It just depends on your tolerance for winning in the conference.

Do you want to ride the pine for a "winner" or contribute to a team that's "building?"

I find much of this kind of funny, seeing as even the bottom half of the A league are still a top 15 teams in the state.

MIAA is overrated . Yes they have some really good teams as do other HS conferences like DC/NVA/Philly, NJ, LI, NY . Take the bottom half of MIAA and it would lose to most LI top 1/2/3/4th teams in better conferences.

All the MIAA teams are in the top 15 because public school lacrosse stinks! There are no good players in the public school leagues.
