With that said, Robo, Riverside and Madison would likely all beat the smack out of the bottom teams from the WCAC (Ryken, Ireton, O'Connell etc etc.).

Shifting over to Maryland, Severna Park and Broadneck from Anne Arundel are pretty damn good - I know in recent years they have both beat DeMatha. I'm pretty sure Severna Park played Landon not too long ago and it was a pretty tight game too and has knocked off Severn in recent years as well.

Ireton did well v these teams in the fall league. They beat Robo and lost to Madison by 1. Yeah it is fall but as others have mentioned if the played NCAA rules that would benefit BI. Either way it would not be accurate to say they could beat the smack out of Ireton. They are probably at the same level as Ireton and a long way from PVI.

You could have stopped at "it is fall".
No one said shot clock rules would favor BI but you.
Last year, PVI was bounced in their 1st game in the quarters so they might not remember how the VISAA playoffs went. Blue Ridge won, walking through all Private-1 competition.

Blue Ridge beat PVI earlier in the year, also also played 2 publics. They got doubled up + by VA public (Atlee) and almost the same by Charlotte area Lake Norman. This, the #1 private in Virginia. Outta here with that nonsense.

What this really says is visaa isn’t really a true picture and that the pvi super26’s were too young or not as good as people want them to be. Bullis is having the same thing going on.

Or it was a true picture of 2024 and the VA private school acolytes should hold their horses on drum beating and see how the year goes.

Why do that when we have DCUM?

Any other private v public matchups other than Bullis v Urbana and Landon v Riverside? Still more than a few schools out there without schedules posted.

Landon always makes the offer to play the top public state champs in VA and MD. Several years back, Oakton won the state championship and then played Landon and lost by 15. A couple of years ago Madison plays Landon at Madison with the no shot clock rule and all Madison did was runaround and kill the clock and waste time so the loss was only 8-3. The following year Madison was suppose to go to Landon to play and they bailed…wonder why lol! That would have been a 15 goal loss for the VA state champs with the shot clock in full effect. So yea, some of us do know what we’re talking about, but keep up the good fight public daddy from Robinson. And now we can at least come to some agreement that I do agree your state champs could compete with the bottom of the barrel in the WCAC and the IAC…bravo for that! And Severna Park has never come close to beating Landon although they are a fantastic team and would crush the VA public’s all day long.

Back to you VA public’s haha! Even in the summer league that most of the college commits play in you can see that even the best public players are on average significantly inferior to the better private players. It’s no knock on anyone but when you’ve been playing public competition for four years you’re not going to be at the same level as those private schools players who are playing a top 20 national schedule. ITS JUST NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!

I appreciate Bullis scheduling Urbana but not quite sure why they are doing a weekend in Delaware to play 2x.

I don't think anyone here thinks any VA public can beat Landon or any of the top privates. The talent gap is too wide.

For the record, Madison played Severa Park last year and lost 8-7. They weren't even the top VA public and they didn't exactly get crushed.

It was 7-3 final including a garbage late goal for Landon and 4 to 3 heading into the 4th. Guess they don't have coaches that can design a pressure D to get the ball back?

You only know the shot clock rules because I told you, so I highly doubt you know how or why any game might've even happened or was discussed, let alone was proposed. But you do you.

You have a different definition of several than the rest of the world, as Oakton/Landon was 6 years ago now. Wouldn't get too excited about it, as they lost 8 games, didn't even make state playoffs and lost by a greater margin to a VA public. But the score was 6 to 14. To help you with math again, that's 8, not 15. I guess that's how you come up with your useless predictions.

And Landon dad, the only one that's been comparing to the top 4-5 privates is you. We actually acknowledge a difference. You? You're just on here trolling because you haven't been able to buy a bigger boat in a while.

You have zero idea who the best public players are. There are maybe 2 or 3 privates that play a top 20 schedule. And half of those guys sit the bench.
Do the local privates have more than the 5 PLL players from NOVA publics in that league the last year or 2? I'm guessing yea, but curious.

Forget PLL, let';s look at college. IL just released their top 20 list. There are currently local private school kids playing for (and I am sure I missed some):

Princeton
UVA
Yale
Gtown
Penn
Mich
UNC
Harvard
Ohio State
Richmond

Also receiving votes: St Joes, Providence, Loyola, Utah, High Point

I think there are public school players at Gtown and Penn State. Anywhere else in top 20 plus programs?

Its not comparable in quantity of kids placed, but some very good public school kids are playing at top level D1 schools as a result of being on very competitive club teams where they were one of the few publics on their rosters.
Currently there are Va publics at UVA,Gtown, Penn State, Ohio State, 2 at Rutgers, Richmond
Over the last 10 years Riverside and Robinson are outpacing the others on getting kids committed to D1
