Agreed.

Lacrosse is a game of 1:1 matchups.
The better coaches will improve their preparation as more film becomes available.
Comparative scores alone tell us very little about the competitive makeup of future matchups - especially this early in the season.

Faceoffs and ground ball battles do not care who is committed where.

Tiers within leagues and the DMV will emerge over the next month.
In the meantime, I love everyone talking their s**t!
I am not convinced we know who's who quite yet.

Wow. TIL Archbishop Curley is still around. I thought the Diocese of Baltimore closed them 15 or so years ago when they did there consolidation and closed schools like Cardinal Gibbons .

Half the kids committed to play in college won’t pan out at the D1 level or retire after 2 season.

It’s just a fact.

PVI has a 1 goal OT win against STAB. STAB then beats Spalding. And now PVI is supposed to dominate the WCAC after years of irrelevance? Seems a little early, no?

If their offense is better than SJC D, I have yet to see that. PVI boosters may be jumping the gun a bit, but I love the enthusiasm.


Okay Johnnie, you’re right. Everything runs through military road (except the last two years). Big Tasty will return and make everything okay for you.


Unclench, Janey. Seems like he was asking a perfectly reasonable question. Time will tell all around.


If SJC lost to Ryken with same players in the field today, good chance they could lose to McNamara.

Spalding was ranked #7 in IL and #6 in USA Lacrosse and STAB beat them handedly.

PVI beat STAB. Just dropping that here


PVI shows up really well on film with this game with a great win. Balanced scoring both at attack and middle. I love the Richmond mid on offense, although he can't play D a bit. He has real explosion in his legs. The D is decent, but not great. They do play together and seem to communicate the slides well. I still like SJC a bit more, but I wouldn't be surprised if PVI beats them. The rest of the WCAC is just average right now, with GC being the biggest disappointment. Still, a lot of season left, so things can change.


GC can recover but it is not their year to win. I think your WCAC champs are a bit more disappointing than GC. They lost by double digits to Severn, who is in the bottom quartile of the MIAA. DM really just looks pathetic. Apologies to GZ, but the league is a two horse race, edging to PVI.

PVI defense probably better than SJC offense, and PVI offense probably better than SJC D. PVI weakness is faceoff. This will be the game to watch coming up in a couple of weeks.

Landon is no good this year. Has graduated too much talent the last 2 years and this year senior group is very weak and despite the impressive commit list for the juniors they seem to be all hype. Also seem to be undersized across most of their lineup.
