No. 1 Mt. Hebron (Md.) and No. 2 Moorestown (N.J.) paced 13 public schools in the Laxpower national girls top 25 in 2004.
Manhasset (N.Y.) was No. 1 and West Genesee (N.Y.) was No. 3 when the Laxpower boys national top 25 featured 12 public schools in 2004.
This week, there were nine public schools in the USA Lacrosse High School Girls’ National Top 25 and only four public schools — Manhasset being one of them — in the USA Lacrosse High School Boys’ National Top 25.
The presence of public schools in the Top 25s has been shrinking over the last two decades, but interest in them has not. There are still plenty of powerful public school programs that deserve recognition, and there are probably more requests to see public-only rankings than anything else.
The following national and regional rankings are compiled by USA Lacrosse Magazine writers with input from coaches around the country. Rankings are through games played April 2.
USA Lacrosse Magazine will update the public rankings monthly.
