Where you went to college doesn't really matter when you apply to law school - the LSAT is about 75% of the equation. The top dude in my law school class went to Salisbury, and my law school was top tier. Like Reply Quote

The younger cook kid and a few more offensive weapons plus the two student defensemen and not the mention the goalie will be very successful in the coming years. mcdonough is very strong two as they recruited the best player from crabs and hawks but they look weak on the defensive side.

In actuality, CHC had a tough year for the 2026 lax recruiting. Many kids that Kelly was coming after hard - a few who were being recruited for lax and football - opted for other schools, including Loyola. CHC definitely does not have as strong of a 2026 lacrosse class as Loyola or several other schools including McDonogh and SP. Like Reply Quote

The good lax programs will have a total of about 4-6 2026s on varsity, each. Few will have an impact on even a single game. And then next year all the rest of the 2026s will make varsity too, lol.

Re: Boys High School B_O_T_C #399712 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A You can have a kid double rostered. But if you have a varsity kid play in a JV game, you become ineligible for the jv playoffs. Also, if your kid gets pulled up for a varsity playoff game, that counts as being a “varsity athlete,” per the transfer rules/penalties. Like Reply Quote
