Maret should strongly consider joining the IAC.


Please. You can't just "join" the IAC you have to get voted in. Plus, there are schools, such as Potomac, which would be voted in before Maret. As far as the IAC got, lacrosse matters more than any other sport and Maret is bottom of the barrel in lax.

I know it's early in the season, but how are the teams in the IAC looking?

Classic example of how the club coaches operate. It is about lining their own pockets, in large part.

For sure. But if you play for your high school, those are some of the fondest and strongest memories most have of their high school experience.

They have a strong program now, to be clear, but over the long haul, it is difficult to sustain given sheer numbers.

Yes, soccer is a fall sport for the privates, and a spring sport in VA public schools. I'm almost certain it's a fall sport for the MD publics.

I'm confused - high school soccer is a fall sport for all private schools and DC? In VA, the soccer season is in the spring? What about in MD?

But with the departure of the head soccer coach who also happened to be the Admissions Director (yes, a symbiotic relationship) last year, the team is already much less dominant than it has been. Still a winning program, but with teams like Landon nipping at their heels, or paws as it were:


Congrats to St Albans for finishing first in the IAC.


Didn't Landon win it last year? I think 2017 will be even stronger.


No. Landon had a good team but St. Albans won in 2016.
