John Carroll beats Arundel 16-6.

Not allowed. They don’t have the resources to let kids repeat for no reason. Nor should they. In public school, it’s embarrassing to repeat a grade. It means you didn’t pass. My sons friend asked his guidance counselor if he could do it, and it was a big no, are you kidding me? So again, apples to apples. You might want to think about it.

Wait, there are no “reclassed” kids in public schools?[/quote]

I think the private school / public school debate is dense but can you tell me what opportunities a public school offers over a private? Seems to me they’re pretty equal all around.

Not even close to a "MIAA best team". Relax Momma

Lord. academic opportunity? Character? Can anyone live out their own bubble? Our way is better is a Joke. Play a real private school league. MIAA is a joke. Playing for fun. Lol

Prospective -

The projected (Dads say) best defensive MIAA school, with the best goalie gave up 10 goals to a public school that was supposedly slowing down (excuse) the game?

Or the best offensive team in the MIAA(dads say) could only score 11 on a public school in OT when they supposedly know how to play at a faster tempo?

🤡 weak

I’ll save my money. Not impressed.

Would love to hear more about the academic opportunities being offered to him that cannot be found in a private school?

Bullis upset SSSAS 11-9
St Albans upset Landon 9-8 OT
Prep big over Episcopal 14-3

IAC Championship open for the taking!

I'll keep my kid at STM just because Harry Brown's provides the lunch menu. WInning!!!!!

All for the glory of just having the private school bumper sticker

This is the same guy posting on Facebook congratulating St. Mary’s parents on the win and telling all his Facebook following how fun it was for these kids who all know each other to compete. Whenever you see one of those posts or comments, just be aware that it could be this guy. You are probably still pounding your fists. Put this one in the rear view mirror and move on. You have a big one with Crofton coming up.

and a nice 1/4 zip

Wait, did SP beat St Mary’s?

Did they keep it close vs Severn too?

Or is this all the excitement generated because they played a close game against one team in the A league?

No debate private schools dominate in lax in Montgomery and PG Counties…

To be fair to the very athletic kids on the SP and BN lax teams, you don't play enough competitive lacrosse to reach your potential. Sorry, playing a couple of tough games per year (these MIAA games aside) while spending most of your time preparing for "cupcake" games isn't the critical path to peak performance. Unless those players are participating on the best club teams during the Summer, their lacrosse IQ development is hampered. Doesn't mean you won't be a starter on D1 team, however unless you're a super freak athlete, your path will be more difficult.

They have lacrosse in PG County??? Who knew

and the case of White Claws in red solo cups in the parking lot !

IAC is ducking the public schools.

Obviously scared of Sherwood and Winston Churchill.

😂 We play a tough schedule. No cupcakes like the MIAA.

The thing no one seems to mention is the network that you buy into when sending your son to a private school. I am the president of one of the local private school alumni association boards and that is one thing the publics definitely do not offer.

So basically paying for college before actually paying college tuition

SP is quarter zip capitol of the world

Nice comment-just shows ignorance of the power of networking.

There’s a senior at Towson High -just a regular kid, plays sports, an athlete not a mathlete, that just got into ND. Tell me that public school was not a factor.

And can I just say when was the last time you networked with college alum to get a job?
No one from Baltimore ever leaves Baltimore, so that doesn’t get you far. Unless your in the top WASP or Jewish 1%.

Obviously one example makes it highly likely.
Just like Severna Park ALMOST beating STM means they could hang in the A Conference.
Riiight.

Keep searching.... you'll find it...... yes, your red cup......

Someone’s kid wasn’t recruited to HS. Sorry

I've got no skin in this game, but do you always totally sound like a whiney-little-(person)?

That kid is a multi-sport athlete, smart, and female. The worlds of girls and boys sports are not comparable with regards to public vs private education.

I've networked with college and HS alumni over the years. I see it work with my HS alums all the time. I get resumes all the time from young alumni. Those resumes are forwarded to fellow alums who are established in each respective profession. There are also events the alumni association hosts throughout the year. And its not just Baltimore. Our alumni association, just like all of the other private schools I am aware of, have sub-chapters all over the country. Its a fraternity in its own way. Of course so is college and, for that matter, so is lacrosse. The more the netter.

Of course a kid from Towson can go to ND. The Loyolas and CHCs feed better into those elite catholic Universities, though - fact..

Didn’t Toby Keith make famous the song red (solo) cup? Think you need a different reference if you’re alluding to this Gomer being a Baltimore MIAA qtr zip. 🤣

[quote=Anonymous]Severn’s park goalie played great 20 saves ( 10 off the pipe)

If you count the pipes as saves he probably had close to 30.

14 saves. Pipes do not count as saves.

Who counts pipes as saves?! Must be a public school rule.
No shot clocks. Stalling is allowed. Running clock if things get out of hand. Teaching softness.

Hit the wall, and play real rules, you wimps!

21 saves on film!

STM still mad. You won act like it.

Only team that stalled in that game was St Mary’s at the end of the game and SP still got the ball back…..and tied the game! Only running clock in games up by 12. How was the Ryken game? Sure it felt good to celebrate the 26th goal! SP also dumps the bench. Playing 4 middies in a game you win by 12 probably helps the other 40 guys get better! Somehow the cake schedule prepared sp to take the number five team to OT!

Severna Park daddies and mommies will be talkling about almost beating the STM for the next decade to try and justify the continuous loses over the past 4 decades in everything from lacrosse to the classroom. Character counts to those that have it..Happy Easter !

Private school networking = nepotism and racism.

Celebrating “almost” wins.

Prepping you for life as a middle manager, driving a Dodge, and sending your kid to a “good” public school.
