The top four have looked very strong out of the gate, while there were only slight changes among the rest of the latest Nike/USA Lacrosse High School Boys’ National Top 25.
Beyond the top 25, a host of teams are being considered as they jockey for head-to-head wins and the chance at some separation in the pack.
St. John’s (D.C.) flexed its muscles in a matchup of the Mid-Atlantic’s top two teams who were also in the country’s top five when it cruised by Gonzaga (D.C.) 17-6. The outcome’s margin bumped Gonzaga down two spots behind powerhouse Chaminade (N.Y.) and a Boys’ Latin team that has not lost since an opening season game against St. John’s. St. Mary’s (Md.) also moved into the Top 10 after a big win over Calvert Hall (Md.). Briarcliff (N.Y.) vaulted two teams on the strength of a promising week.
New to the Top 25 are St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes (Va.), which has a win over the South’s top team, Dallas Jesuit (Texas) among its 10-1 start, and Mater Dei (Calif.) is a newcomer as the top team from the West Region.
The heavy hitters in the Northeast made a major statement this weekend, with St. Anthony’s (N.Y.) crushing a strong Delbarton (N.J.) side, Brunswick School (Conn.) going on the road to convincingly defeat Deerfield (Mass.), and Manhasset (N.Y.) pushing the pace in a 15-7 victory over John Jay-Cross River (N.Y.). The top 10 remained intact for the Northeast rankings without a single loss among the bunch as action heats up around the region.
In the Mid-Atlantic, St. John’s displayed both talent and depth over the course of its victory over a Gonzaga team that has already proven its mettle. St. Mary’s (Md.) continues its rise as an unbeaten. The biggest change in the region came with defending New Jersey state champion Don Bosco Prep (N.J.) falling out of the top 10 after a shocking loss to Ridgewood (N.J.) in the season opener to end its 18-game winning streak. Paul VI (Va.) moves up one spot and Seton Hall Prep (N.J.) climbs into the Top 10 after a 2-0 start.
The South Region looks remarkably similar with just one change in the rankings. Lambert (Ga.) jumps Holly Springs (N.C.) after improving to 15-0, the best record in the entire region. Dallas Jesuit (Texas) and Westlake (Texas) stay just ahead of a St. Andrew’s (Fla.) team that is about to wrap up its regular season already.
The Midwest has a pair of notable newcomers. St. Ignatius (Ohio) knocked off Brother Rice (Mich.) to solidify its 3-1 start and take a top five spot. And MICDS (Mo.) bolted out to an unbeaten start through its first five games to serve notice. Forest Hills Central (Mich.) also made a move up after improving to 3-0 and Hartland (Mich.) fell after losing its showdown against Brother Rice.
Mater Dei (Calif.) used a big second half to top Corona del Mar (Calif.) and take over the top spot in the West Region. The only new team to the top 10 is a familiar program, Valor Christian (Colo.), that has lost just once. St. Margaret’s Episcopal (Calif.) is the only team to climb significantly with their lone loss coming in overtime to Mater Dei.

2. Loyola Academy (Ill.), 3-0
The Ramblers are coming off a dominant week in which they beat St. Ignatius Prep (Ill.) and Providence Catholic (Ill.) by a combined margin of 42-3.

3. Dublin Jerome (Ohio), 3-0
The Celtics have been overwhelming, winning each of their first three games by at least 14 goals.

After a blowout win over St. John Bosco (Calif.), the Sea Kings suffered their first loss of the season to Mater Dei (Calif.) in a battle between the top two teams in the West. CdM cut a three-goal deficit to one going into the fourth quarter but never could get over that hump, and the Monarchs scored five unanswered goals to run away with a 14-8 victory.

6. St. Margaret’s Episcopal (Calif.), 10-1
Austin Hicks tallied three goals and John Culley, Matt Groeninger and Makai Todd each scored twice to help the Tartans survive a test against Loyola-Los Angeles (Calif.), pulling out a 9-8 win on April 2 after taking an early lead. That wasn’t the case in their only other close game this season, when they dropped an overtime loss against Mater Dei (Calif.). St. Margaret’s schedule gets tougher in the second half of the season. Previous: 8
7. Torrey Pines (Calif.), 10-4
The Falcons have lost three straight since earning a one-goal win over St. Ignatius Prep (Calif.), including overtime losses against two of Texas’ top teams last week.

Previous: 6
8. St. Ignatius Prep (Calif.), 9-2
Last week was a good one for the Wildcats. They handed De La Salle (Calif.) its first loss, 16-10, on March 29, then coasted to a 19-9 win over Serra San Mateo (Calif.) before pulling out a 12-11 overtime win over IMG Academy (Fla.). Marin Catholic (Calif.) is up next on April 5. Previous: 7
