Volleyball won the championship of the B division. That doesn't count.

LOL, are you the "Banner Police"? Nut.

Except that Sidwell routinely defeats St Albans in many sports. It isn't the 1980's anymore.

My goodness, what a mean-spirited and grudging response. It also doesn't make much sense, given that this is a 60-page thread that originally started because Sidwell's football team was winless in the league. Now that they've won that same league, it seems like it might be okay to post a non-nasty reference to that development.

Good for them! My kids don't go there but they've got friends from sports on various teams there. I used to try to post a few years ago to note that they had some good programs and athletes but the trolls made it too tiresome.

Aah, yes. The world is black and white, eh? Either your child attends a sports-obsessed school, or he/she attends a school with basically no sports.

Isn't it just possible that there's something in between? Can't some people want their child to attend a school that is strong in both academics and athletics? For those people, Sidwell is not very attractive.

Umm, ok. So what? I think Sidwell would be a great fit for my kids and I really hope they are admitted. Doesn't matter to me one bit if it's not what other parents want for their kids.

Congrats to Sidwell for winning the championship of a terrible league.
