When the final USA Lacrosse Public High School Boys' National Top 25 teams were announced there were nine new teams joining the list. The first name atop of the list is the Bayport-Blue Point lacrosse team.
Head coach Doug Meehan led the Phantoms to a 21-1 season record and won a New York State championship. They are the only Suffolk County school inside the top 25. The Phantoms got to the championship by beating a good 15 win Wantagh team when six different players scored in the LI Championship game. Then they went on to defeat Section IX’s Red Hook in Middletown to capture the title and end the year as one of the best teams in the country.
Bayport-Blue Point claims the top spot with South Side finishing inside the top 3 and Cold Spring Harbor inside the top 10.
Bayport-Blue Point (N.Y.), Radnor (Pa.), Lake Mary (Fla.), Olentangy Liberty (Ohio) and Torrey Pines (Calif.) were the best among their respective regions.
National and regional rankings are compiled by USA Lacrosse Magazine writers with input from coaches around the country.
