Gonzaga was competitive all year and beat both Prep and PVI (PVI's only loss).

SJC lost a close game in the championship.

The reality is there is more parity and better overall coaching in the area than ever before. We're unlikely to see any team secure years and years of consecutive dominance again.


+1

Look at the league champions in the local leagues over the past 4 seasons.

IAC: 2022 Bullis, 2023 Prep, 2024 Landon, 2025 Landon, 2026 GP

WCAC: 2022 SJC, 20223, SJC, 2024 Gonzaga, 2025 DeMatha, 2026 PVI

This is a good thing if you ask me!

4. Gonzaga - a lot of young players got valuable experience this year.
5. St. Albans - could be best STA in more than a decade.
6. Good Counsel - lose a lot on offense
7. PVI - turn over a very big chunk of their roster

9. Episcopal - probably about the same as this year.
10. Heights - could 2027 be a dream year?


These look right.

Good Counsel drop off won’t be as dramatic as many people are projecting.

I’d put them at 4.

Gonzaga at 5

STA at 6

What about DeMatha?

Episcopal will be slightly better than they were this year .



DM needs a new coach-again. Cant have someone who doesn't know defense as head coach. players do not respect him.

SJC played a tough game. High level lacrosse all around last night. Definitely we were watching kids who will be impact players at the next level.

Collegiate has a few kids who can play, but PVI should be able to handle them with ease today even on a heavy hangover.

Another season of God NOT being purple. Sad. Time for a new coach?


Good Counsel should be ranked above STA. Hard to rank Bullis until we have insight on who they hire and what direction the school wants go with their program. SJC graduates a ton, I thought at the onset of this season, they would be the clear-cut favorite. Gonzaga was young this Spring but not sold on the talent they have on their current roster.

Prep will reload and hit the transfer portal very hard.

Third possibility, the team was actually good and made it to the WCAC final, and lost to a good PVI team? Stay with me, also possible that the commits are good, and that colleges know what they are talking about. And this one will blow your mind, that there may be good high school players who will not be good D1 players so they don’t get committed D1, but still play well in high school. Happens in a lot of sports, not just lacrosse. If you watch college sports you might even see college players who are really good college players that don’t go on to play professional sports, and vice versa. Compare college Vince Young and Matt Leinart to Josh Allen.

1. Prep - Won year end tourny. Lost to Bullis by one in reg season. Deepest/best talent. Great first year by Hilgy. They’ll be better next year.
2. Bullis - Won reg. season going undefeated. Also beat Haverford, Spalding, GC and Gonzaga. Yes, lost to STa in OT in tourny, but I chalk that up to a bad day.
3. STA - Up and coming program. Lots of young talent. Got better as year went along and I think program on rise and will challenge Prep next year. And yes, I know they beat Bullis in the tourny. They also lost to them the week before.
4. Landon - Avg year for the Bears. Not a noteworthy win, although they played Culver tough and pushed Prep a ton. Didn’t have normal grit across the field. Should be better next year.
5. Episcopal - Cabell is going to Cabell, but they still don’t have the talent. They’ll play hard and physical, but they have essentially a brand less style of play.
6. SSSA - What are we doing??

POY - Han- Prep - Won tourny (even if he wasn’t best player on field that day). Target of defenses all year, and still put up points. 5 star.
Runner- Up- Kuehl - Bullis - Hat trick against STa was the norm all year.
DPOY - Greene - STA, Wade - Bullis, McGlone- Prep… pick’em


They should start doing a tournament at the end of the year to rank the teams.

Their 2027 class is pretty stacked, but they lost three key pieces. I think they’ll be spunky and snag a few big wins, but have some real ups and downs next year.

Administration needs to make the right hire for the program. This is a big moment.


Do they even have a goalie?

Coaching or overhyped players? or both?


Wait until you see the all WCAC team


I'd have to imagine the coaches will be spreading it around this year.


A lot of head scratchers. Not sure anyone watches the games anymore or they just look at pre season lists and recruiting stars. Three FOGO’s on 1st team for whatever reason. Offensive players at positions they didn’t play and some who were non factors in most games and just didn’t produce.


There s a list out somewhere from some source? Don’t teen me dmv lax. He had non starters as top people and kept writing it through the year.
