As much I hate to say it, Prep and Landon should probably be higher. GC and PVI have good rosters but thin in a couple of spots. I think Ryken won’t be nearly as good this year with all the graduations (especially the goalie). I’d go
1. SJC
2. Prep
3. Landon
4. GC
5. PVI
6. GZ
7. Bullis
8. Episcopal
9. Heights
10. STA
At least there's some hedging in this language, unlike the usual Often Wrong Never in Doubt takes. That said, and with due hedging, my first prop bet is that any ranking that has Prep above 6, Bullis or Landon below 5, and Episcopal anywhere at all will age like a carton of milk that sat on the mall all last week. My other prop bets are that Prep and PVI will luxuriate in club ball wherever they end up, SJC might actually see some recovery if they don't do the Prep/PVI thing, and that STA will stand on Episcopal's shoulders to climb into the top 10. Again.
