Funny. Hardly a BIG problem. Spalding is like 4-23 against St. Mary’s lifetime. They lost two games to Old Mill annex and now that Daddy Lids has taken his money to Navy, Spalding will be back in the basement where they belong. Severn/St. Mary’s is always a battle. As it should be.Creasedive wrote: ↑Tue Mar 07, 2023 1:38 pm St Mary's has to avoid 2 recent, big problems- A May collapse, and struggling to win games in AA Co.
If the Saints want to win the MIAA they need to figure out how to take care of business in their own back yard.
St Mary's has not beaten Spalding since 2019 and own just one 1-goal win over Severn in the past 3 years.
Can't be an MIAA favorite if you can't win AACo.
The good news for the Saints is that Spalding graduates a lot so they should get over that hump. Severn will be tough, but on paper, St Mary's should be the strongest in AA County this year.

"where they belong"???
ok, ok, rivalry stuff, hyperbole...but IMO, uncalled for.
I'm rooting for all of these MIAA teams to do well OC, and then battle evenly the rest of the way, with close contests.
Of course, I'd like to my favorite regain its regular preeminence, but I'm not rooting for anyone to "be in the basement where they belong".
