Preseason does not matter to anybody but this individual apparently. |

Quick Tweak to the Pre-Season Rankings.
(Yes, scrimmages matter) 1. SJC - STAB isn't a DC area team 2. PVI - manhandles the early season 3. GP - room to move up 4. Landon - we hear you about the fogo 5. GC - Spaulding, yeesh 6. Bullis - dark horse 7. GZ - not done yet 8. STA - missing players but coming together 9. Episcopal - have some good transfers 10. DeMatha - still have a couple pieces HM Heights - loss of wppoy seems to have really, really hurt Publics - Langley, Yorktown, Robo. Someone will reveal themselves |
PVI historically is firing on all cylinders in the early part of the season and generally fades after March. Until someone from the IAC beats Landon, it's hard to rank a team ahead of the Bears. Give Hilgy another year or two to get his "players" in at GP, and the Lil Hoyas will be on Culver's level with the nationwide recruiting for its dorm. Local Catholic families are already looking elsewhere. Don't count out the DeMatha Stags this season. Sure they graduated a ton in 2024, but they are well coached, always scrappy, and won't go down easily I'll take Gonzaga over Good Counsel any day, the Purple Eagles are better coached. The Eagles might not have the talent this year as they have had in past years, but I'll give them the mental edge. |
Ok, I'm willing to let a lot slide but Gonzaga is definitely not better coached than Good Counsel. That's clearly someone not familiar with Coach King. |
| Dane can recruit and assemble teams... but cannot coach the talent. This coming from someone who had a son play for him. |

Bullis 6 - McDonogh 8 through 3 qtrs. |

DeMatha is going to struggle this spring
Landon up 9-1 at halftime and I don’t think the bears are particularly strong this year. |
| Dematha kept starters in the entire game... |
| Except goalie |
Had to. DeMatha barely has 20 players on the roster. |
|
What is up with DeMatha ?
How do you go from winning the ship last year to getting crushed by an average Landon squad? |
Simple, IAC vs WCAC |
| Except goalie |
