[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whitman is terrible. The only public schools worth mentioning are CHurchill, Wootton, Chantilly and Langely. The rest are LIGHT YEARS behind the MAC privates.[/quote]

Why are the public schools so far behind?[/quote]

There are many reasons.  Private schools (especially the top tier programs) typically have:

Better facilities
Better talent
Better coaching
Play in better leagues against better competition
More kids who have played the game longer and at a higher level

The gap, however, is narrowing.  It used to be that a top public school kid felt compelled to transfer to a private school in order to play with better teammates, face better competition, get more recruiting exposure, etc.

Now that the game is exploding, more and more kids find that they can play for their public school and still get attention via their club team, individual recruiting events, etc.  Northern Virginia is far superior to Montgomery County, but neither can field teams that are competitive with the best private teams in this area.
