took their lumps that day.
“We got absolutely crushed in all aspects of the field,” said senior Kyle Shanahan, one of two
returning starters off last season s Interstate Athletic Conference champion squad. “We
definitely showed we were a young team. We weren t running the offense, weren t meshing
right.”

Georgetown Prep graduated 21 seniors,
including All-Met Player of the Y ear Bobby
Gribbin, but as usual, the North Bethesda
power had plenty of talent ready to step in.
Nearly a month after their rough start, the
group continues to round into form. Even
with a 7-6 double overtime loss on Tuesday
against defending MIAA A conference
champ Gilman, the Little Hoyas (6-1) open
up on top of The Post s Top 10.
Shanahan (Bucknell) and senior Liam
Giblin, a Johns Hopkins-bound attackman
with a knack for distributing, lead the
offense, while senior Chris Hampton
(Denver) has already emerged as one of the
area s best faceoff specialists, taking over for
Gribbin. The road ahead doesn t get any
easier for the Little Hoyas with games
against No. 2 Gonzaga, No. 5 St.
Stephen s/St. Agnes and No. 3 Landon
coming in the next two weeks.
“Now we re at least running the offense and
getting good looks,” Shanahan said. “A lot of
the sophomores are starting stepping up and
play really nice. We re getting close.” . . .
(Mark Gail/THE WASHINGTON POST) - Marriotts Ridge
returns a lot of firepower from last year s state
championship team, including sophomore Taylor
Hensh.
Landon shook off its upset loss to Calverton
last Thursday with a 5-4 win over
Haverford (Pa.) the next night at NavyMarine Corps Memorial Stadium in
Annapolis. Senior Hank Brown (Drexel)
tallied a goal and an assist and senior goalie
Alex Joyce (Georgetown) made 14 saves as
the Bears (2-2) snapped the Fords 30-game
winning streak.
