UMD Lacrosse Day

A video that two 11 year olds from Duluth filmed and edited of themselves playing lacrosse, wall ball and shooting on the UMD campus. This should motivate you lacrosse players out there to get out the sticks and hit the wall! These little guys are making wall ball fun!

VERY Early MBSLA Predictions

I just recently took a look at the new MBSLA hierarchy of teams.  With the departure of perennial powerhouse Delano along with a likely new contender Cretin-Derham Hall to the MSHSL, the rankings as I see them became a bit clearer.  Tartan, another up and coming team and North St. Paul also made the jump to the MSHSL this year.

Looking at the remaining contenders, I think two teams stand out to me:  St. Louis Park and Shakopee, with MontiQuois and Hudson close behind.  Both St. Louis Park and Shakopee return several key players and all-conference selections this year.  While MontiQuois and Hudson both lost many seniors, they return a few key players as well.  However, I do see them as a notch behind St. Louis Park and Shakopee.  Interestingly, if Delano had stayed in the MBSLA, I would have put them 4th behind St. Louis Park, Shakopee and MontiQuois based on their significant losses to graduation from their State Championship team.

Following the top 4, I see northern teams making a run, including a St. Cloud North team that had some significant losses to graduation and a very young, up and coming Duluth team that could make some noise this season.  Another northern team, Grand Rapids, while losing several seniors, but returning some good young players, should be tough as well.

Stay tuned as we get closer to the season start for a complete and more detailed MBSLA Top 10.
