How good will SPSG this year. They lost a ton of talent. They have a ton of talent, but they don't have the experience of the group that just left. GCS is loaded this year. NDP is loaded at all levels. MCD is top heavy, but #1 player in the country will help all around.

MCD, GCS, NDP and SPSG are some of the top teams in the nation and will battle it out for the Championship. There is a huge talent gap particularly in terms of depth with these top 4 teams compared to the rest of the league.

are you saying the depth of the 4 top teams is not as good as the rest of the A division or they have more depth/talent than the rest of the A

The top 4 teams have significantly more depth/talent than the rest of A by a wide margin. There are bench players on the aforementioned top 4 who would start at other A schools.

Anyone have any insight on the Garrison Forest Lacrosse Program?

thought so...thanks for clarifying.

They have some good young players but nowhere near enough to be competitive with the top teams in the IAAM.

I never notice people mention Maryvale, how do they typically fare? Are they expected to improve/change much with the new coach? The school is high on my middle school daughter's list for non-athletic reasons, so I'd be grateful for any insight.

Give them a year or two and they will be more competitive.

More depth than the rest. Which means more legs in tough games. Or more players to turn to when the usual studs are having an off day. And more battles at practice where iron sharpens iron.

New coach is the real deal. They will be top flight within 2 years

SUPER WOKE culture. Not saying that’s good or bad just make sure it’s the culture your looking for.

This could be said for every division and level of all sports.

Doubtful. Pulling 1 or 2 good players a class isn't going to get you competitive with the top teams. I know they are throwing some money around but GFS just isn't the kind of school a lot of families are looking at these days for a myriad of reasons.

Solid school. Pretty affordable by Iaam standards and you know he will be there for 4 more years.
