CHS @ #7 is a complete joke given that very weak schedule. Loaded with powerhouse programs for sure.



Says the guy when CSH has been top-ranked EVERY year in I don't know how long. Quick - tell this everyone else in the lacrosse world they are all wrong and THIS guy really knows what's going on. Hereafter, all HS ranking will come directly from THIS guy! Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt!


"Top ranked" secondary to a perpetually weak schedule and having certain "media types" having boy crushes on a few of the players. They don't and will not play anyone else on that list above. Isn't that interesting? While several on that list will play several others. So who belongs: the boy crush team or the legit top ranked teams who actually play each other?
