Should be an exciting game to watch tomorrow evening at GP.

In my eyes, Bullis will need to score more than 6 goals (what they did against Landon last week) if they are expecting to win.

Prep has the edge in depth as Bullis plays fewer than 15 kids.

If Bullis can prevent giving up transition opportunities, control the tempo, and make it a slower 6v6 setting, I think they can sneak out a victory. Prep is good in transition and off re-starts, especially if the ball is in Hahn's stick.

Cant wait, should be a great contest.

I think Prep finds a way to win, Hoyas 10, Bullis 8.

The upper half (SJC, PVI, GC, GZ) and the upper half of the IAC (Bullis, GP, Landon) are on par.

The middle tier of the WCAC (Ryken, DeMatha, Heights) are likely on par with the likes of STA, Episcopal, and Saint Stephen’s.

Personally I think both leagues are “down” this year or maybe they are now taking a back seat to the big boys in New England West.

O’Connell beat Ryken a week and a half ago.

St. John’s score?

7-4 Bulldogs

Wow, that says something. So much for “DMV Game of the Week” last week with STA and Episcopal. Good for The Heights.

WCAC is deeper than the IAC.

No question this year WCAC is the better league.

Just look at both national rankings and you will see that the ISC. And WCAC are about equal. Equally mediocre.

So we are back to imagining hypothetical matchups... I think I prefer the comparative score analysis approach. Almost as bad, but at least not imaginary.

Maybe we should analyze likely IAC and WCAC playoff seedings and outcomes. And keep advocating for a 1 game championship at the end of it. But imaginary games? Yawn.

The Heights beat STA yesterday 8-7. I wouldn't say they beat up on them.

PVI vs Bullis is a toss-up, as is GP vs SJC.
Landon is a def favorite over GC
Gonzaga would be a def favorite over STA

EHS vs the Heights is a toss-up, as is SSSA vs DeMatha.

Didn’t the Heights just beat up on STA? How are they a wash against a team STA just beat comfortably? I’d also say Dematha over SSSAS, but agree on the rest.

GZ, SJC, and PVI collectively have 1 MIAA win.

SJC lost to Culver 2-11, while Landon scored 9 on them and were within a goal with 3 minutes to go.

What is bigged WCAC win out of town? Probably STAB in week 1.

Prep also beat St. Mary's, who just beat Calvert Hall.

No magic to GC’s rise. Pay to play. Smith is a persuasive recruiter and GC is reasonably priced compared to the other privates.

SJC has wins over Boys Latin and LaSalle from Philly.

BL is very young this year; they might not even make the MIAA playoffs. Expect them to bounce back next Spring.

LaSalle is a strong program, not in the same domain as Malvern Prep or Haverford, but they are a very quality opponent.
