I can't figure out why people love to knock programs or put down programs that are on the rise. I think we can agree it's a good thing when new programs come along and start making some noise at the regional level. Programs don't rise and fall overnight, sustainable programs take a commitment from the institution itself to find the right coaches and to ensure their programs feel supported long-term.

It's way too early to determine if Saint James in Hagerstown is going to be a regional lacrosse power but John Tucker is an excellent coach. Student-athletes in Washington and Frederick counties MD now have an option to consider in their backyard vs having to make the long trek to Baltimore or DC - this is a good thing and it's good for lacrosse.

Agree. More players. More options. Nobody like getting knocked off the mountain top. especially private school kids and parents, see wrath that SJC has faced the last few years.

Imagine a kid choosing a school for more than just lacrosse?? There are great opportunities for talented players throughout the DMV.

lost 20-9

Giving up 20 in any game is rough but a MAC team scoring 9 versus an IAC team as good as Bullis is pretty good IMO. I'm not one of the PPs above, didn't really know anything about this school until this discussion.

Possible but Bullis could be overhyped too.

I was at game with my elem school teacher. St. James fogo is very good. They have a few other guys who can really play. I don't know how good Bullis is, but St. James hung for a bit before the lack of depth eventually got to them. I would put them on the same level as a Dematha/Landon, from what I have seen.

Seems you are really into St. James. Do you really know what good lacrosse looks like?
