Hang in there Bears. Sometimes a “loss,” in the win-loss column turns out to be a win overall. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and carry on. Building character is what high school sports is all about, right?

To you Bulldogs, well done and well deserved. You persevered through some tough times over the last few years. But grit, determination, obvious team chemistry and unselfish play, can pay off. You haven’t quite clawed your way out of the IAC cellar just yet, but you’ve earned respect all around.

I look at the number of commits as a good indicator, but also factor in the number of D3 seniors. Tend to feel that a 4 year player that goes D3 is the same as say a sophomore D1, roughly the same. There are some exceptions but you get my point. Always factor in the seniors as an indication of how good a team is going to be. All the seniors even those not playing in college.

Landon and Prep - 10

Bullis and SSSAS - 8

EHS - 4

St Albans - 3



I've always thought that number of commits on a team does not translate into how good a team actually is.

But these numbers, if accurate, seem to track what most predict as the final IAC standings for 2018.


Have these numbers changed since this was posted last year?

The other team barely taking their starters out is your excuse for losing? Is it common practice to put your subs in so that you can give the other team some sort of level playing field?



Ha no, you missed the point. Even with playing starters the whole game it was only a three point game. Often when SSSA plays teams they think are inferior they play many girls outside of starters.

Once again, the talent is out there. Better bring your A game every time on the field or your gonna lose. Love the parity in the IAC and WCAC.

WRONG. More girls from this area, from DC private schools, go on to play lacrosse at the DI level than boys, by far. AND DC area girls are more likely to be standouts on the sport at the collegiate level than the boys:

This year the #1 incoming Defensive freshman in the country, Mollie Miller, is from the DC metro are (SSSAS).
Gussie Johns, from DC, was the standout goalie on the USA women's god medal team last summer.
Numerous DC area private school girls made the top 50 list of incoming DI freshman last year.
The Capital Lacrosse Club, the top DC area club and a top team nationally, typically sends its entire A team, and most of its B team player, to play at the best national programs every single year
DC area girls currently play for or are committed to UNC, UVA, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Northwestern, Hopkins, Duke, Syracuse, BC and every Ivy League school.

So yeah, the boys game around here doesn't even come close to matching the outstanding accomplishments of the girls. And sure try to argue that there are more college programs for the girls, or that fewer girls play nationally, still doesn't change the fact that DC area lacrosse programs produce far more great female players than men players.




I like your style!
