SR vs Potomac for SR to clinch at least 2nd place

Anything else of note?

How are the other seedings shaping up?

There is some weird connection between the WP girls lax writer and the Yorktown Coach. He writes about them and favors them every year in polls despite them not being anywhere close to the privates. Last year he wrote an article about the fact Jenny had knee surgery and how that impacted the team? Weird. They are no where near the talent in the privates and they shouldn't be on the list at all. WPO does not know lacrosse at all.

Creepy for one. And gross lack of journalist integrity for two. In this day and age of media skepticism you’d think someone at WAPO would just say no.

It's not just the rankings, it's the preamble. I get that KJ is KJ, but SSSA is not the story this year, and wouldn't have been without injuries. Good Counsel (dominant force and maybe the best team in the country), Stone Ridge (heading toward a repeat in ISL), Visi (coming on strong with new coach and top sisters), St. John's (3 Ivy League Commit seniors on same middie line), Potomac (deepest Jr class ever continuing to get better), are all better stories than 2 injuries and SSSA playing like a team...

Oh so true. It’s a transparent ploy to try and be egalitarian no matter the utter ignorance of accuracy. Can’t have the public school parents upset after all, even at the expense of reality. Yorktown would be unlikely to even place in the AA tier of the ISL and would rank at the bottom of the WCAC.

PVI is down this year and still beat them by a few.

When did Yorktown play SSSA and PVI?

Pre-season scrimmage for SSSAS.

Wapo isn't trying to be correct/objective, they are trying to sell newspapers.

I've seen Yorktown play. Good public school team. Favorites to win 6A in VA. They would lose to every team behind them in the top 10 and 2 of the also considered. WaPo doesn't know much about girls lacrosse.

Agreed. Visi is beating Yorktown by 10.

I thought YT was playing GC tonight.
