[quote=Anonymous][quote]Bottom line when considering these IAC rankings for this year and moving forward, whether you like it or not, Landon and GP are both completely stacked at the younger classes. Those two will rule the IAC for years to come, this year is up in the air. I know it was a fall tourney, but Gonzaga looked absolutely horrific. Other than their LSM, that team could barley catch the ball and got absolutely rocked by Taft! Meanwhile, Landon played Taft minus a bunch of offensive players and started two freshman all while barely losing in a very very physical game against Taft. Bullis beat Taft in the final...enough said. This might be Bullis’ year but after that it’s all down hill, way way down hill. Gonzaga’s time has past![/quote]

Hard to determine if Gonzaga's "best days" are behind him. They school really benefited when the economy tanked in 2007 - 2009 and saw a major influx in applicants and the quality of applicants. The school pulls from a very wide geographical area and has the enrollment (close to 1,000 boys)  to field a very competitive team year in and year out.

Fast forward to today, Mater Dei pipeline seems now to have swung back to Georgetown Prep's favor and not to mention the rise of SJC. Gonzaga boosters have a hard time coming to terms with this but SJC is certainly scooping up some very talented players who could have ended up at Eye Street.  Its great for the WCAC to finally have a  program who can run and challenge Gonzaga. For almost a decade,  the Eagles hardly face any stiff competition from their league other than PVI or DeMatha from time to time.

I think after this year, DC lacrosse landscape will become 4 team race with GP and Landon from the IAC and Gonzaga and SJC from the WCAC. Bullis will gradually begin to fade after this (their 2021 class is loaded but not much in the cabinet after they graduate). The ew Headmaster at Bullis the polar opposite of Gerald Boarman who was sports. obsessed.  I've been told Landon has some very strong underclasses and seems to be building but it will be interesting to see who they name as the next head coach.
