Landon, G Prep and STA academics. Please rank and why.

Actually they won't. That attitude is the problem.

You need to work on your personal "Prep envy" problem.

Concentrate on Gonzaga's real problem, the rise of St John's. Forget Prep.

I do recall attending a prep - landon lacrosse game 3 - 4 years ago and the prep student sections were chanting homophobic / anti gay remarks during the game. I understand these are high school kids and some times kids feed off the emotions of the game and mob Mentality can take over during games (this applies to all student sections) . What disgusted me more about this episode during a Prep athletic competition, is there were two prep faculty members standing right next to the prep cheering section and they didn't have "guts" to shush up the Prep crowd when it was pretty obvious to the comment observer they were chanting anti gay remarks. It was rather disappointing to see.

Ah, yes. When faced with another report of boorish behavior by Landon boys, resort to the, "Well, everybody else does it" defense. Typical deflect and deny.

Ah, yes. When faced with a report of boorish behavior by someone at a school other than Landon, resort to the accusation that the poster is trying to deflect attention from Landon and repeat your own generalized mantra that ALL Landon boys will be SAT-cheating, misogynistic, unsportsmanlike thugs because that broad brush accusation suits your desired narrative. After all, if boys from other schools behave boorishly then it challenges your claim that there is something fundamentally different about Landon and it's students.

prep is a more balanced academic v. Sports experience

No question, #1 is STA.

Distant second is Landon.

Prep would be third.

Than STA? LOL.

STA has the strongest academics of the 3 but not the strongest athletic teams.

Both Prep and Landon have strong academics and pretty competitive athletic teams and sports are part of the schols culture. (it depends on the year)

Obviously Prep and STA are religious affilaited while Landon is not.

Interestingly, so far this fall St. Albans has two league championships and neither Prep nor Landon have any.

league championships in what this Fall?

Episcopal won the league in soccer I believe.

Bullis won the league in football (that is a whole seperate discussion in itself)

Did STA win the IAC banner in Cross Country?

In the IAC soccer, the banner is shared if there is a different regular season winner and tournament winner. (And this seems to change every year -- and maybe by sport -- some years/sports it is tournament only (as in IAC lacrosse, in recent years, maybe?), but in soccer this for the last several years it is shared unless the same team wins both and "unifies" the title.) St. Albans won the regular season so they share the banner with Episcopal, which won the tournament.

Bullis won the IAC in football.

St. Albans also won the banner in cross-country.

So the iAC essentially hands out a trophy to a team that didn't even make it Ito iac tournament finals.

The best team in the iac this fall for soccer was episcopal . They won the games when they most mattered - the end of the season.

Its a joke to say sta won the iac banner for soccer when they didn't even make it to the championship .
