[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bullis defeated Episcopal 54-22 yesterday, to win the IAC banner outright.  I was at the game (along with my children)...no fights, good sportsmanship, positive student fans singing the Alma Mater.  To the OP, I am sorry for your experience at the game a few weeks back.  Please know that our experience (in LS, MS, and US) has been characterized by a wonderful commitment to equity and diversity at this school.  [/quote]

It is nice to see someone from Bullis take accountability on this. The endorsement seems sincere and solid, too. That said, there is a smelliness to the Bullis athletic department and its recruitment practices that cannot be ignored. Bullis plays Prep this week. This is particularly ironic because it was the whining of Bullis a few years back that led to Prep's removal from the IAC for football competition. Now, Bullis has forged its own "reputation" for getting in high performing athletes late in their high school careers. All of these recruiting machinations taint the Bullis IAC banner. Too bad for the kids, but there is a lesson here, too. [/quote]
