Well, once again, we’re in our usual mode of throwing darts at a map in search of the best girls’ lacrosse team in all the land.
Usually, you can find the best teams in the best locations such as Long Island, Fairfield County in Connecticut, and the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland. But is the landscape changing as the sport diversifies geographically?
Well, we’ll see what happens at the end of the season. Here’s our wild guess as to what the 10 best teams in America will be this spring:
1. Olney Good Counsel (Md.) 21-0
2. South Huntington St. Anthony’s (N.Y.) 19-0
3. Rosemont Agnes Irwin (Pa.) 16-5
4. Mount Sinai (N.Y.) 10-7
5. Darien (Conn.) 15-5-1
6. Owings Mills McDonogh (Md.) 17-2
7. Bayport-Blue Point (N.Y.) 16-3
8. Brooklandville St. Paul’s (Md.) 16-5
9. New Canaan (Conn.) 21-1-1
10. Charlottesville St. Anne’s Belfield (Va.) 22-1
And bear in mind: San Diego Torrey Pines (Calif.) 17-4, Lewes Cape Henlopen (Del.) 18-0, Delray American Heritage (Fla.) 22-1, Wilmette Loyola Academy (Ill.) 21-3, Glenelg (Md.) 17-1, Morristown (N.J.) 23-1, Sayville (N.Y.) 21-0, Newtown Square Episcopal Academy (Pa.) 14-4, Tredyffrin Conestoga (Pa.) 21-4
