They'll lose. Book it.

Are you for real? CH playing any kids that aren’t on a crazy good club team? Or are they playing a slew of freshmen? Come on, really?! With the size roster they have, don’t tell us they’re inexperienced. Please, they’re just bad. No excuses.

I hear McD beat Deerfield Academy in a scrimmage in Florida. Good win for the MD area against a great opponent.

Not a Severn fan but why should they go back to the B conference? Because they finish in the middle of the pack every year and are unlikely to ever win a championship? That is the problem with most of the posters on this board. You think only undefeated teams and championship contenders should be worthy of playing in games in the A conference. Good luck with your three team conference.
Good for Severn... and MSJ, JC, STP, STM, Gilman (these days), Spalding (minus 21-22), and others for competing and developing at the highest level.

People posting with their heart because they are not good enough for some schools and had to take what they could get/afford. Rather then internalize it and accept it, they lash out anonymously at schools on a message board. Be proud of whatever school your kid got in to and stop with the jealousy.

Scrimmage? Went to Florida for a scrimmage?

St. Paul's flew out to Cali for a scrimmage against LaJolla High

As McD fans say, “come on it’s just a scrimmage, no one cares” (when they lost to Bullis on 3/4). Now we’re supposed to be impressed?! Not so fast…

Right…Costabile wasn’t good enough to play anywhere other than MSJ.

Some kids prefer to play local. Some kids prefer to have a better shot at significant minutes, earlier. Some kids want to develop their talent instead of being just a number. Some kids want to be part of building/achieving something special or unique. Some kids want to be allowed to play more than one sport. Some kids take the best financial package they are offered.

Lots of reasons kids choose schools other than the (recent) top few.

They are to young to get into Boys Latin

Some kids parents are not lunatics trying to manufacture success for their kids.

They won't reject your admission for being under 16 years old in 8th grade, it just means you won't see much playing time with the lax team.

But seriously BL is K-12.

One of the few schools to offer Driver's Ed in Middle School

Not really. If you scrimmage and pull your starters at halftime when you were in the lead and play the rest of the roster for the remaining 3 quarters it’s markedly different than a 4 quarter only starters scrimmage played like a game. Not commenting as to whether said team was impressive or not, the second scenario is a better gauge of things to come.

it's *too genius

It’s “too,” genius.

Navy somehow beats Hopkins with a bunch of unskilled kids who “settled” on Severn because they couldn’t get in to or play for BL or Spalding…

No one said that BL or Spalding were better schools academically than Severn, but c'mon - Severn isn't Harvard. And the average lax player at Severn is without a doubt not as skilled as the average BL player (or Spalding right now). Ryan Wade isn't walking through that door.

With the amount of “upsets” happening, when are people going to realize the talent is spreading & not necessary clustered to one school

Hereford, Fallston etc couldn’t beat the JV teams of the top 11 teams on this list. 1A and 2A lax is a step up from rec. Laughable

Do some research and find out what clubs kids on these public school teams play for. Don’t be bitter bc you pay for private. Everyone still thinks you’re fancier, don’t worry.
