we need to grow the game, but we also need to stop gassing up all these teams from FL, CA, OH, etc in the rankings. i mean, if Ponte Vedra played an MIAA schedule for a year, who are they going to beat? maybe John Carroll or Archbishop Spalding? it just makes no sense. McDonogh, St Pauls, and Gilman missed the playoffs last year; i think they'd all beat PV. BL lost to St. Mary's in the playoffs, still smoked PV by nearly 20 goals. Nothing against PV, just stating facts that having a good record doesn't mean they are actually one of the top 25 teams; if they had to play MIAA they would have a losing record.
Just to give you an idea... BL lost 7 games last year... 4 of those were conf games. (the other 3 were all ranked teams--Culver, Haverford, and Brunswick). And yet still smoked this team. Another thing is, the editor of Inside Lacrosse is a BL alum whose brother just graduated BL. And yet, he still lets teams from random spots be in the top 25 just to shine a light on different teams. I think it's nice of him, but there's no way he believes it. But whatever formula they're using isn't adequately adjusting for difficulty of schedule.
BL also lost a starting attackman before the season started. Ben Smith - who has been starting since he was a freshman and is heading for Penn in 2022.
Ponte vedra was ranked top 3 in nation last year, my team plays them and they are a very good team but Florida lacrosse is way different and newer than Maryland lacrosse so it’s obvious who’s gonna come out on top
Being from florida knowing how godly ponte vedra is down here. This game was insane
Ben Black I go to boys Latin btw but Calvert Hall killed IMG 18-3

McDonogh did not miss playoffs last year. they lost to BL in the quarter finals. BL beat them twice last year.

calvert hall is best team in country, but BL still with the most style points

Too much hype on all these Florida, California IMG teams. They wouldn't be a .500 team in baltimore
