Meh. Dematha 3-0. This will be a down year for DMV on a national ranking scale.

Big fan of NHSLS… less hero ball that you typically see in the club games.

Keep in mind not all HS coaches have the same philosophy when playing in these summer tournaments.

Do you play to win? Do you use this as an opportunity to watch your younger JV kids play? For the 2024 kids already committed, how much do coaches play them vs playing kids in the 2025 class where it’s a crucial summer to be evaluated.

Good luck to all DC area teams playing today!

What are the chop houses thoughts on their legacy children being passed by boarders from outside of the area?

9. SSAS
10. St. Andrews
All that news that is fit to print


Based on what I am seeing:

1. SJC - until proven otherwise
2. Landon - returns a talented and deep 2024 senior class and a solid 2025 class.
3. Prep - the junkyard will be bringing in a few marquee boarders to keep them afloat in the IAC next year
4. Gonzaga - has all the talent in the world but the program has a serious discipline problem and can't stay focused for an entire season
5. PVI - Panthers have the athletes to run and compete with anyone
6. Bullis - addition by subtraction with a few of the departing seniors.
7. EHS - a dark horse in the IAC and I can assure you a few senior transplants will show up in August
8. SS/SA - the Saints didn't graduate any studs from their 2023 class
9. St Albans - similar to Bullis, STA might surprise teams next spring. Solid 2025 class.
10. DeMatha - Mitchell better have the Stags contending for a WCAC championship by the end of his 3rd season



I would actually put Prep at the top spot, or second if you really want to give deference to SJC. Their superstar senior class this past year distracted everyone from their strong 2024 and 2025 players. They have top 2024 and 2025 players who either started or had significant playing time this past year. Prep has at least 12 2024 players, seven of whom are committed to play in college (Georgetown, Notre Dame, UMD, Johns Hopkins, Villanova, Duke, and Dickinson), which is more than any other team in the IAC or WCAC. I am guessing there will be more '24 commitments after this summer and multiple 2025 commits. Two particularly strong '25 players are the starting 6'4 defender who plays like an LSM and the 6'5 first/second line Midfielder who loves to score and was just named offensive MVP at the One Percent Showcase. I would guess they will be top recruits this fall, among others. Point being, Prep has work to do after losing 21 seniors, but don't assume they will be weak or needing to rebuild. They will be just fine and likely top dog in the DMV.


But still scared to schedule St. John’s? Come on.

They will play 2 MIAA teams next year. They play tougher teams than the IAC from out of state. They want to play the best teams. IAC can stay scared.

Speaks is not liked by any of the opposing teams coaching staffs for obvious reasons.


Him and Lee and friends for obvious reasons.

Highland Park is coached by a HOF coach, Coach Pressler.

He is doing very good things for the sport in Texas.

HP will be a national powerhouse very soon.

Don’t need luck. Tell your coach to schedule a game in the spring and find out.
