What you are witnessing at Coppermine is the evolution of lacrosse from the middle school to high school level. That it is say, pre-HS, put the ball in your best athletes stick and iso or screen and have her run in from top (Middies run the pre-HS lax offense). It works well, for years and the girls get praised for this approach.

Good teams start making the offense run through the attack, from GLE, where cutters face the goal, catch and shoot. This is how good HS and college teams are ran.Its multiple scorers, ball movement.

Coppermine has elite athletes, middies, dodging from top and the now HS girls are able to adjust, slide, shut it off. Through in more backer D which is designed to shut down the iso and dodge from top, and you are going to have problems.

Can and will the Coppermine staff adjust and start running a HS level offense? Will these middies adjust their style? Can the attack on that team step up with a bigger role?
