[quote=Anonymous][quote]Manifesto McRant: I've had it. I am so tired of what appears to be one mean-spirited poster targeting one school and, for the most part, one team.

Who am I? I am not a Sidwell parent. I am not a Sidwell graduate. I don't have children who play football. I do have kids who play sports at other DC-area independent schools. I do have good friends who graduated from Sidwell, and a couple who teach at Sidwell. I do think it is incredibly nasty to constantly harp on the fortunes of one team of high school kids, some of whom are as young as 14, mocking their efforts when unsuccessful under the mantle of criticizing the "state of Sidwell athletics." I believe that as much fun as crazy DCUM world is, occasionally it would be good to lock a thread, but I get that that is not the policy and I respect that it's a policy that has worked well for this very successful site.

So, I am going to start posting results of other Sidwell sports teams in this thread, and lots of them. And I'm going to bump other threads up when the Sidwell Football Stalker posts their usual mean-spirited responses.

Sorry, but I'm just tired of reading this stuff for a year.[/quote]

I am not Manifesto McRant, but I totally agree with his/her attitude and annoyance.  Every time I see this thread near the top of page 1, I will post the most recent successes of the various Sidwell teams.  New regional and national rankings come out on Tuesdays, so look for updates tomorrow.  I predict Sidwell girls soccer will crack the top 30 in the nation, and Sidwell boys soccer will be top 4 in the DMV region.[/quote]
