Yes, football championships.

You see, many of the leading players for both teams are Division I-bound for lacrosse — not football.

    Really shows that while football may still be slightly more popular to watch at the HS level, the best HS football players know that lacrosse is what their future is. Quite telling.

    Way to go Nade. Now let’s get St. A’s in the spring for another title!

    Great run GC. Well done fellas!

  4. Canada Goose says:

    And with all the info coming out about longterm effects of concussions in football, the gap between lacrosse and football at HS level will only widen in the next few years.
