McDonogh (Md.) Ranked No. 1 in USA Lacrosse High School Boys' Preseason National Top 25

THE WAIT IS OVER. High school lacrosse is back.

We love lacrosse at any level, but something hits different about interscholastic sports. Powerhouse programs reload, underdogs rise and the battle for championship glory begins.

Our annual preseason dive into the top teams and players yielded our most extensive coverage yet. New this year, teams with post-graduate athletes are eligible for USA Lacrosse regional and national rankings, while we will continue to produce public schools-only lists following a successful pilot in 2024.

Led by sensational senior attackman Brendan Millon and seeking an unprecedented fourth straight MIAA A championship, McDonogh (Md.) starts the 2025 campaign at No. 1 in the USA Lacrosse High School Boys' National Top 25.

In-season updates to the National Top 25 will begin March 11. Rankings are compiled by USA Lacrosse Magazine staff and contributors with input from high school coaches around the country.
