Surprised St. Chris isn't better. Their 2027 class would be top 3 most talented in the DC area, though more deep with solid players than any true stud. Is Taibl still kicking around down there? I remember him being one of the better coaches in this area a while back.
St. Albans scrimmaged them in March down there. It was early in the season, but St. Chris beat the snot out of them. STA won around 75% of the face-offs, but couldn’t get anything going. FO aside, St. Chris was very efficient all around. Not sure what’s happened since then, but was surprised they lost to Episcopal.

11-2 GC
It was livestreamed
As bad as that sounds, it was actually even worse. It was 8-0 for GC at halftime when the starters were pulled and the only points DM had were from the GC transfer in garbage time. DM never even threatened to score outside of those two shots.
We know Dematha is bad, whyyyyy do people keep beating this dead horse? It’s so boring. Enough!!
It does beg the question, though, what happened? Its one thing to lose players to graduation, but this fall from grace is unprecedented.
They had 16 seniors last year. This year they have 4-5 good players but it looks like some of their starters can’t catch and throw. They were typically 4-6th place previous to last year so they are back to normal. Add in the coaching fiasco two years ago and they missed two recruiting years.

It won't work in high school because team rosters are very different from year to year. So a team that is relegated in year 1 might be a powerhouse in year 2 and decimate the lower division teams. What's the fun in that?

Cape Henlopen is not good.
Bad loss for Bullis
Salesanium is the national power from DE who has won the state championship for the past 6 years
Cape Henlopen is "good", they are public school state champ of DE almost eveyr year
Salesanium is a private school and, yes, they beat Henlopen, and they would likely beat any of the IAC schools.
It is definitely not a "bad" loss.
I would agree that two one goal losses for the Bulldogs in March doesn't; mean the wheels have fallen off. They are the team to beat in the IAC.
Upperclassmenr are light years better than last years team and they have the most consistent dedicated coachign staff in the IAC. They do not get enough credit for all that they do (and have had to put up with over the years)
What did Bullis have to out up with besides scholarship players who have gone onto college success?
The fact that you ask means you are newer to the area lax landscape. Coach was put through the wringer. You can find many many old posts about it. The names that were involved have all moved out of the coaching ranks. They were never serious about helping coach they just wanted the accolades and here is a Coach, teacher at the school, who has and continues to help his players get to the next level while a dmv coaching carousel spins and spins and spins continuously.

3. Bullis. Loses to one player from TX and a top 3 team in DE.
4. St. John’s. Still has the most talent in the area, FO has improved, but now selfish offensive play has hurt them.
5. Good Counsel. WHAT? Not many think GC would lose again to the FO-less Bears
6. Landon. Everyone thinks they have a chance by winning 70% of FO’s. They aren’t wrong.
7. St. Albans - 2nd in the IAC is theirs with some inspired play
8. Potomac/St. James - They will hang around by winning games
9. Episcopal - Sorry, GZ it’s really that bad down on Eye St.
10 Urbana - by way of beating Severna Park who beat Robinson
These rankings are horrible.
1. PVI: hanging on by a thread with an undefeated record.
2. GP: strong showing in Florida trip against top competition
3. Landon: looked solid across the board against GZ
4. SJC: The Cadets play way too inconsistently for the amount of talent on its roster
5. Bullis: Bulldogs are coming back down to life after a strong start to the season.
6. GC: Falcons can score goals and win face-offs, but need to play better defense if they are going to make a run in the WCAC
7. GZ: Don't be fooled by their 2-6 record, the Eagles are very young this year and will be better come WCAC playoff time.
8. STA: looking to play spoiler in the IAC this spring.
9. EHS: beat a high-quality opponent
10. Urbana: reigning MD 4A state champs knocked of perenial public school state power Severna Park last week.
HM: Potomac School
Who is the high quality opponent that EHS beat?
They beat a very similar opponent (not high quality) in St. Christopher's by 3 and GP beat same by 4.
Right. And were just shellacked by Haverford. Calling that a high quality opponent isn’t exactly adhering to logical rigor. But since this is an argument over #9 I’d let it slide.

DC Private School Lacrosse should band together under one umbrella league with Div 1, 2, & 3 annual relegation. Let McNamara, Ireton, and O'Connell play competitive games against similar talent. Let middle tier teams play quality opponents every single week and see who can move up. This year's GZ squad would be on bubble of 1/2. GZ vs STA with relegation on line would be fun matchup!
Potomac has 5 competitive games left: St. Christopher, Episcopal, STA, STJ and maybe one more. They could come away at 15-2. GZ may struggle to get past 6 regular season wins. GZ should really consider a full-time staff who works at the school rather than someone with an outside job, his buddy and a bartender.
