BL - Saint Andrews game was a one goal game at halftime. BL broke the game open late in the 3rd quarter.
It was a competitive game until 6 mins left in the 4th. Benjamin has always defeated Saint Andrews 2x this year according to Inside Lacrosse. |

This sounds right. General rule is when up by 8-10 in the 4th, put the younglings in, so the scores aren't always the whole story. But also agree that good lax can be found at the top tiers across the country now. NHSLS showed me that, anyway. Some of those midwestern kids were monsters, and most of the lax boarders in the Mid-Atlantic and NE have TX, CO or FL kids who can definitely play. This is a good thing imo. |

Need the sport to continue to grow! Western Reserve from Ohio knocked off St. Paul's yesterday. |

It was only a matter of time before the warm weather states overtook the mid-atlantic. Combine year round play without the dopey forced restrictions on out-of-season team practices, out-of-season games, forced and semi-forced multiple team or sport participation, the lack of field space, the out of whack cost of living leading to migration of population and this is the end result. Lacrosse is just another field sport moving south along with baseball, football and soccer. |

| I love what they are doing in FLA but overtook is a strong word. And talk about dopey - single sport athlete lacrosse player is dopey. The game has better players when they excel at football, basketball, wrestling hockey whatever. The game is tougher and more athletic. |

Western Reserve is a complete and total holdback factory. I estimate 1/3 are double holdbacks who'd be ineligible for varsity sports their senior year in the dmv. |

This is the fallacy of schools preaching the better athlete is the multi-sporter. It may make them more coordinated but it does not make them better at their single sport. The say it so loudly because they need to fill the rosters. For every d1 player who played 2 sports, there are 10 others who didn't. IAC coaches hate playing DC tough games bc they know their players aren't as good at the beginning of the season. I'm gonna bet McD's roster has a bunch of multi-sport and Benjamin doesn't. I also know this is near the end of the FL season and this is the start for dmv. Maybe it's bad scheduling but it's also the FL kids have had a stick in their hands longer than the MD kid at the same point in the year. |

The top D1 lacrosse coaches always have recruited and preferred multi sport lacrosse players - football players.
You can’t argue it. They all say it. They want toughness. |

100%. Just look at college rosters. Single sport kids may be more skilled in HS but college coaches want tough athletes with higher upside. The days of the wealthy trust fund HS lax player having an advantage ended a long time ago and never applied to LI and upstate NY - it was a DMV and NE boarding school thing |

Look at the rosters of UMD and Notre Dame, its primarily comprised of athletes who played 2 sports in HS and excelled at both sports.
Lars Tiffany down at UVA is known for recruiting defensemen who also play hoops or football. |

I was not aware of that... A double hold back would equate to being a 19 year old or even a 20 year old senior in HS which is lame |

In God We Trust. Everyone else bring data … https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667254522000488 Supports your argument. Over 85% of professional laxers were multi sport. There are other data sets from the NCAA that aren’t lax specific, but sometimes the data lines up with common sense. |

To be fair, this just supports what elite players did or do, and it’s what orthopedists and sports medicine professionals recommend apparently. It may or may not be what coaches want. That said, if a coach wants your kid to just focus on lax from grade school onward, he doesn’t really give a crap about the kid. So there’s that. |

I'd take the Saint Andrew's middie who is headed to Notre Dame in the fall for football and lax over Millon any day of the week.
Millon is your typical year round lax bro |
