The population of Long Island as of 2014 was 7.8 million, the population of Maryland as of 2014 was 5.9 million...let's drill it down a bit further...being that the bulk of the private schools in Baltimore come from the Balt Metro area, we can up the population to 2.3 million...Please give the LI lacrosse is better mantra a rest...bigger population to chooses from, greater number of schools with quality lacrosse..come play in the MIAA and see what quality lacrosse is about. Expand a bit further and we have the DC and NOVA schools (Landon, Gtown Prep and Gonzaga which all play MIAA schools throughout the year)...a lot better brand of lacrosse in the Mid Atlantic in a far small pool of schools. Don't get me wrong, LI lacrosse is outstanding but it is an apples to oranges comparison. [/quote]
The population stat you are referring to is for all of LI. That includes parts of Brooklyn and Queens. The part of LI that plays lacrosse is Nassau and Suffolk counties. The combined population of both counties is approximately 2.7mm people - the same as Baltimore Metro area you speak of. Please get your facts right (or learn how to use google).
So I guess LI lacrosse is better. By the way, there is not a lot of lacrosse being played in Brooklyn or Queens...
