Their now getting their D1 kids from Pennsylvania our interac league is loaded with Div. 1 recruits, one the youngest ever to commit to Hopkins a freshman. Malvern, haverford, Episcopal, Penn Charter, Hill, Lasalle, Conestoga, St. Joeseph Prep, Germantown Academy, Bishop Shanahan, plus a ton of public high schools all within 40 minutes of eachother. That area is probably the biggest producer of Div 1 lax players per square mile than anywhere in the country.
High School lacrosse? Are you serious? Read below and these schools have flooded NCAA lacrosse.
Garden City, Manhassett, Smithtown E, West Islip, Cold Spring Habor, Ward Melville, Massapequa, Farmingdale. Than there is also a couple of private schools called Chaminade and St. Anthony's.
Yes PA is a hotbed for sure with a lot of very good players. But IMO you can't compare to LI or MD. As you read this the #1 & #2 NCAA lacrosse teams are UMD & Cornell. Both LOADED with LI kids that are not just starters but STARS! Three of the top 5 middies in the country are from LI, bottom-line is PA cannot compare to LI & MD with top NCAA players OR recruits. Not yet, maybe never.
From my knowledge of 2018, 2017 and 2016 classes in club ball:
2016's-Crabs (MD) has the best class of players and LI is 2nd with Express & Outlaws
2017's- LI is LOADED with talented. But will admit Philly area has two good groups (dukes & freedom) but LI has Turtles, Express Black, Trueblue, 91, fl$
2018- Again easy win to LI with 91, Express Terps and Team LI are also LOADED with super 7th graders
Im not dissing PA at all, I might be missing some good PA teams so please post them here. At 3D Blue Chip in Fla the stand out players were the Mid Atlantic region and it was the LI & MD players that were the standouts.
