pretty sure this player you are referring to lives in the Bowie area and commuting to and from Bowie to Bullis on a daily basis is no small task.

Perhaps the family wanted a change.

The player that left Bullis does not live in Bowie. Where he does live is 5 mins closer to DeMatha than Bullis. The reason he left was free schooling. Pretty good reason if you ask me.

Don’t understand. The IAC is so much better than the WCAC at getting players in college. Lmao

Former player and coach here and disagree with your statement.

At the end of the day, if you are a very good player, it doesn't matter if you are playing at a St Johns, or a PVI or even an STA or Episcopal, the college coaches will find you. You will likely have the same opportunities regardless if you play for a WCAC or IAC program.

You will have more choices if you keep your academics up.

He’d already committed to college before he left.

So they didn’t really care where he played? Thanks for clearing that up.

With the season right around the corner, and now that most teams have posted their schedules, which programs have really stepped up and put together a tough non-league schedules.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say STA and Gonzaga have really challenged themselves with tough non-league schedules.

Did the IAC boycott SJC? Just Bullis on 4/18? What happened to games against Landon and Prep? Figure they would want a shot at them this year before the loaded 26 class comes of age. Surprised to see no MIAA either. Good games against Hill Academy and St. Anthony's. Episcopal game wasn't competitive last year.

By the way, the JV should play Ryken, DJO, and Ireton. Split up lax in WCAC like they do football and ice hockey. Would be better for kids to schedule more powers than the bottom of WCAC even if SJC ended up dropping a couple of games.

Teams are boycotting SJC because they give $$$$ to players at a rate that is excessive. Also, SJC sends gear/apparel to prospects/recruits.

Sour grapes. Hate the school because we have more money. Geez. Maybe you can have generous and distinguished alumni someday too.

Are we being serious. No coach or school unless directed by leadership will not schedule a game. Nobody cares what kind of swag is given out. If SJC can, good for them. Swag doesn't win games people.

Bullis has proven they will play anyone. Good for them. We welcome them. That'll be the game of the year in the DMV. Two loaded teams battling it out. SJC is the King...to be the King, you got to beat the King!

Not sure why Prep or Landon isn't on SJC's schedule this year, my guess, is both programs are afraid of suffering a "L". In my eyes, the only way to get better as a team is by playing better competition. Also, the MIAA teams also appear to be "ducking" SJC, it's not just the IAC programs. No Calvert Hall or Spalding. Where is Saint Mary's or McDonogh?

I've listed SJC's non-league schedule below. The Cadets can only schedule teams who are willing to play them. I'm sure Wes will play anyone.

Hilly Academy, elite program from Canada, will play anyone as they are desperate for games.
Academy of the New Church, I've never even heard of this program, anyone know anything about them?
Episcopal Academy, coached by PLL coach, very solid program from Philadelphia but not on the same page as Malven Prep or Haverford.
Boys Latin, is always a top 4 program in the MIAA, year in and year out.
St Anonthy's, Long Island Catholic School power, is this game at a neutral site?
Bullis, reigning IAC champion

And fully agree with the previous poster about the WCAC needing to be split up into 2 divisions. Have an upper and lower just like they have in basketball and football. The WCAC commissioner is just too smart though

Yes, the iac has taken exception to sjc recruiting current students. Bullis still has several scholarship kids from the old president so they agreed to play. Sjc might get st. Francis’s soon.

Don’t be silly. Bullis has scholarship kids under the new HC. Many of them do (maybe not St Albans). Perhaps SJC is more aggressive but they all do it. I’m not sure why more IAC teams aren’t playing SJC, but it isn’t because they’re the only ones offering money for athletics.
