So Mitchell is now the head coach even though he doesn't have the official title. This gets around the long standing rule at DeMatha that the head coach of a varsity program needs to have a full-time position at the school.

Resigned or fired, but why?

He was forced out as head coach but was allowed to stay as a goalie coach. He said no, so they said they both decided to part ways. However, he is now blaming the players like he blamed them for everything. He should have never been hired since he had no coaching experience. Main thing, he was toxic and wanted to be head coach in name only. He was supposed to be the OC but knew nothing about being an OC. He belittled players constantly. He never communicated with parents or players. For example, cancelling a Saturday practice and not telling his players and his coaches. He didn’t plan for the spring break trip and game. I could go on and on. Basically parents and players had enough of him. It was bad with a lot of players thinking about transferring from the program. Since his departure the players are inspired and playing harder. You can see it since the LaSalle game. Mitchell was welcomed back with open arms and this is from some parents who had bad experiences with him.

No. He stepped back from head coaching because of his surgeries and recovery time. He was able to return as OC

WCAC playoffs will be fun to watch next month.

Gonzaga and SJC are the likely favorites but you can’t rule out either GC or DM.

DM is a different team since when the former HC resigned a few weeks ago.

PVI not in the mix is crazy after last season

How Wooten still has a job is beyond me

Get better

Absolutely. There is more to it though. You need AD support. And everyone knows that all Wooten cares about is boys basketball and the rest of the DJO athletic dept. goes to support it. Outside of softball, the rest of DJO sports are mediocre to awful and Arlington kids with any athletic ability avoid it like the plague if they can.

GC is the better coached team. They don’t have the depth to compete against Bullis SJC Gonzaga yet. This is year 2 for coach Smith. At this rate, they should be in the race for WCAC title yearly.

Really a surprise. I guess you have not watch PVI or GC play. I have watched both and GC is much better team. Well coached and play as a team.

If by “in the mix” you mean middle of the pack, then maybe. But STA will never have the depth of quality that the more established lacrosse powers have.

They will have a shot. They have a top fogo, the best 27 goalie in the region and several other top kids mixed in.

STA had "a shot" with the 2023 class. They were the best class STA has had in a very long time and they came in last in the IAC. They had good players in many key positions and it still didn't matter. STA lacks overall depth, strength, athleticism, and skill. The IAC is down big this year and still STA is second to last in the league, having lost to everyone except SSSA, who they play next week. To compete in the IAC STA will have to do more than just have a "bunch" of good 26 and 27s. The top teams all have good 26 and 27s.

DMV talent is way down this season. Best player in the DMV is injured, FO is down, last season the DMV had the best goalie class ever, D is down and the teams are just not ranking with the national programs. Lets hope 26 and 27 classes track better

Agree that DMV lacrosse is down this year but Landon is clearly not and in a league of their own this spring.

IL lacrosse has them ranked at #8 in the country for a reason.
