right. we have results. i'm curious about rankings. https://www.insidelacrosse.com/recruiting/highschool/state/NC/girls/19 This one strikes me as directionally accurate. Weddington is clearly the best team in the state at this point. Hough and Hickory are probably better than the current ranking. D...

All the NC girls teams results have been updated on InsideLacrosse.

Our pleasure. It's a little sketchy as you move down the ladder but as we accumulate more games, it'll look better. And, for next season, we'll have a running start so it should be great. :) Yeah, in our little 'ole state of North Carolina, there are some crazy rankings - teams with 1-8 records ran...

Gilman's twitter feed was pretty entertaining last night.

Huge conference games coming up Saturday starting at an interesting 10am at Johns Hopkins and ending at 5pm in Maryland. This is like a Sunday in the NFL—only better. #4 Northwestern at #15 Johns Hopkins 10am ESPNU #1 BC v #12 Duke 12pm ACC Network #9 Penn at Brown 12pm espn+ #16 Denver at #22 Geor...

Mid-way through the season and the Charlotte area is staking the claim as the best in the state.

Starting today, Duke will begin a stretch where they play the iron of the ACC in 4 of the next 5 games--#3 Syracuse, #1 Boston College, #6 Notre Dame, #4 North Carolina. They will have a rude awakening. They will get their hats handed to them. They'll be taken to the woodshed, etc. Whatever cliche ...

Soccer has not had to change for inclusion in the Olympics. Not sure what is all that different with lacrosse?

There is much more contact in women's lacrosse than you give them credit for. My high school daughter has bruises all up and down her arms.

I agree that the head bobbing/faking is ridiculous, but I feel like a lot of the falls are legitimately a result of hard contact.

Great points above. Anecdotally, girls indoor volleyball is taking off in a big way in pockets of the country. In fact, locally, an indoor facility recently took out its soccer turf and replaced it with sport court so it could accommodate more volleyball. I would enjoy seeing lacrosse in the olympic...

Dear Quit, Please, just stfu about the shot clock and your constant criticism of the game. The shot clock is working fine. That certainly seems to be the general consensus but you have to complain about it not going to sixty seconds on a reset. Leave it alone, Quint, it's okay, we don't have to con...

Most everyone sees the crease dive as dangerous and unnecessary to the college game yet complete silence from the NCAA on the matter. Its flaws are mentioned by commentators and coaches yet complete silence by NCAA. Shameful negligence on the surface +1 The dive is not that great. For a bunch of re...

Weddington went to Raleigh this past weekend and knocked off 3-time defending state champion Cardinal Gibbons.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Men's and Women's coaches were the drivers behind the recent change to the recruiting calendar.

Thanks for the insight. That was my thought. She's a 2021 and got invited to UA150 this year. Seems like a good list of schools (Florida, Hopkins, Notre Dame, Richmond, Syracuse, etc.) Will likely try out for Schoolgirls. UA underclass is tough since she's the younger class in the 20/21 division. Ha...

Does anyone have thoughts on the girls UnderArmour150 event? Looks like a decent group of coaches. Worth the time/cost to attend?

Two HS girls playdays this weekend on Friday and Saturday, with most of the top Charlotte-area teams in action. Should be fun to watch (if the weather cooperates).

West public schools: Weddington returns almost the entire team and should be very strong - a bunch of D1 commits. Catholic and Myers Park close behind.

Assuming Gibbons is favorite in the East. Still not sure why Catholic schools that can recruit players are allowed to play in public division.
