[quote=Anonymous]Neutral Observer's Top 10 - Week of April 1st.

1. Bullis (7-1): The Bulldogs will go as far as their 2025 class can take them. A major IAC battle with rival Landon looms this Friday, but first don't sleep on North Carolina power Cardinal Gibbons.

2. Landon (6-2): Da Bears have depth on the offensive side of the ball this Spring and their defense is playing locked down. Bullis on deck. Despite not being the most physically imposing squad, the Bears are extremely athletic.

3. Gonzaga (4-4): Eagles picked up a huge W over Jesuit rival, GP last week. Have the Eagles finally turned the corner?

4. Georgetown Prep (5-3): The Hoyas have been a bit inconsistent this year and blowing leads late in the 4th quarter is never a good sign. On a bright side, Ciaran McCleary (Hopkins signee), has had a phenomenal season thus far for GP. The Hoyas  will steam-roll IAC foe St Stephens later this week.

5. St Johns (1-4): Great victory over Taft last week. The young Cadets appear to have found their stride playing a close game with LI power Saint Anthony's. An interesting test with PVI the week of 4/8 will be a game to follow.

6. Good Counsel (7-1): HC Dane Smith could be up a potential coach of the year recognition if the Falcons find away to sneak into the WCAC 'ship in May. Solid win over DeMatha last week. Falcons won't be tested these next two weeks until a date with SJC in the middle of the month.

7. PVI (6-1): Hard to gauge how strong this PVI squad is. Good win over Ponte Vedra from Florida. The Panthers won't be tested until they face-off against SJC next week.

8. St Albans (6-6): The Bulldogs played Gilman close for one half and ran out of gas. DeMatha on deck for this Wednesday will be a game to follow.

9. DeMatha (4-2): Similar to PVI, hard to assess how strong this Stags team is this Spring. DeMatha's teams are always filled with athletes though.

10. Episcopal (4-3): The loss last week to Potomac from the MAC is a head scratcher. The Maroon are in a complete re-build this year.

[b]Some general observations... [/b]

After a month of game results, observing comparative scores, the [b]IAC [/b]is a three-horse race between Bullis, Landon and GP. Episcopal and St. Stephens are struggling this year and appear to be way down. My bet is Landon and GP will find away back to the IAC finals in May.

Things are a bit more interesting in the [b]WCAC[/b]. While the league is down, four teams appear capeable of making a run at the WCAC title. I'm betting the Purple Eagles will make their way back to the WCAC ship but will be fun to watch who they have a date with - SJC, PVI or even GC.

One thing is for certain, the picture will becmore more clear over the next few weeks.
