The rankings above look about right to me. The margin between the top 4 teams is razor-thin. Prep having two consecutive blown-out losses is a bit concerning. There is no shame in losing to Malvern Prep who is the consensus #1 in the Country but the way in which the Hoyas are losing is alarming. The loss of Loyola Blakefield at home was pitiful. Turnovers, can't clear, and the offense is stagnant. |
| Switch DeMatha and PVI. DeMatha is better. |

Didnt PVI beat Saint Mary’s and DM lose to the Saints?
The ranking will begin to make more sense after this first month of the spring. |
It was the way Prep lost and MP clearly ran its full bench mid-way thru the 3rd quarter and then had non-defenders playing defense and same with its offense. Not just a better team but better athletes and could have been far worse. Also, Bullis will get absolutely worked this week by Spalding who probably should be the #1 team in the country, and AS will win the MIAA. Given last week's and weekend's matches, I think the rankings based on games played are more likely: 1. Bullis 2. Landon 3.SJC 4. DeMatha 5. Gonzaga 6. PVI 7. GP 8. EHS/GC 9. SSSAS 10. St Alban's |
Gonzaga is better than DeMatha. I cant even recall the last time the Stags beat the Eagles. GZ has played a tougher schedule thus far too. Eagles have Culver this week before heading out to Southern Cal to face some quality opponents. |
| Bullis beat Spalding last year and didn’t lose much roster. I wouldn’t count them out. |
I am taking all 4 of the publics listed on the original list over SSSAS and Albans. |
| I think St Stephens might be better than peeps are giving them credit for. |
Prolly true *eventually*, new coach gets grace, those teams tend to have a steep improvement curve in years 1-2, but they've not played quality teams, so for now this seems like a fair ranking. |
Landon is pitiful. Living on last year. |
SJC gets the nod at 2 based on the Gilman game comparison. Same goes for swapping DM and PVI with GZ above them both based on history. GP can climb once the local schedule starts. The VA schools can hash it out at the end of the season in the VISAA champs. The Heights has to be given a little love with the same comparable win against Bolles(FL) as GZ's. |
