Section V is never lacking for lacrosse talent. This time next year, many of the local star players will be representing major Division I colleges. That’s a trend sure to continue.
For the next few months, though, they’ll stick to dominating local high school fields.
Prior to the start of the season, Section V coaches were asked to name their “players to watch” for the upcoming season. Mentions include possible All-Greater Rochester and all-league candidates, though others can surely play their way into consideration over the next few months.
