I don't think extending the season by a whopping 3 - 5 days will cause much harm in the grand scheme of things.

It's good for the area to have an ultimate DC area champion and good for the sport. Play it at Georgetown. Make it an annual May event. Grab a few local corporate sponsors to help pay for the facility rental and charge $5 at the gate. This is really not that difficult to do.

Most of all, the kids at all of these programs would want to play in one final game for all the marbles.

I would actually question whether or not kids really would want to play, end of the day the thing that seems to matter most, and likely will be remembered the longest, is winning your conference championship, whether it be the IAC, WCAC, public school, etc. Most private schools are already playing a ridiculous 20+ game schedule (3 games in 6 or 7 days at times). Now for the moms and dads maybe winning a pseudo "DC Area Championship" might be of interest but guessing the kids value their conference championship ring over any "DC Area Championship", especially one excludes any team not in the IAC/WCAC. It was very nice to haver this event in the COVID year where there were no conference championships but doubt there is a ton of interest at the school or kid level for this.

Agreed.

There is not a need for a DC championship for seniors. This might be a good event for 2024-2026 kids like NHSLS but why would any kids who already finished school want to play when many of the top players are headed to college. Winning the IAC or WCAC is enough

That St. John's hasn't gone after kids from other schools is also a little bit of the ostrich in the sand routine. SJCHS has an assistant coach who only coaches Lacrosse and Hockey and recruits for both sports. That is his job Ladies and Gentlemen. There is a sophomore attackman at SJCHS who was a freshman at Landon last year. Other schools have experienced this same thing. When a kid is at your school one year, and at another the next, people can get testy. Coach Speaks also only coaches and I think the same can be said for Coach Heater at STA.. I think most coaches at other Schools, Belistri, McGettigan, and then all the downstream program coaches actually teach, coach other sports, mentor advisees, etc.


Prep hammered Landon. Prep would beat St. Johns, but they will have to simply let Gonzaga put it on SJCHS in the WCAC Tourney and then play transitive property.

Who finishes on Top between St. Albans, Episcopal, and Landon will be interesting. I think there could be three 1-1 records between those three teams.

Same old story with PVI-Great athletes all over the place, where is the coaching?

Sjc face off guy is technically a jr as from what I have heard he is repeating his senior year. So he has the rest of this year and next year at sjc.

I don't think this true and I have never heard of anyone repeating their senior year.

This speaks volumes about the school for even entertaining this.

Be an adult, move onto the college ranks, and see if you truly have what it takes at the next level.

Yup, this is confirmed tho he is repeating his senior year at sjc.

You guys are all fools if you think this is true 😂. I am good friends w the kid he is not repeating his senior year 😂 😂

For sure. The face of kid is repeating his senior year at St. John’s. He is now a 2024. Since he has all his credits he is going to train eight hours a day all fall and doesn’t have to attend school.
