Another example of the debate points made than assume the people on the other side are neophytes.

Such as:

GP is not as good as the NE privates.

The GP attack will be All Ivy next year.

Or the strawman of GP people won't admit that boarders are the key to their success. (A strawman is arguing against a position your opponent never took.)

PG's pretty much the same as College freshmen, who are usually there to get their grades up.

SJC vs GC?

Ah can’t wait for the SJC vs GC match up on Old Vic Friday night. We always talk about St. John’s being a dominant force in the dmv, but I never see them step up in the playoffs. Remember last year and that disastrous loss to Ryken in the quarterfinals. I think GC has this one in the bag.


GC9
SJC8


Will take that bet. SJC comes to Olney tonight to prove something after the bad regular season loss. They come ready to play tonight and shut everyone up on this board who constantly hates on them.

Doubt that!

He is an excellent player but that is a bold claim. No doubt in my mind he will have a good career playing for the Tigers though.

Prep people are foolish if they don’t think having boarders helps their program. Half of their starters on the current roster board. 3 attackers, LSM, and the goalie all board.

I have no issues with it but let’s not pretend it doesn’t help.





That post suggests to me that the author doesn't know much about college lacrosse and hasn't seen a lot of high school lacrosse outside the area. When your world is the DVM it's easy to think that the better players in the conference are the best in the game.

Who is "pretending" that? No one I've heard.

What I have read on here is a few from other schools suggesting that that's an advantage others don't have and it explains Prep's success.

I think the GP attitude is more likely to be, "Who cares?" or "So what?" or "It's legal under the rules".

It's not like there hasn't been a long history of the fan bases at these schools accusing one another of not behaving in consort with the spirit of the Conference.

Maybe it’s the system, but I don’t feel like Prep’s offense has been all that dangerous this year considering the number of 4 and 5-star recruits they have. Their 5-star is quick and has a cannon for a shot, but did he really do that much?

I’m pretty sure these teams allow high school post graduates to play. I know that Lawrenceville does as do the rest of the NJ privates like Peddie.

At nearby Princeton High we scrimmaged them bout couldn’t play them and some of our kids went on to Lawrenceville, Peddie, Blair and Pennington for a “prep” year.

IAC rules wouldn’t allow that. These are effectively teams filled with college freshmen.

Is Noah Hhan a boarder? He is considered the top attackman in the 2026 class, and if he is not the top, he is in the top 3. And you are clueless if you don't think he would make any team that much better around.

His speed and quickness are elite, and his vision is excellent. He will likely play in the midfield for Princeton next year.


Han is too small to play midfield and has never once been asked to play defense. He'll be on the starting attack next year.

The giant lsm from GP was a boarder. Also, a senior transfer. Both of your arguments are proven wrong.

They will lean into the Catholic angle and become the Notre Dame of High School sports.
