Try winning a face off.
Prep beats Landon once and doesn’t know how to act 😂 34 IAC championships > 12 IAC championships, little guy
How many of those championships were from before GP started to take lacrosse seriously? How about over the last 25 years?
GP doesn’t take lacrosse seriously?
They do these days, of course. But prior to the late 90’s the GP teams were were mostly new to the sport and not the better athletes. Giblin was able to turn that around and by 1997 the gap had been closed.
Prior to that Landon had no real competition except for one St Albans team. Boardley had developed lacrosse players starting in the fourth grade and all the bigger, better athletes played. They were essentially unopposed in the IAC and that’s when they racked up a majority of those trophies.
Landon really doesn’t like to lose as them trotting out the all time championships thing.
It’s much less impressive if you know the history.
Anyone can come to their own conclusions to fit their narrative. Giblin started at Prep in 1988. So I guess we won’t include those Landon victories or banners because why? Preps varsity teams weren’t ready or good enough? Didn’t take the sport “seriously”, sounds like all lame excuses.
DC area lacrosse is not what it is today if it weren’t what Bordley did at Landon and growing the game in the DMV community. Giblin and then Casey ONeill were the next crop of coaches / pioneers to help establish what the DMV lax scene is today.
Lame excuses? Actually it's facts. When Giblin finally got the better GP athletes interested in lacrosse in about 1997, the programs were just about equal. Landon banners prior to that period should have asterisks for being "essentially unopposed". Casey O'Neill was still in high school in 1998.

The Bullis opening will attract a lot of good applicants.
Will be interesting to see who they land
Probably, but there is nothing in the pipeline after the 27 class.

I think that's a lousy excuse for being behind on IAC titles. But if we go by your logic, GP wasn't a "real" lacrosse program until 1997 under Giblin (who by the way joined GP staff in '88), so let's erase everything that happened up to that point. Since 1997, Landon has won 15 titles and 4 national championships. GP has won 12 (including tonight's win) and 2 national championships. 15 is in fact greater than 12. So regardless of whether or not you want to count anything before '97/beginning of Giblin era, Landon still has the upper hand.
15 vs 12 is hardly dominance. Should take GP three more years to even it up.
Bigger, stronger players beat much physically smaller teams most of the time.

15-6 Prep final, STA apparently lost 3 starters including their D1 pole in the Bullis game. Do not think it decided the game, but could not have helped the score.
