[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, if we are going to put the holy alliance of Mater Dei/Georgetown Prep under the microscope, let me posit that Landon's approach to sports is more "sportsmanlike" than what I have seen from MD and GP over the years. MD and GP have institutionalized the "hold back" approach to put  more "mature" players on their teams. Why? To win more games, of course. This practice at MD is particularly distasteful at the middle school level where MD's boys will tower over the smaller boys who are the right age for their grade. The GP lax coach is a well known bully who also has a leadership role at MD. His bellicose manner at games is worth watching - the disdain for his own players is appalling. On the field, I have seen dirty play from GP's teams at a much more regular rate than I have ever seen from Landon's teams. Especially if the GP team is not so talented, the late hits are more frequent and the taunting/bad behavior more pronounced. So, as a supporter of a school that often comes up short to Landon and GP, I would rather see our boys stick it to GP than against Landon. Beat Landon -- Crush Prep. [/quote]

+1.  MD's approach to redshirting is truly appalling.  I'd much sooner send my boys to Landon.  [/quote]
