[quote=Anonymous]As someone with no connection to either school, let me relate an old/recent observation.

Last year, the IAC lacrosse championship took place at Prep and Landon won by a goal.  As the game wound down, you could see Prep students starting to mass around the turf - clearly gathering to "protect their turf".  Sure enough, when the game ended, these Prep students ran onto the turf.  As you would expect, many Landon students stormed the field, but they celebrated with the team off to the side.  Something happened I've never seen before - a few Prep officials (I think it may have been the Prep AD) stood on the Prep logo, again to "protect it".

This year, the championship was held at Landon, who was the favorite going in.  In a thrilling game, Prep won in OT.  As you can see from this video, the Prep supporters had no problem storming Landon's field and dancing.  Nobody from Landon protected their logo.

I don't think Landon is perfect and I'm not suggesting the Prep is necessarily an inferior school.  But the reactions by Prep in both years say a lot about their supporters.
