One correction to Division I lacrosse commits of current juniors:

I would say "not really" at least currently.  It's a popular sport still, but for the past 5 years or so the team hasn't been that successful in the league so there's not a constant buzz about lacrosse.  The games are also played on weekday afternoons, when most of the other kids are also involved in sports, so lacrosse games are not big spectator events generally (as compared to a Friday night basketball game or a Saturday afternoon football game).  St. Albans still produces quite a few college lacrosse players, if fewer Division I players than schools like Landon or Prep.  This year I think I saw that they had three senior Division I lacrosse commits (Yale, Lehigh, Furman), and I believe at least two in the junior class (Harvard and Dartmouth).  From what I can tell there is certainly not a "lacrosse culture" if by that you mean they are a distinct group within the school -- the kids seem to define themselves more quickly as St. Albans students than as lacrosse players.

It certainly may have been different in the past when St. Albans was more of a lacrosse power, but that's what it looks like currently to me (others may disagree of course).[/quote]
