How could BI lose to PVI? How does that happen? If correct, that is a huge win for PVI. Devistating and embarrassing loss for BI.

I guess it means that the acceptance rate is higher than Potomac's or Sidwell's; maybe a bit higher than Visi's. 1200 applications for 350 spots is not bad for a high school. No clue what it means relative to GC or SR...


The admissions standards at SJC and GV are not really all that comparable. GV accepts at a lower rate, and they are getting more accomplished applicants. SJC has really improved though.


If you compare the schools the kids are attending you’ll find it’s pretty even.


Big if true

GC also had many alums that are current collegiate players in the stands, not sure why you only singled out SJC?


looks like the post was written by a non-GC parent so he/she would not have known if anyone was a GC alum.

What an awesome experience to play at GU. I hope all of them enjoyed a very cool experience from both sides!

Don't feed the trolls looking to stir things up.

BI vs PVI and Potomac vs Collegiate today in the VISAA championships. Winners likely play SSAS and STAB respectively Thursday.

SJC and Visi are likely heading for a rematch Sunday in the DCSAA championship.

That was a really good game yesterday. One of the most intense and physical I have seen in girls/women's lacrosse. GC is so deep and balanced, it started to feel inevitable in the third quarter, but SJC fought to the last whistle. Didn't feel as lopsided as the score.

GC converted their opportunities in the attack zone, SJC didn't as often. GC clear is elite; very smooth. Defense is dense and flexible. Goaltending outstanding. (SJC goalie also played very well).

Both teams coaches had their players going all out.

Yea the captain went to NCS for the academics (unlike her sisters) and played for Cap blue.

Thank you, LBer

You win. I think we can retire this thread for the year. I hope your DD didn't graduate and that you will consider live-blogging more frequently.
