This year is a lock: CHC, BL, MCD and Gilman in the semis, More dilution with JC joining the Conference. Spalding, MSJ and no JC still don't have the critical mass to compete with the big six. Its reality folks. Maybe if more Howard County and AA public school kids went to private school but for now the answer is no. SM is the only non BC team to win the ship in the last 30 years.
It's not about critical mass, it's about alumni support and scholarships. Until MSJ, JC, and Spalding start paying for players (sorry giving support to players), they will always be second tier. The problem is that these schools will give financial support to great poor athletes and so they do have great football and basketball teams, but the lacrosse kids are usually ok financially so they don't get the recruits.
The other schools don't pretend it's about helping the deserving kids and families, they just want the Ws.
