosse in about 1997 the programs were just about equal. Landon banners prior to that period should have asterisks for being "essentially unopposed". Casey O'Neill was still in high school in 1998.

Why wouldn't they give it to the Next Level assistant coach already on the Bullis staff? He's also a teacher at the school.

Facts according to who???? Some Prep old-timer? Since you know everything about the IAC history, you should remember back in the 80's and early 90's STA and Episcopal fielded competitive programs, but you seemed to forget that part.
