22. Worthington Kilbourne (Ohio)

In addition to having never won the Ohio championship before, there was also something else that WK had never done in its 17-year history — beat state power Upper Arlington. Well the Wolves (21-2) exorcised two demons in 2009, claiming their first state title and also beating UA. Twice. The second came in the state …

There are some great regular-season games in the northern half of the Midwest region, but in Louisiana the postseason is here. In Shreveport, they will crown the first ever Louisiana High School Lacrosse League champion. Winning extends the season and losing only makes the summer come faster.

Also an Illinois middie and an Ohio attackman played major roles in key wins for their teams.

Culver Academy Eagles, IN (State PR: 91.90 Rank: 2) vs. Western Reserve Academy Pioneers, OH (State PR: 97.40 Rank: 9)
This game should be a great cross-state showdown with two of the best teams from their respective states. They met in 2006 and 2007 with the Pioneers easily winning both times, but this Culver team may be very dangerous. The Eagles feature a potent three-headed monster on …

Baltimore, MD – Welcome to the first in-season update of the Under Armour/Inside Lacrosse High School Power Rankings. Things have gotten off to something of a slow start as only eight teams currently in the top 25 have seen action, and Gilman’s impressive win over Landon last Friday has kept them atop the charts.
But for three teams, the early season wasn’t so kind as Haverford, Garden City and St. Anne’s-Belfield all suffered tough early season losses and dropped out of the power rankings.  Worthington Kilbourne and Upper Arlington still remain …
