[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not impressed and I'm not swayed.

Yes, I am speaking of boys sports.  No disrespect meant to the girls.

Here is the reality.  [b]Potomac very rarely plays the St. Albans, Landons, GPs in the major boys sports (football, basketball, lacrosse, baseball, wrestling, etc.)  because frankly, they would get annihilated. [/b] I'm sorry you refuse to accept that.  Any of the "balanced results" you are claiming, would be coming from the secondary boys sports.  The Potomac AD, who is a great guy, knows this better than anyone.

While you are speaking from the vantage of a "D1 athlete's parent", I am speaking from the vantage point of a son who specifically is not attending Potomac because, among other reasons suited for him,  they have a less than top tier sports program.  Again, this is on a relative basis.

Potomac is an excellent academic school, with a nice athletics program.  But there are a handful of local independent schools with excellent academics [u]and[/u] excellent athletics.  I mean no discredit to Potomac.  Try attending a Landon lacrosse game versus a Potomac one, just as one example.  The differences are huge.[/quote]

You are just flat out wrong.   These schools show up on the schedule quite often.   Just go look at the out-of-conference schedules, let's take Baseball, a current spring sport being played right now -

Potomac beat Wilson HS (public) 6-5
Potomac beat Bishop Ireton 9-7
Potomac beat St Andrews 6-2
Potomac beat Bullis 10-4
Potomac beat SSSAS 9-4
Potomac beat St Andrews 3-2 
Potomac vs Georgetown Prep game on 3/6 was a rainout

That's one season, one sport.

No, they don't play Landon, Prep, and StA every sport every season because they are not in the same conference, but your "very rarely" comment is just dead wrong.   Please get your facts straight.
