So I guess my question is, is 2027 a down year for MD in girls lacrosse? Not saying we don't have great players which we do, but yesterday watching a game between probably the 4th and 5th best 28 teams showed just how much deeper the 28 class is.

I’d love to know what you mean specifically by “lax IQ”, I watch a lot of 26, 27 and 28 games and my big takeaway is the TOs are much less in older ages.

There’s 4-5 teams at 28, including both above you cite, that can beat anyone. With 27, it’s the big three BLC Heros M&D.

4-8 at 2027 much better than 5-8 at 2028 level, imo.
