If IAC and MIAA teams are now deemed mid-level to the SJC faithful.... How did SJC do on the national stage last year?
Going 1-3 on the national stage is not that impressive
The Cadets beat BOYS Latin who came in 4th last spring in the MIAA Lost to Hill Academy, New Hope Academy, and Saint Anhony's.
A one-goal victory over Bullis is also not impressive when both STA and Landon beat them by 4 plus. Prep beat Bullis by 10+ goals.

EHS has never committed to lacrosse, the only care about football and basketball for the most part.
Prep having boarding players is nothing new
Prep is now nearly 3x the size of Bullis, Saint Stephens, and Episcopal.
GP loves to make the argument that the big Catholic schools are too big & bad to compete against in most sports and that the academic standards in the WCAC are "beneath them". With that being said, Prep is significantly larger than any IAC upper school.
The argument that the boarding program is designed primarily for international students is a lock of s**t. GP has been recruiting athletes up and down the East Coast for boarding purposes for decades now.
Prep has almost as many boys as SJC. Prep used to be elite but now it's where kids who weren't wanted by Gonzaga go. Jesuit little brother.

Didn’t SJC lose to STA in that fall tournament last year?
Yeah but STA is the best team in the DMV every fall
This does seems to be true on this board. But SJC did not lose to STA last fall either way.
