Predictions?

There is an interesting conversation going on at BOTC about Maryvale having too many top players, and asking why talented players keep choosing Maryvale given how many top players are in the classes ahead of them. There are 24 college commits--20 D1 commits--just in the Junior and Senior classes. SPSG, by comparison, has 16 total and 14 D1; McDonogh has 12 D1. In the ISL/WCAC, only two schools are in double figures for '25 and '26 commits: SSSAS with 13 D1 and GC with 10 D1 commits in the uppercases. Even SR, Potomac, and Visi are at 8 or fewer; one-third of Maryvale's total.

When you further note that Maryvale had at least a couple of Freshman make Varsity, it is clear that there is a completely different talent and depth level there. Imagine the tryouts and practices. I know they have a bunch of haters because they haven't done it before, and the blue bloods at SPSG and McDonogh will smack back with some quality over quantity post, etc., but Maryvale is my pick to win the IAAM this year and next if they can keep their Freshman and Sophomores from transferring.

Bishop Ireton - Potomac today. Ireton beat Potomac last year @ Potomac. Do they get Potomac again today @ Ireton?

Maryvale is tough. Visi +7

SR plays SPSG well; could be a close game. SR +3

McD by 4

These weren't awful predictions. Potomac by 10 and McD by 6 (actuals).

Only 6 for Visi is a bit surprising, no?

Two great games -

Visi pulls it out with a last minute goal.

St John's the up-and-comer of the WCAC holds off Potomac by one.

Should be good games that both come down to defense -- if Visi can score on McDonough's good defense and if St. John's defense can stop Potomac's strong offense.

Don't be a killjoy.

McDonogh's defense is top notch, but their offense is completely new and untested save for a scrimmage with Ireton. I predict a low scoring game with McDonogh by 2.
