[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know that the soccer success for schools like St Albans, Landon and Dematha certainly do much for school/community spirit, good press, etc.

But I know of no other school in the area where the soccer team is so intertwined with the soul of the school as that for WIS![/quote]

Yes, WIS seems like it has a great soccer atmosphere.  Very skilled boys' team and amazing support from the rest of the school.

Although maybe they can get too intense?  When I stayed to watch the first half of boys' DCSAA championship last year after watching the girls championship at Georgetown, I had to move my seat away from some shrieking WIS parents who seemed unhinged even for a sporting event.  They were freaking out about imaginary fouls, arguing sideline calls (!), and it wasn't a particularly good look coming from adults (also I feared eardrum rupture).

I guess the moral of the story is that even sophisticated European/American cosmopolitans can act like boors when it comes to sports.[/quote]
