Are you alleging that there are players on The St James high school football team that have already graduated? I’m not talking a post grad team. I’ve seen that they have a post grad basketball team which is completely separate from the high school team. I don’t believe they would mix graduates into the same team that that the high schoolers play on. But the WCAC schools are full of athletes who have reclassed twice. It’s very possible a team of post grad players could actually be younger than one your better WCAC teams. Parents and athletes will do anything these days to try and get attention from college coaches. |
PVI’s leading scorer from their summer league just transferred to Gillion. That’s interesting. |
The Washington Post doesn’t dignify their team either, as there outside the top 20 locally, but top 100 nationally. |
Wouldn’t put much stock in that. They have been playing against other unknown teams so it’s hard for the post writers to gauge. If they beat Good Counsel and the post still doesn’t recognize St James, I will then agree. There are a lot of undefeated local teams the post hasn’t put in that top 20. |
| Good Counsel is getting slaughtered |
Not in life skills and actually being educated. |
| I think it’s a new era for high school sports. The wcac schools are no longer the best in sports. The best players are going to be attending schools where they can focus getting in shape for college sports and academics will be secondary. |
Good Counsel, is the 3rd ranked team in the Washington Post. The dominant performance against them should get St James some more recognition. I don’t think St James will beat St Francis though |
There is an article in in today’s post with the title "St James has arrived”. Since the just annihilated the #3 team, I wouldn’t be surprised if they end being #1 or #2 this season. Definitely in the top ten on Tuesday. |
Yea they have at least one kid who graduated HS in 2025. Sitting on the bench next to walt webbs twin. |
Webb is coaching the post grad team. If you are talking about the Webb’s team, the entire team has graduated and doing an extra year for college prep. Webb’s not coaching the team that will play in the Nike Scholastic Conference. |
Nope, talking about the team one of his twins that Webb is reclassing plays on and he is the assistant coach for (I think the head coach might be a convicted felon?). This kid was playing https://www.gofundme.com/f/a-determined-studentathlete-reach-collegechase-his-dreams |
| Where are their team rosters publicly posted? |
The kid you are talking about is not on the Nike Scholastic teams roster. He’s probably not even good enough. https://www.maxpreps.com/va/springfield/the-st-james-performance-academy-strivers/basketball/roster/ |

The high school game I saw, he played. Webb's kid was on the bench. Webb was not the head coach.
Since you wre so knowledgeable, post both sers of rosters. Easy enough to see if they are putting grown adult men who should be years into college into high school games. |
