[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]11:07, do you really want to go there?  I'm glad you decided to pick out a couple of select games to "substantiate" your position.  Now, here are the actual historical results of Potomac against Landon, St. Albans, and Georgetown Prep, since 2004, in the major boys sports of basketball, football, baseball, lacrosse, and wrestling.  To help you out, I even included their results agains the secondary tier IAC opponents they have faced (St. Stephens St. Agnes and Episcopal) since they are fairer game.  All of these historical results are posted directly on Potomac's web site.  Records are provided by sport, with the number of Potomac wins first and then the IAC teams wins second:

Baseball        2-2
Basketball     3-9
Football         0-1
Wrestling       0-3
Lacrosse       3-13
Total Potomac record vs. IAC: 8-28, a .222 winning percentage.

Maybe we should start pulling from some of the other sports?  Like boys tennis, where Potomac lost to both St. Albans and Prep, just yesterday.

Ask your AD.  There is a reason he usually doesn't schedule teams from the IAC for non-conference games.  So, who's clueless and flat our wrong now?  That's the good thing about athletics.  You can always cut through the emotion with actual statistics.  I suggest you stick to your games against Sidwell, Georgetown Day, Maret, etc.  You are have a great academic program at Potomac and a nice athletic experience.[/quote]

I was never very good at math, but this information seems only to show that in 36 contests in various sports, Potomac won 8 and the three other schools combined won 28.  If you divide the 28 by 3, the three schools average 9.3 wins each.  So we're really talking about 8 wins (Potomac) vs. 9.3 wins (for each of the other three schools), right?

If that's the case, then I don't see how the other schools are that much more impressive athletically.  Again, I don't have a dog in this fight as I'm just looking for information about possible schools for my not yet K'er.
