I get you have to draw the line somewhere, which Maryland has with 19 vs 20. But the physical safety argument isn’t really borne out by the data on injuries (there’s not a lot, to be fair - kind of a niche area of analysis). The “fairness” argument is more resonant to me anyway, and in that case it opens the door to arguments about playing a soft schedule (publics, non-powers like Maret etc) vs a tough one. From a skill standpoint there isn’t much difference between playing Lawrenceville or Culver than playing Spalding or Calvert Hall (or Haverford or Malvern or the like). If your school schedules these games, and you don’t like it, pull the kid and go to EHS or Potomac or whatever. I don’t get the passion here. There are choices. |
How do you compare Lawrenceville or Culver with the likes of a school like Haverford.
Lawrenceville and Culver have PG programs, are boarding schools and recruit nationwide to feed their programs. Culver and Lawrenceville are the definition of re-class lax factories. I don't see why IAC or WCAC would waste their time playing them as its not an apples to apples comparison |
Some interesting decisions made for all-WCAC accolades this year. |
link? |
Dematha fan? |
Is the logic that if you reclass at any time before graduation then it’s different from graduating and then doing a PG year? I see the distinction but not the difference, but to each his own. |
No just thought how every team got 3 HMs was interesting. 7/10 goalies got something and felt like SJC players were a little over represented especially given injuries. |

How does this work? Do coaches nominate players and there's a vote? |
SJC over hyped once again.
Keep dreaming about 2022 More families are looking to transfer out. |
Coaches meet and vote. Hyper political go to shove all their own kids through. Kinda shocked that they actually got POTY right with that Heights kid. |
That kid was EVERYWHERE. |
Head scratcher pick. |
I don't see how it was a head scratcher at all to be honest. He had like 70 CTOs guarding #1's and scored like every game. Single handledly put a that very mediocre team in a close game against us and a lot of others. |
Him being a POTY made much more sense then the GZ FOGO being first team, the SJC goalie being second team, and generally insane amount of selections SJC had for being mediocre |
