It's a shame that Chaminade and St A's can't participate in the State HS tournament with the publics. The last game between Chaminade and St A's seems like ancient history while this great tournament continues on. I believe they do mix public and private in Jersey for a "true" state champion. How awesome would that be for the New [lacrosse] State tourney? One can only hope one day.
That is true in regards to NJ. There is one "Tournament of Champions" winner at the end of the year. Somewhat surprisingly, public schools have won it the last 7 years running despite the fact that Delbarton, Don Bosco, Bergen Catholic, etc. participate. Ridge won it this year, Bridgewater the two years prior, Summit the two years prior to that (and have gone 106-7 over last 5 years), etc. Great way to crown one overall winner.
