Bullis Lacrosse Situation

[Anonymous]

Bullis administrations looks silly for getting in bed with Bethesda Lacrosse / DCE now. The school is clearly desperate for money.

Looks like JB and his alumni and Senior parent friends won the day. He will be back this week.

Way to cave Bullis Board! Folded like a cheap tent from an alumni base that has zero interest in the school; only JB. And then then you throw your Headmaster and his administration under the bus for doing what they felt was best.

Hope he figures out to get some more players and actually coach them up! We will see who was right in a few years.

Maybe you are an insider to the current situation but has the school issued a statement or sent out an email?

Bullis has finished #3 and #10 nationally 2 out of 3 years. Bellistri knows what he's doing.

Hopefully DCE and Megill and never allowed at Bullis again.

What was the beef between JB and the assistants?

One of the DCE partners is a current Bullis teacher. It will be interesting to see if he actually coaches next Spring if Bellistri is head coach, should make for an interesting dynamic.

Wow - you sound like a a rejected DCE coach..actually a bit pathetic. Maybe Bullis is actually standing up for core values and rejecting dirty DCE extortion tactics? Success breeds jealousy - success that was not at the hands of DCE despite delusional misinformation.

Bullis was way over hyped this year. They played a terrible schedule, actually one of the weaker schedules for any team listed in the national rankings.

Your best win was against a “down” Landon squad, who lost to St. Albans this year. I’m still searching my head why Bullis was even ranked in the top 20 this year, maybe if they had knocked off Gonzaga would they merit a top 15 ranking but I just don’t see it.

The whole point of non-league games is to prep for the IAC conference and win. If mission accomplished, then strength of schedule is either irrelevant or was the right equation, right? And Bullis played 5 games against teams ranked in the top 25 nationally. Landon played 6 games against teams in top 25. Bullis beat Landon and won IAC. Everyone has down years - stop making excuses for Landon.

BTW, DCE coaches stop posting.

And Landon beat Bullis to win the conference regular season.

Who actually won the ship? Go away, Bearth.

Bizarre to witness the insecure need by (presumably) adults to make disparaging comments about other schools. Is this what they teach at the school you/your children attend? Is this what you say to and teach your children? Your comments are a reflection of you, not the school you are trying to drag down. I'm not even from Bullis but I think the nasty (and slightly racist) comments say a lot about people who clearly are not part of the Bullis family.

Who actually won the ship?

The IAC crowns their champions in such an odd way as the regular seasons counts for one half of the banner and the IAC Tournament count for the 2nd half of the IAC banner. Both have an equal proportional amount of weight.

With that being said, Landon won the regular season banner and Bullis won the IAC Tournament, both teams ended up as co-champions this season. I much rather see a winner take all format similar to how most leagues crown their conference champions.

Hopefully, in the coming years, both the WCAC and IAC will extend the season by another week. Take the winner of the WCAC and the winner of the IAC tournament and play a DC Metropolitan Lacrosse Championship for area bragging rights.

Actually Bullis and Landon shared the regular season title with similar 4 - 1 records. Landon received the #1 seed based on head-head tiebreaker, but both team shared the regular season banner. Bullis also earned another portion of the banner by winning the IAC tournament. The IAC banner will in fact name Landon and Bullis as co-champions.
