Exciting Times for High School Boys Lacrosse in the DMV!
Hey there, sports fans! If you’re as passionate about boys lacrosse as we are, then you’re in for a treat. The vibrant and competitive high school boys lacrosse scene in the DMV (that’s Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia for those who may not know) has just gotten a whole lot more thrilling with the launch of the first-ever DMV Boys Lacrosse Top 25 Poll!
Now, let’s dive right into the action! Leading the pack in this exciting opening poll is none other than the McDonogh School. These talented athletes aren’t just any team; they are the reigning champions of the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) A Conference for three consecutive years! Talk about a dynasty!
Spotlight on McDonogh School
McDonogh, with a track record of excellence, has some serious firepower backed by their star player Brendan Millon. This University of Virginia recruit is not just any player; he’s recognized as the country’s No. 1 senior. With a player of his caliber on the roster, the expectations are through the roof!
This year, McDonogh aims for an ambitious goal: to become the first team to clinch the MIAA A title for four consecutive years. While McDonogh hopes to maintain their stronghold, they’ll have plenty of fierce contenders hot on their heels, eager to dethrone the reigning champions!
The Competition Heats Up
In addition to the powerhouses in the MIAA A division, there’s strong action going on in the MIAA B division too. Keep an eye on Archbishop Curley, who is also gunning for their fourth consecutive championship! These teams are bringing their A-game, and fans can expect some nail-biting matches.
Meanwhile, the Interstate Athletic Conference (IAC) is shaping up to be a hotbed of competition with teams like Bullis School, Georgetown Prep, and Landon School all looking to seize that coveted crown. It seems that no one wants to be left behind this season!
Washington Catholic Athletic Conference Showdown
Over in the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC), the spotlight is on Gonzaga College and St. John’s College. Gonzaga upset the two-year championship streak of St. John’s last year, and tensions are high as both teams gear up to clash once again. Who will come out on top? The anticipation is simply electric!
Public High School Contenders
Switching gears to public school lacrosse, Urbana definitely deserves a mention as the reigning Maryland Class 4A state champion. But don’t count out Broadneck, who won the 4A crown just last year and is ready to give Urbana a run for their money! In addition, Severna Park, another fierce rival, is on a remarkable quest to win their ninth consecutive state title and aim for a fourth-straight Class 3A title, all this spring!
In Northern Virginia, James W. Robinson is taking the reins as the top public high school program, having wrapped up last season with a flawless 22-0 record and clinching the Virginia Class 6 championship. They’re setting a high bar for quality in the region.
