The IAC has no problem scheduling other WCAC schools. Gonzaga was the best team in the area for a long stretch of time and the big IAC schools never hesitated to schedule the Purple Eagles.

The problem seems to be SJC

St. John’s has a ton of talent. They lost last night but they will be very competitive for many years. Now that they have lost a DMV game maybe the IAC will schedule a game.

You can do it too IAC. Lol

SJC has one but a certain coach can’t get past his own pettiness and actually play the kid and Speaks won’t speak up. Everyone knows it and it was glaringly obvious last night.


SJC had a terrible time early in the year and fo was masked by the weak WCAC schedule. GZ, I'm pretty sure, won the fo % in the first game but were just out-hustled in the first game. Problems continued in the finals. I'm pretty sure SJC has a good sophomore and freshman.

Bullis 2025s are over hyped.

News Flash, much like no one "sent" Trump; he sent himself down that golden escalator to all of our detriment, the IAC is not "sending" Bullis. Bullis is sending themselves. To whose detriment, if to anyone's detriment at all, remains to be seen. Good luck to Bullis in this post season voluntary tournament.

Good work from Landon players and coaches this year. I think the entire IAC drops off next year, but the top three will remain Bullis, Landon, and Prep. I think Bullis is taking on water, Landon graduated a lot of offense, and Prep always has tallent, but can it be applied effectively on the field. I suspect Urick's seat could be getting warmer.

Let's hope GZ and Bullis compete well in this event as they are representing DC area lacrosse.

Last year, GZ was embarrassed in this event going 0-2 and Bullis went 1-1.


There will be no Gonzaga seniors playing this weekend so it will be a preview of the 2025 team.

Congrats to GZ for escaping with a one-goal victory against an SJC team that was missing its best player.

First WCAC title for GZ in half a decade. First DMV loss for SJC in half a decade.

These two teams will be battling for years to come. Love it.

This is totally true. Landon’s admissions requirements were thrown out the door. Their team was the 270’s or whatever and it was all a fraud.


Apologies for double posting here folks:

Your post reeks of disdain towards Landon. Here are some facts:

Landon's top 4 players on any given day this spring were the following: the Tufts bound LSM (Owens), the Utah Middie signee (Robertson), and then at attack the Bucknell signee (Panetti), and the Georgetown signee (Miller). Owens and Robertson have been at Landon since lower school and came up through the Bears program. Panetti and Miller came to Landon in the middle school.

I'm sure Landon attracted some lax applicants for 9th grade and even 10th grade however the majority of the Bears roster has been at the school since LS / MS.

The last time I checked, SJC, GZ, DM, Prep, and Bullis "recruit" pretty aggressively for athletics, I guess in your eyes it's a crime when Landon recruits.

Good for Landon on the win but aren’t most of their best kids all from pretty far away? It’s not like it’s actually a team from the immediate area. Maddox helped bring in kids that shunted his own sons to the bench. In the end though, a win is a win!

That had some absolute monsters this year. Best attackmen in the area, the best middle in the area, the best pole in the area, and the best goalie in the area


Agree. This was a special Landon team and you could see this team was building towards the end of the 2023 season.

Landon was better at the attack, more athletic and deeper in the midfield, better coached at the defensive end of the field (even I'd take Prep's defensive personnel over Landon's), and extremely disciplined between the "lines". On top of that, Landon's goalie, who is not even going to play in college, is the best goalie in the IAC.

Prep lax is in trouble next year as they are graduating a strong 2024 class and their JV team was embarrassing this year. Expect Prep to hit the "transfer portal" hard this summer and bring in some out-of-town boarders as the cupboard is rather empty.

Landon will be the favorite to repeat in the IAC next Spring. Bullis will give them a run for their money with their 2025 class.

Just asking for clarification here - is your argument that kids who live in the 270 corridor aren't competitive academically? Is it only a true "non-fraud" Landon team if they strictly draw from Bethesda, Potomac, Chevy Chase, and NW DC?
