Prep cares more about their football program than their lacrosse program


As long as Paro is there, that won’t ever change.

Prep isn’t even close to the same level as Bullis or Landon next season. Give me a break. Prep parents are in for another disappointing season next spring.

I tend to agree with you.

Prep's 2025 and 2026 class are rather weak.

Don’t underestimate the power of transfers.

Great point, but it didn’t help them at all this past spring!

Even with boarding and transfers, Prep is still struggling to stay relevant at this point.

This is funny. Are you saying because the athletic Director who is the football coach is the reason why prep lacrosse is up and down?

Does prep have any impact transfers coming in this fall?

Both Prep and Gonzaga are fairly deep in terms of numbers, but maybe a little light in terms of high impact players in the 26-28 classes with a few notable exceptions, particularly in the 26 class.

Landon has good depth across all three classes, but it’s best younger players are in the very strong 27 class.

GC is thin, but strong. If you cobble together the three classes, you can see a strong starting group.

Bullis is crazy thin, but has some high impact players in the 26-28 classes, although most starters will come from the very strong 25 class next year.

Not a ton of high end talent in the 26-28 classes at STA, but some decent depth.

PVI is fairly good in 26, moderate in 28, and very thin in 27.

SSSAS has very little. Same with DeMatha. Who knows what transfers will happen with Episcopal?

So I’d rank the schools as follows in terms of 26-28 strength.

Tier 1 - loaded
1. SJC

Tier 2 - lots of good lacrosse players
2. Landon
3. Prep
4. Gonzaga

Tier 3 - some really good talent but thin. Would not be surprised if these schools are above tier 2 some years.
5. GC
6. Bullis
7. PVI

Tier 4 - Enough players to win a game here or there against Tier 1-3, but those will be rare.

8. STA

Tier 5 - have some lacrosse players but not enough to compete with the top teams

Episcopal, DeMatha, SSSAS, Heights, Potomac, SAES, St. James.

DeMatha returns their entire team - a team that almost beat SJC 2x last season

The idea that STA is any better than Epsicopal, Dematha, SSSA is laughable. And what’s the point of even mentioning Heights, SAES, and St James? They are totally irrelevant to any meaningful conversation about DMV lax

You are missing the context. Someone asked of a rundown of the classes from 26-28 and the relative strength. DeMatha has a good team for next year -25 class is very strong. but there isn’t a ton there right now 26-28. This isn’t a ranking of teams for next year and excludes the 25 class. A ranking of teams strength next year would be different.

A ranking of the teams next spring would look like this:

Tier I:

SJC, Landon Bullis:

Tier II:
Gonzaga, Prep:

Tier III:
GC, Episcopal, PVI, DeMatha, STA

Tier IV:
The Heights, St Stephens, Saint James, Ryken, Potomac School

WCAC
1. Gonzaga
2. DeMatha
3. Good Counsel
4. PVI
5. SJC.

Gonzaga with their Tufts style offense is too much for the rest of the WCAC.
DeMatha returns everything
Good Counsel will bring in a few transfers
PVI returns everything
SJC is overrated and the coach is average.
