I wouldn't say that the "most serious" players go to to Military Road. they are deadly serious, but I know plenty of 2027 players and families at other local schools (Landon, for example) who are equally serious - some would say that the take themselves too seriously. But SJC does get the prize for the HIGHEST NUMBER of serious players. I don't know how Coach Speaks does it, but he has a knack for collecting way more players than could ever see the field.


Significant factors are cost of tuition, relatively low academic admission requirements, relatively easy academic curriculum, and a demonstrated success of sending lax bros to very strong colleges. It's a pretty good formula.


Admissions standards for lacrosse players at Landon, Prep, Gonzaga, Good Counsel, PVI are not especially stringent. Academic offerings are similar if taking the regular classes. Prep and Landon advanced offerings are better in IMO, but the differentiator is price and someone easier to get to from southern MD/Anne Arundell. Let’s be real.

Speaks needs to start winning some games when it really matters.

Last season was an embarrassment.

If he can't get back to the ship this year, in a season where the WCAC appears to be down (Gonzaga looks to be very down), admin might want to think about departing ways.

Wow, now I know how all those GP parents feel like when an alumni's kid goes to a different school. Meanwhile, Landon doesn't have a fogo in '26, '27, or '28 class. Congratulations to the young man!


you have an obsession with GP and Landon.
