All-State Predictions for D1 and DII

[Mulloy5]

Who will make the All-State selection this year with a lot of the top players gone from last years senior class?

Patrick Stewart, Attackman, MUS

 

Led the state in total points last year, but was left out of the all-american list for some reason. A real shame considering there is absolutely no reason he couldn't be a two-time All-American

I'm not particularly a lacrosse fan, but I am curious about what constitutes "All-American" status in the sport. That designation seems to be used more frequently than in other sports at the high school level.

 

Thanks for the information.

USLacrosse puts out a list of All-Americans from every state that has lacrosse, regardless of whether the sport is recognized as a varsity sport by the state's governing athletic body. There is a vast difference in ability between a Tennessee All-American and a Maryland, or New York All-American. This gap is narrowing each year as Tennessee high school lacrosse grows and expands. I'm not sure how it's tabulated, or what system they use to determine how many each state gets, but I assume it has to do with how many teams each state has. This is a bit different than football's Parade All-Americans, or basketball's McDonald's All-Americans, where not every state is guaranteed a spot on those rosters.

Thanks. That clears it up.
