wow its been a few years since I have posted on the site.... it feels good to be back
My thoughts on the MIAA in general. For so long the Baltimore blue bloods seem to always forget about Saint Mary's down in Annapolis. And seriously save the bus ride excuses, traffic right now really is not that bad in a Covid year.
Outside of Calvert Hall, McDonogh, and BL the Saints have been one of the more consistent programs in the MIAA in the past 5 years however they never seem to get the respect they deserve. They won a title last in 2015 if my memory serves me right. Whenever the Saint's make is to the MIAA Semi's or even the finals (two years ago), it always viewed as a fluke or an upset. Why is that...
When was the last time Loyola Blakefield made it to the MIAA finals (Ryan Conrad era?), St. Pauls or even Gilman (Gilman seems to have been irrelevant in the MIAA since 2013). St Pauls lost to Severn yesterday, when was the last time that happened? Gilman gets rocked by Malvern Prep too (prob would have been worst if the head coaches weren't friends) For some odd reason, whether its pre-season rankings, Ty Xanders hype, the Saints are always forgotten.
Congrats to the Saints on a another signature program win last night against Calvert Hall. It's time for the Baltimore elite to start giving the Saints program the recognition they deserve as the tide is rising in Annapolis.
PS - I have no dog in the fight here and no affiliation with the Saints program.
