What is a mid level D111 team? Roanoke? Denison? St. Lawrence? Hamilton? So, you people believe that a team made up of mostly 19, 20 and 21 year old men that play lacrosse at a Varsity level would lose to lets say, Garden City or Cold Spring Harbor? Really? College athletes have MUCH better training then any HS except for maybe IMG or The Hill. Men vs Boys in a contact sport? So funny. You people are out of your collective minds.
BTW, Vegas thought that if Ala played the Browns, then Cleveland would be 21 pt favorites.
Below top 100 range. Lacrosse is a skill sport. The best 17-19 year olds can beat average 20-23 year olds. There is only so much lax shape you can reach, skill and fundamentals equate to goals and stops. We can all agree an athlete on a nationally ranked HS team is no longer a boy when it comes to field presence.
Again, only a person who NEVER played college athletics would ever believe this nonsense. Cortland would destroy EVERY HS team by 20, maybe 40. Their third string would beat them by 15-20 at least.
Cortland finished in top 20 last year, so I think you are arguing with yourself. Cortland would crush a HS team, correct. Simply stated, I think what most are trying to say, is that a D3 team ranked like 100th or below would likely struggle against a nationally ranked top 10 HS team on any given year. The fact that anyone would object to this theory is surprising, as it is a very strong argument. We are talking about kids about to go play at top level of every division the next year, playing against kids that never played at that level, nor never will. What is so confusing?
