1. Bullis (7-1): The Bulldogs will go as far as their 2025 class can take them. A major IAC battle with rival Landon looms this Friday, but first don't sleep on North Carolina power Cardinal Gibbons.

2. Landon (6-2): Da Bears have depth on the offensive side of the ball this Spring and their defense is playing locked down. Bullis on deck. Despite not being the most physically imposing squad, the Bears are extremely athletic.

3. Gonzaga (4-4): Eagles picked up a huge W over Jesuit rival, GP last week. Have the Eagles finally turned the corner?

4. Georgetown Prep (5-3): The Hoyas have been a bit inconsistent this year and blowing leads late in the 4th quarter is never a good sign. On a bright side, Ciaran McCleary (Hopkins signee), has had a phenomenal season thus far for GP. The Hoyas will steam-roll IAC foe St Stephens later this week.

5. St Johns (1-4): Great victory over Taft last week. The young Cadets appear to have found their stride playing a close game with LI power Saint Anthony's. An interesting test with PVI the week of 4/8 will be a game to follow.

6. Good Counsel (7-1): HC Dane Smith could be up a potential coach of the year recognition if the Falcons find away to sneak into the WCAC 'ship in May. Solid win over DeMatha last week. Falcons won't be tested these next two weeks until a date with SJC in the middle of the month.

7. PVI (6-1): Hard to gauge how strong this PVI squad is. Good win over Ponte Vedra from Florida. The Panthers won't be tested until they face-off against SJC next week.

8. St Albans (6-6): The Bulldogs played Gilman close for one half and ran out of gas. DeMatha on deck for this Wednesday will be a game to follow.

9. DeMatha (4-2): Similar to PVI, hard to assess how strong this Stags team is this Spring. DeMatha's teams are always filled with athletes though.

10. Episcopal (4-3): The loss last week to Potomac from the MAC is a head scratcher. The Maroon are in a complete re-build this year.

Some general observations...

After a month of game results, observing comparative scores, the IAC is a three-horse race between Bullis, Landon and GP. Episcopal and St. Stephens are struggling this year and appear to be way down. My bet is Landon and GP will find away back to the IAC finals in May.

Things are a bit more interesting in the WCAC. While the league is down, four teams appear capeable of making a run at the WCAC title. I'm betting the Purple Eagles will make their way back to the WCAC ship but will be fun to watch who they have a date with - SJC, PVI or even GC.

One thing is for certain, the picture will becmore more clear over the next few weeks.

Good insight as always, thank you.

Thoughts on DeMatha vs St Albans this afternoon?

Pathetic of the Prep administration for not allowing a game this year between the Lil Hoyas and the Cadets.

You have inside knowledge that SJC was willing and able to play Prep, and Prep could have scheduled the game, but the admins at Prep squashed it? I know you can't burn your sources but please oh please give us a hint who your mole is.

So much for the MIAA bias. St. Paul's beats both Landon and Bullis but is somehow not ranked because they lost to #23 St. Ignatius? Guess it doesn't matter. After Landon-Bullis game only one IAC team will be ranked.

St. Ignatius won't be around for very long, they are losing 17-2 near the end of the third quarter against Lawrenceville and have to play Chaminade in a couple of days.

Keep bragging about your precious school and how much better the academics are. Colleges don't give a crap whether you graduated from STA / GP / SJC / GC, etc... Go to whichever school is the best fit for your child. A 4.0+ student at one school looks the same as another 4.0+ student at another school. Unless you are a legacy, college admissions don't care. Lacrosse coaches definitely don't care which you school you graduate from - only your talent on field. Keep paying $50k+ Independent verses $30k for Catholic.

Haha true. If you can straight up ball out and you got B’s/B+ the coaches will get you in.

Oh, and if you’re part of the St. Albans music program. [/quote

Lies and the dummies that follow them!

Prep and SJC easily could have found a mutual date to play this week. Its not like SJC has anyone tough for the next week and neither do the Lil Hoyas.

Given how young the Cadets are this Spring / Dunkel being out, Prep would have likely been the favorite this year too.

So much speculation. No one on this board has any idea whether either school reached out to the other, and if they did, that the inability of either to get the game scheduled was on Prep, or on SJC, or mutual. This conversation is beyond pointless.

It's not speculation. The IAC got tired of Speaks directly contacting students and parents and asking them to transfer. The athletic directors of the IAC decided to no longer schedule SJC. Those messages from coach to players/family were shared on this board dozens of pages ago.
