Besides the top players in the country or players on teams with a shot at a National Championship, how many players will take the extra year of eligibility.

Heros Green lost once in the past year. That was to M&D. LBC has not beaten them

I would agree with the FOunders being much tougher academically. My son has to work much harder in Founders to get similar grades as our public school.

Misogynist with mommy issues.

Agreed. Nice to see arguably the most underrated position get some love.

Yorktown beat Rye that same season 8-4 and lost to JJ 7-6 after hitting 5 posts in the 2nd half of the sectional final
Important to keep some perspective

I’ll go with Old mill. They both have the same amount of post season success in lacrosse. Except Old mill has actually made the playoffs before. As for the academics, I’ll go with old mill again.

I honestly can't imagine what the home life of a kid on Nationals must be. T-shirt chasing on steroids in 6th grade? Seriously toxic. Most of these kids are going to be ripping a 6fter (not a lacrosse reference) within two years just to deal with their knucklehead parents. Congrats for finding 12-15 other studs from across the united states who have the same insecurities and forming a team for the weekend with the hope of maybe getting some wins against a real team or more likely piling up huge differentials on regular teams where the kids are probably playing pokeman in between games. Super Job guys. That being said, I'll save you hassle and just tell myself (a) i'm only mad because my kid can't make nationals and (b) i'll take him out back to hit the wall and try again next year.

there are about 5 girls on that team, 3 of which are recent additions who will go to big programs, sharp downward spiral after that. Most will be posting about their commitments to lower tier teams that nobody cares about. FACT! And don't get too comfortable with that fake news "#1" ranking. Everyone knows its BS based on a Corona Fall Ball where many girls didn't even play. I recall a lack of luster effort by all the "superstars" at UA. You really need to settle down! LMFAO

No clue

M&D Black, two Skywalkers teams and Hero's Green in the B bracket along with a bunch of high school teams.

Yes, we have been to a multi-school ID camp at "Big10" but it was a year too soon.
This past summer and this coming summer were the ones where we were to really hit some specific schools/camps and then go back to make sure this summer. Oh well...

I know everyone is in this same boat and recruiting will really change because of this. It almost seems that you need to have your own Insta with all of your workouts to get seen as well. Take note people!

Lets just cheer that there seems to be a season this year!

Please stop 91 overbearing Dad.

Ivies supposed to make an announcement the end of January. Makes it difficult for the kids who are waiting t enroll based on the season.

No showcases for 2025. Just money grabs for suckers
