Milton plays the mighty Potomac tomorrow. Will they bounce back after that loss to GC?

The decline is after the 26 class, not currently. The 27s and 28s will not be bringing much to the table to help.


This. She put most of the very talented 26s on varsity as freshman to prepare to win a championship their junior or senior year. Whether that happens or not, she celebrates 55 years next year and probably goes out on a high note with the 26 class.


I agree with this take. She will also be turning 75 end of next season by my math. There will be huge drop off after the 2026s. Would she want to end her career rebuilding after so much success? I doubt it.


Can you imagine what the coaching search would look like? Talk about big shoes to fill . . .


Isn’t that why they brought Bill Lewis in to coach JV for a few years? I thought he was the replacement for KJ when she steps down

Potomac has national level talent coached by mediocre coaches.


That is nothing new for Potomac. Hopefully that school will finally get the message. Lacrosse coaching does not necessary run in the family.

Every girl on the Saints offense is a threat. There are 3 or 4 that go to goal more than others but that does not mean others are not threats. Game will come down to endurance in the 4th as neither team seems to sub a lot.


So is Potomac. Every girl gets a touch and everyone is a threat. These girls have built such a cute/tight knit bond. One hit wonder type of team though.


Get over yourself, mom, they're not THAT good.

Saints aren’t hiding behind anything. They schedule in a way they believe the girls will be at their peak come playoff time.

As long as KJ is still leading the helm, parents will still send their daughters there.

She is hands down the best coach in the women's game this area has ever seen.

Love her or hate her, when you look at her results, and the consistency of the program over the past 40+ years, its truly remarkable.

Unfortunately they have to play teams like Potomac because they are in same conference. As much as you’d like to replace that game with a better opponent league rules require the matchup.

I’m kidding. Potomac is a great team. They could still win the league and state. Your question in the other hand is silly. Which is why it got a silly response.

Every other team has at least a few (very good) freshmen in their starting line up and the Saints freshmen are all on JV. 17-18 year olds who have played together for years will win these matchups. Saints just stronger and faster and can bring Div 1 commits off the bench to fill in for starters who are out sick. And it looked like they just wanted it more.


100% agree, Saints looked faster and stronger and certainly had more depth.

The game was closer than the final score showed.


Don’t think game was closer than score showed. Saints had game the whole time. Potomac made them nervous at times but they were always able to stay ahead. Don’t think this means much for Potomac as they could still make an impressive playoff run but Saints looked good yesterday.


You are what your record says you are.
