Maret?

Why isn't Prep better with all those players including big dudes and 19 year olds?

Don't know about the boarding schools, but the locals aren't top tier.
But they're still winning, look good, and are going to take down Prep.

The IAC as a whole is down relative to the past few years.

Landon was beating today Oakton 8-0 in the 2nd quarter.
I believe Oakton won VA States last year at the highest classification level.
No knock against Landon but most would argue it’s probably one of the weaker teams they have had in quite some time.

Not much of a debate. Most seem to be saying the same thing.

The public - private debate really needs to stop in this area.
Privates should be able to dominate the publics in this region for obvious reasons.

Not sure why a public school would be ever ranked in front of an iac school. Public school lax is shitty, should not be in the same conversation with iac teams.
Idiotic comment. There are times when some public school teams are better than some private school teams. Herndon HS - hardly a public school power - beat STA a few years ago. The IAC is one of the best leagues out there, but not all of their teams are far and away better than some publics in some years.
STA is not a real IAC school. Never has made it out of first round of the tournament in recent memory.

I think the main issue with the public schools in the DC area is that in NOVA the lacrosse talent is so spread out that no one school fields a nationally elite team. In the MD suburbs, the talent is much more clustered geographically based on my experience, but a high percentage of these kids go to the privates. If Landon, Billis, Gonzaga, GP, etc. didn't exist and all the in-bounds kids went public, then schools like Churchill or Whitman might be among the strongest in the country. But because they lose so many kids to the privates, there's no way they could compete with the Long Island public schools, which don't have the same pattern (or at least to the same degree).
Another delusional post. Yes, schools like Churchill and Whitman lose kids to Landon and other privates (just like public schools in VA like Langley, TC Williams, etc.) But you think Churchill would be one of the strongest in the country if they didn't lose kids to private schools? LOL.
Landon and other privates are perennially strong because they get great kids, but they get them from all over. The talent pool in Potomac/Bethesda is very good, but even if one public school got all the talent from that area, they would not be able to hang with a school like Ward Melville, etc.
Get a grip.
