Before the Landon homers start spewing # of commits and UA players, I'm not disputing that Landon has great, individual players, but McDonough, and the top MIAA teams in general, just play beautiful, team oriented lacrosse. The IAC lags behind in that respect.

And McD finished 3rd in the MIAA. Landon is a middle of the pack team in Baltimore. It's a shame they like to play the bottom of the barrel of MIAA teams in the regular season each year.


McD wins the MIAA playoffs this year again!



The way teams have played this year, I give each team a 1 in 6 shot at winning it all.

Why is there so much POT smoking in high school lacrosse. My son plays for top MIAA team and the amount of drugs but mostly POT is unimaginable. I know this will spill into politics but I just don't see the same amount of drug use with other athletes. It's really sad to see these kids start this terrible habit. How can you call yourself an athlete and smoke pot the majority of the year. Legalizing it around this country is a huge mistake for our youth. I think more high school coaches need to band together and try to get their players away from this gateway drug. Problem is though, a lot of coaches do it to I think. My son plays basketball and football as well and those teams don't have even close to the numbers of athletes smoking POT. Get it together lacrosse coaches. Stop this nonsense.

Thank you for this post. I stay up at night wondering how so many of the players at my son's schools smoke daily and how their parents have no idea. So I thank you for acknowledging the problem, but get it together parents!! Only so much responsibility is on the coaches.

Testing for eligibility is the only way. No marketing or threats alone will work. It's become too mainstream, and unlike most serious vices, access and penalties are easing. Serious athletes would stop if they were going to get tested, or at least threat of random testing. I'm a complete hypocrite now that I have kids, but nothing good ever happens because you are high or drunk. Moderation and safety are the most realistic expectations, unless you are fortunate enough to have a kid that is extraordinarily responsible.

Forget the coaches. Be a world class [lacrosse] of a parent, so that one day you can be a super cool grandparent.

Hey dumbbell, I believe they were calling themselves that, as to say be vigilant as a parent. It was like a good thing, for those that were a little quicker on the uptake!

Just something to noodle...


Sounds nice Mom, but not reality. No team trash talks more or has more obnoxious parents than PVI. Scandals swept under rug? Players to VMI? Playoff loser. No thanks.

Move to Loudoun, hire HC not a politician and maybe things change. Until then, enjoy losses and what if's. Noodle that.


To giant man baby, you sound bitter and like the previous poster commented, "narrow-minded". That hasn't been my experience.


I told you so! Looking forward to Loudoun now? --Man Baby

Why are you parents at PVI so arrogant? We have a great experience, our kids are playing at the next level and guess what, we win in the playoffs.

You can call it what you want, but you need a new head coach and pronto.

Nah, we like our head coach, assistant coaches, school, and extended pvifamily. Oh, and we've never won a championship.

Screw that. I hope the McDonogh holdback cheaters smoke the Calvert Hall holdback cheaters tonight. Brian Kelly ha jumped so deeply into that holdback cesspool. At least all Andy does is bring in kids from all over and put them up in the dorms...

Money wins and Brian Kelly has out spent all other MIAA schools to load his team up just in time to support his boys. But you can't deny talent at CH. honestly, the B and C conferences are low level lacrosse. JC is ok but much slower and smaller game.

There is a reason they are ranked #1 in just about every poll--beat 2 top ten teams--Brunswick and St. Ignatius; and twice beat Bullis which sits in top 20 and would be top 5 if didn't lose twice to Landon. Easiest game for Landon was win over Churchill, who lost on a last second goal in MD state champs....

I agree Landon's schedule is soft. No chance they are better than mcdonough or calvert hall. They are a mediocre team when they dont win 90% of face offs.

Bullis is average at best. Saw them get abused by McDonogh. Not even remotely competitive. I'll give you St Ignatius, but Brunswick? Ok, I suppose. The MIAA teams they played really struggled this year.
It is hard not to give them top billing I guess but they are FAR from the "best team ever" as others have intimated. Not even in the discussion.

Well Lacrosse has always been a sport dominated by wealthy so it makes sense that Landon has a good team. What else is Landon competitive in. Hmmmm. Crickets. I still think they lose to CH or McDonogh.

Landon is this year's IAC Founders Cup co-champion, given annually to the school(s) with the best combined finishes in both IAC regular season and tournament play in 11 sports. Varsity tennis went undefeated. Rugby won its championship. Varsity soccer is stacked with talent for next year. If that's what you call crickets?

If you think that McDonogh's astoundingly huge endowment is not being utilized to recruit lacrosse players, then you're crazy. As far as the girls' lacrosse program goes there, approximately one in four lacrosse players that come out of the middle school will actually make the varsity team because the girls' varsity team is almost completely recruited from the outside. Don't kid yourself about any sport at McDonogh and the amount of scholarship dollars that are spent to get kids enrolled and on the field.

It is one of the few MIAA schools that can recruit from far away and board them. With a graduation class of 60-80 boys it is hard to compete against the other MIAA schools with much larger boys graduating.

Troll...Prep finished 3rd in it's conference and would probably finish 3rd in WCAC. But hey, Prep is playing tonight for a national championship! So its got that going for it....

But seriously, this shows how strong the DMV is when a team probably not in top 5 can still pull out a win against the pros at IMG....

And by the way, no schools from New [lacrosse]. No Syracuse teams or Westchester or Long Island. National Champs? Nope.

No MIAA teams either. Not much of a "National" championship without Baltimore or LI teams. Of course a Canadian team was in it so "national" was used kind of loosely anyway.
