Lmao - if you only knew how many lax families from DMV schools have reached out about transferring. Not easy to transfer to St. John’s since the school is at capacity every year.


SJC may be at capacity, but it’s a glorified public school and a safety for academically successful students. They offer tons of scholarships to try to lure academically strong students and talented students, whether in athletics or the arts. I personally know multiple students who have received scholarships for academics, athletics, and the arts. Most students who get into better schools don’t chose SJC unless they want/need the money. At our elementary school everyone applied to SJC as a backup/safety and the only kids who attended were the ones who didn’t get into the better schools or wanted the scholarships. Back in the day it was the school that kids went to after they were kicked out of other schools. SJC is trying desperately to change that reputation, but still not an academic powerhouse and not a school many kids want to attend, unless it’s their best option. That being said no one from an IAC school is transferring to SJC unless they have to.



Take a break mom. It’s ok they wouldn’t let your son transfer.

HA! Really? That's funny coming from someone calling someone else names. Just facts reported and no name calling.

SJC is a safety for most kids. Facts.

IAC kids have no desire to transfer to SJC. Facts.


An SJC starting attackman transferred from an IAC school after last spring. Fact.

In the current landscape where you can go to a great academic school if you are good enough as a player (multiple Bullis kids to Ivies, etc.), SJC being a tier down in terms of academic name recognition is way less of a problem than it used to be.

Speaks has also done nothing but win since he arrived, including a #1 undefeated season, several recent alums have had an immediate impact in the college game (Haley, Rhoa, Checo), and there is a returning player who is the #1 recruit in the nation for the 2024s (Duenkel). While he and his staff getting plenty of hate from the Gonzaga/Prep corners of these boards, you don't hear players or parents complaining at all about the program.

They have also leaned into having effectively year-round lacrosse players, which is a want for some kids.

TLDR; there are lot of reasons to look at SJC as an incoming ninth or transfer.

Oh my. You really are taking this hard, aren’t you? What happened to Men for Others? AMDG?

Remember, it’s just a game. Bro.


Not Prep or Gonzaga "bro", but nice try. Everyone knows the above is factual.


Then you must really be in a snit with your results this season. Such a tender psyche that you feel the need to attack when things don’t go your way.

Well, the off season will do you good. Help you remember these are kids and the important thing is good sportsmanship, win or lose.

I know you would agree. Bro.

Play a tougher schedule Wes...

beating up on Ireton, Ryken, and O'Connell doesn't help your cause.



League games are out of every teams control but Prep actually scheduled Ryken and St. James this year instead of St. John’s. Wondering why that decision was made? 👀
