Most D1 top programs are overlooking some skills ( still need to be good) if you are a true blue athlete.

I still enjoy watching MIAA as it is only HS . and still a good game of HS lacrosse.

Too many long benches most years @ Spalding, CHC, BL, Loyola, St. Paul's & St. Mary's to develop depth. These coaches with all the players they have standing around are scared to death to play anything below 8th or 9th offensive player. Overall approximately the same 17-18 players see the field. So the kids that play are not challenged enough to get better because they know their spot is secure. Not enough practice reps to go around . Just watch tomorrow's games....
