[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the Landon - Prep rivarly has died down significantly in the past 5 years.

I remember in the 90's you would often hear about big weekend fights at parties. They probably should have stopped playing one another in football and lacrosse back then.

Nowadays, too many kids from these schools play with one another on the same club lacrosse or hockey team.

The lacrosse rivalry is not what it was because Prep has left Landon behind in recent years, and will continue. The vitriol rocket fuel is to be competitive, and Landon's psyche as an institution is tied to the lacrosse successes, of which there have been few in the recent years. When your kid goes to Prep and athletics don't drive great outcomes, it is still a great education that will get you matriculated to a better school than same GPA at a public school. When your kid goes to Landon and lacrosse does not drive great outcomes, what happened is you get a public school equivalent education with a $35K lacrosse fee.

Start naming all the Ivy, Stanford or little Ivies admits from Landon who are NOT lacrosse players. The matriculation numbers with the lax bros pulled show a lot worse than the public schools in BCC. 'Nuff said.[/quote]

Here's Prep's matriculation list with actual student's names:  http://www.gprep.org/page.cfm?p=1142

Here's Landon's "select" matriculation list. I guess they don't like to publicize the heavy proportion of tier 4 schools their graduates attend every year:

Actually Landon doesn't publish their list till graduation. This has names as well.

Landon sends 9.9% of its grads to Ivies and 25.9% to "Strong Schools" (US News Top 25 Universities/Top 30 Liberal Arts Colleges)
Georgetown Prep sends 6.5% of its grads to Ivies, but 28.7% to "Strong Schools," even more impressive when one considers that Georgetown, Boston College, Holy Cross probably fall outside the Top 25.
St. Albans sends 21.2% of its grads to Ivies and 51.4% to Strong Schools.

These numbers would all decline if one could remove recruited athletes from the data, probably a greater % drop at Landon and GP than STA.  But the sports facilities at the two MD schools would make your jaw drop.
