[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidwell crush land on in a wrestling match last week and Landon, despite it's UVA recruit barely beat Sidwell in basketball by two points the week before. Sidwell won it's own basketball tournament this weekend. The bashing of Sidwell sports is stupid[/quote]
1.  I doubt the serial Sidwell sports basher is a Landon parent, as I believe Landon's parents probably experienced enough cheap shots after the Huguely murder/Dowd article that they are not out there mud-slinging like this.  
2.  Sidwell's boys and girls' basketball teams won thEir ivitational tournament this weekend and are more than respectable. 
3.  Sidwell's wrestling team is really good; we are an IAC family and their team did beat Landon and would have a good shot at winning the IAC (although Prep, with it's 500 boys, would probably squeak out a win).
4.  As mentioned before, in the fall boys' soccer won their league; Sidwell had the top x-country runner in the area (Ivy bound if he wants, many offers); and girls' soccer had a strong season and is sending their star to Duke.
5.  We are not a Sidwell family, as said before, but the bashing is non-factual and very nasty and tiring to listen to for those with a good knowledge of the private school sports scene.  There Are other schools that focus more on sports but from all I hear, the education at Sidwell is wonderful, and from what I have seen from watching our kids play Sidwell, they are well-coached; seem to enjoy the game; and produce plenty of good college-bound athletes.  Sorry for going on and on but I don't understand the weird obsession, and as someone who cares about girls and boys sports and sports in addition to football, I just got sick of it.[/quote]
