Bullis lacrosse, similar to their football team, will soon become a renegade program. Their head football coach openly poaches kids from other programs and their lacrosse staff looks to be following in their football Steps.
Some colleges do this to goose up enrollment enthusiasm & raise notoriety to their university as well. Furman, Quinnipiac, Bryant & some others need a sports draw to attract full pay enrollees. If Bullis has cast it's lot to be the Oak Hill Academy for lacrosse, so be it. They're pretty open about it. But to the extent Bullis is intent on that, it just drowns out the relevance of STA even showing up for games now. Right now there are publics in NoVa & MoCo that could dispense of STA easily. Some of it is also coaching. Love or hate Bullis, they have a good program. What can the STA coach do aside from having their admissions director/lacrosse coach beg his college playing connections at Yale to get a kid in over his lacrosse level head once every few years? STA should drop down to the league that has Potomac, Flint Hill, etc.
