Wouldn't a tremendous pre-season event include the four top Maryland teams (McDonough, Bryn Mawr, Good Counsel, and Marriotts Ridge) facing off against the Long Island powerhouses (St. Anthony's, Garden City, Northport, and Farmingdale)? Each team plays a mini-game against the four out-of-state sides with the best record from the Maryland group and best record from the New [lacrosse] group fighting it out in a Championship match for preseason "hot bed" bragging rights?
