Here are the facts: Spaulding will be good this year. But it will take a miracle bigger than BL's last year to beat Calvert Hall and McDonogh. Its possible, just not likely. Every year and every game in the MIAA is tough. Its great that there are 3 schools in the County that are good now. The difference isn't money and dads, the difference is which of the top programs are capable of always improving and which program's best kids show up. Talent is everywhere. Wasted talent is not.
Calvert Hall over rated again this year. McDonough and BL both lost lots of talent the miaa is wide open this year.
Spalding may stay in the mix next year also. They accept low academic kids no other schools want. Public school with uniforms.
McD has been overrated for last few years. Go down in playoffs each year. This year will be no different as they have stars on paper , but no actual stars on field.
CH will be good . but not like the CH of a few years ago. Another team with numbers that dont translate into victories. Too much nepotism going on to get to finish line. Same story prior to their dominance of a few years due to imports from out of state, not home grown relatives.
BL has another down year in regular season and goes on to Championship game again.
Loyola does their usual play anyone who has some name recognition at expense of better players, with same lousy results.
St Paul/Gilman/Severn ..Please none will be a factor.
Spalding is about to shock again with a title run .
StM is on to another year of some wins and fold in playoffs.
The Rest , do we even need to mention??
