Why don’t you post all the accolades of the bullis kids too then instead of cricizing them?

Think any of these bios will say a kid is a douchebag?
Many of the kids on these rosters have great HS credentials.
Love how the sta faithful drill over their own but are cutting with anybody else.

Even if you don't particularly know or like STA (which I don't) those accomplishments are unique and should be respected. Give these student-athletes credit where and when it is due!

it's still impressive to hold prep to 8 goals this year.

I won't write his name but this is what it says about him on Yale's website. This is the kind of impressive kid you will find at STA. He's smart and a great athlete. Btw I don't know him but this is an impressive record.

"At St. Albans School: Captain of lacrosse team... Played all four years... All-League honors…Team MVP… D.C. Metropolitan Area leader in total saves and saves per game as a senior... Four years on Academic Honor Roll and Headmaster’s List… Citizenship Award… Also played varsity soccer and hockey… All-IAC team soccer goalie as junior and senior… All-State soccer goalie 2016 …Broke STA school record with 11 shutouts... Helped guide soccer team to IAC Championship in 2015 and 2016, and to DCSAA State Championship in 2015."

Awesome player. Isn't Yale number one? Pretty impressive to make that team.

Yet, here you are reading these posts and commenting yourself. Well done.

If St. Albans sucked last year then Episcopal and St. Stephens REALLY sucked because STA beat both and tied with Prep for third place.

a win is a win.
maybe sta isn't as bad as it has been, at least in the goal and on defense.

it was 8-6. prep never led by more than 3 and it was a 1-2 point game the whole time

I think people underrate how many of the posters are kids themselves...

Too true but I wonder much more about what the study would say about you, PP. I bet it wouldn't be very complimentary. The rest of us are happy as clams with our little group. You, clearly not so much! I almost never post on this thread but I miss it when it is dormant during the off-season. I'm thrilled when it gets a high level of activity. Here's to lax power, like-minded people and all that!

Why are you on this thread? Anything of substance on local teams this season is welcome, otherwise shut your pie hole.

This thread and its posters would be a great case study in sociology.

And represent the true parent communities, I fear.
