[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to the latest WP HS ranking two public schools in the top 5.  Are you claiming this is fake news?[/quote]

WP rankings are not based on any real system other than wins and losses - in other words, regardless of who they play.  Play the weakest teams around and beat them all and you too can have your team ranked number one in the Post.  Do a search and read up on it.  Its widely known.  WP team rankings are complete bs created to make public schools feel better about their sports teams.[/quote]

Well what do you know Inside Lacrosse also had two public schools in the top 5 for VA.  I guess they are BS as well:

Rank	Team	W	L	Rating
1	St Christopher's	17	0	94.84
2	Briar Woods	12	0	94.39
3	St Anne's-Belfield	9	6	92.19
4	Riverside	12	2	91.93
5	Norfolk Academy	15	4	91.8

Before you bother posting about this is VA only and does not count, St Christopher's is up there with any DMV area team and played a tough schedule to prove it.  I do think this year that Briar Woods is a legit top 5 team.  Public schools will never compete for top spot with private schools as they get players from a much wider area.  Lacrosse in DMV is all about the clubs.  The teams have ties to private schools and manage to get the best players to go there.  Some parents decide to save the money for college and use the club to get recruited.  It is about the ability of a private school to get as many talented players as possible to the school.  This recruiting takes place through the club team.  This is not an option for Public Schools.  [/quote]

It doesnt count.  Neither appear in any national rankings, and VA has the worst lacrosse in the Mid-Atlantic by far.  Plus, as for the priavte St Chris, it has not played a "tough schedule" as its hasn't met a single top teams from north of DC (Kiski Prep in PA doesnt cpount - they suck).  Sure, they beat SSSAS boys but so have a lot of teams this year.  Give it up.[/quote]
