(Yes, scrimmages matter)

1. SJC - STAB isn't a DC area team
2. PVI - manhandles the early season
3. GP - room to move up
4. Landon - we hear you about the fogo
5. GC - Spaulding, yeesh
6. Bullis - dark horse
7. GZ - not done yet
8. STA - missing players but coming together
9. Episcopal - have some good transfers
10. DeMatha - still have a couple pieces
HM
Heights - loss of wppoy seems to have really, really hurt
Publics - Langley, Yorktown, Robo. Someone will reveal themselves

PVI historically is firing on all cylinders in the early part of the season and generally fades after March.

Until someone from the IAC beats Landon, it's hard to rank a team ahead of the Bears.

Give Hilgy another year or two to get his "players" in at GP, and the Lil Hoyas will be on Culver's level with the nationwide recruiting for its dorm. Local Catholic families are already looking elsewhere.

Don't count out the DeMatha Stags this season. Sure they graduated a ton in 2024, but they are well coached, always scrappy, and won't go down easily

I'll take Gonzaga over Good Counsel any day, the Purple Eagles are better coached. The Eagles might not have the talent this year as they have had in past years, but I'll give them the mental edge.

PVI this year will be like last year's DM squad. Years of being close ending with a break through in a down year for the league, likely over Good Counsel. They can surge in May and finish it this time. The parents will lead the conference in sacks of vinegar and water. SJC has hype machine and D1 commits who will not see the field at the next level. They are good enough to win this year, but they will likely come up short. Big Tasty isn't there. If they win it will be by default. Gonzaga's coach's mom is the only one who would take him over GC coach. A lot of advantages without the payoff in the end. If God wears purple, its because he doesn't want to cheer for the Commanders. The Heights will Hurdle DM. But admittedly, that is not a high hurdle. SMR had its one year run and now it will cycle back down again. The good returning players opted to not return. That bespeaks a bad culture. DM will struggle against even the publics that they put on their roster. Outside of the FOGO there are no bright spots, and he doesn't even seem to be playing. The problem isn't the depth, its the starters.

The "Average Landon Squad" is is likely the cream of the IAC, for now. GP is building; but they are not there yet. Bullis can beat either of them, but they are also easily able to lose..

Thanks for your insight PVI dad
