[quote=Anonymous]Neutral Observers Top 10 (DC area privates WCAC / IAC / MAC / NOVA Publics/ Montgomery County Publics)
Week of 3/18

1. Georgetown Prep (3-2): Lil Hoyas have good wins over MIAA foes Loyola Blakefield and Saint Mary's from Annapolis. Hoyas are very well balanced across the field.  Hoyas have a cupcake schedule for the next week with games with Saint James (MAC) and Ryken before a monster game with their Jesuit Rival Gonzaga.

2. Bullis (4-0): The young Bulldogs are off to a 4-0 start but have yet to truly be tested. We will find out how strong this Bullis team is over the next 10 days when they play MIAA traditional powers Loyola Blakefield and St Pauls. Intriguing matchup with Good Counsel looms tomorrow.

3. Landon (2-2): Bears lost heart breaker to national powerhouse Haveford in OT over the weekend. Landon has the athletes they can likely run with anyone this year, however the Bears offense has proven they are too inconsistent. Big matchup tomorrow vs Saint Mary's from Annapolis before a Spring break trip down to the Lone-star State.

4. PVI (4-0): Panthers have raced to a 4-0 record under new Head Coach Schwartz. Good win over Christchurch over the weekend who previously beat the smack out of Saint Stephens. Panthers have an interesting test with Blue Ridge later this week who is a very up-coming program with it Canadian pipeline.

5. Gonzaga (1-2): Purple Eagles have the talent to play with anyone in the country but lack chemistry. Tough loss last week to Saint Mary's of Annapolis on the road. Things don't get any easier for Gonzaga this week with Boys Latin and Culver Prep traveling down to Eye Street. Eagles head down to the Tampa area for Spring break later this week.

6. SJC (0-2): The Cadets have managed 9 goals in two games in this young season. Who will step-out in Dunkels absence?  Brutal week looms ahead with games with Culver Prep and national boarding power, Taft coming into town.

7. Good Counsel (5-0): Dane Smith's Falcons are surprisingly off to a 5-0 start and could act as a dark horse in the WCAC. Intriguing match-up vs Bullis tomorrow which act as a barometer of just how far these Falcons have come.

8. Episcopal (1-1): Tough loss to traditional Philly power Episcopal Academy over the weekend. The Maroon have some pieces but hard to say at this point if they can act as a dark horse in the IAC this year. Big test with PVI later this week which should tell us if this Maroon team can act as contender or pretender in the VISA and IAC.

9. Saint Stephens (1-2): Nice win over Penn Charter this weekend. Tough loss earlier in the week to Christchurch. Saints lack depth this year but history has shown they improve a ton over the course of a season.

10. Riverside (1-): The Leesburg public school power had a great win over 2X defending VA Class 6 State Champion Madison in Overtime last week. Riverside plays St. Albans today which will be an interesting game to follow.

[b]Some general observations thus far in the past 2 weeks.[/b]

Both the IAC and WCAC have not performed well against the MIAA thus far.  Fans can point that this might be a down year for both the IAC and WCAC, and maybe that is true but one thing is very certain, both the WCAC and IAC are wide open this year. The gap in play between teams ranked 1 - 6 is thin this Spring which will make league play more exciting to follow.  These rankings will gradually make more sense as the season pans out and more games are played.

Enjoy and the next rankings will be Monday 4/1.
