Maroon win![/quote]

Has the sun set on PVI? Very weak finish to end the year. And no JV team. What’s going on out there?[/quote]

That's precisely the problem. The new campus is so far away it will limit the depth. Good school but will have a real challenge attracting families to head that way when there are so many more choices closer to the beltway. [/quote]

PVI was 98% Loudoun players the last two seasons and did fine. New coach and recruiting will help build the team. [/quote]

Look at where the players are headed to college from each of those rosters and there's a trend. What about JV? I'd also question why they will end up playing 6-7 fewer games. 1-2 came from advancing in WCAC. Another 1-2 will come from not advancing in VA this year. The school will have to be really creative to keep up. Like most schools, the administration and athletic diretcor and coach won't have the skills to come up with solutions other than to give scholarships. It won't work. You need a much larger mass than the 2 basketball players per year. [/quote]

The problem facing PVI is the same problem impacting DMV lacrosse overall. The number of kids who play rec lacrosse is plummeting and there aren’t enough club players to fill Varsity and JV rosters. The best club kids want to go to a very small # of top private school programs. Those schools have huge JV and Varsity rosters. The rest have no JV, little depth on Varsity and can’t compete with top programs. It’s not just PVI. SSSA, Epsicopal, Heights, and STA won’t break thru to top echelon without a dynamic coach that can recruit the small pool of top players[/quote]

PVI performed better with old Coach and with Waters before that.  The current coach needs a bit more time but lets be honest.  He has been coaching the same kids for a few years in club and performed the same.  They are just not that good and he hasn't been able to get more out of them at the school.  He had to step away from club (VLC) so will the new coach be able to get more out of these boys.  The me ball style of play for the cameras is all they are good at doing at this point.  If they would focus on team ball maybe they could get get some wins but depth and style of play will not get it down against the likes of GZ, SJC, DM or any of the IAC schools.  Under the old coaches they had some success vs Landon and Prep.  But No JV team is really not uncommon these days.  Not everyone plays lax like we think.  [/quote]
