Not sure the point of all this back and forth, but I think its fair to say that on any given day the top 4-5 publics could beat just about any private school, but for the most part, the best 6-7 privates would beat any public school most of the time (not all of the time, ex. Broadneck). The A conf. privates consistently play harder schedules while the top public schools maybe play a few competitive games their entire season. That doesn't mean they are not good teams, just means they are not seeing the same level of competition week in and week out.

As to the point about saving money, if someone picks a private school solely for lacrosse then they truly are missing the bus and doing things for the wrong reason. If someone sends their kid to private school hopefully its for the educational advantages (or religious reasons) that school may offer over their local public, and even if its a bottom tier MIAA A school, that player will still play against top teams each week, rather than playing against some of the lower tier publics that struggle to even field teams.
