Brunswick (Conn.) Tops Nike/USA Lacrosse High School Boys' Preseason Top 25

Brunswick (Conn.) is No. 1 in the Nike/USA Lacrosse High School Boys’ Preseason National Top 25, announced Tuesday. Brunswick brings back plenty of firepower from a team that lost just once in 2022.

Culver Military Academy (Ind.) looks strong at No. 2, and Boys’ Latin (Md.) is No. 3 just ahead of another Mid-Atlantic powerhouse, Georgetown Prep (Md.). St. Anthony’s (N.Y.) rounds out the preseason boys’ top five.

With each region beginning play in different weeks — the South and West start before the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and Northeast get underway — our high school contributors will provide in-season updates in each active region prior to the first National Top 25 update.

Previews of the top 10 teams from the South come out the week of March 6. The West and Mid-Atlantic previews are unveiled the week of March 13, and watch for the Northeast and Midwest previews the week of March 20 — along with updated top 10 rankings from the South and West. USA Lacrosse Magazine will also release 25 players to watch for both boys’ and girls’ lacrosse that week.

The first National Top 25 update comes March 28. From there, rankings will be updated each Tuesday throughout the spring. Continue below to see the Preseason National Top 25 and the Top 10 rankings for each region.

USA Lacrosse Magazine contributors consult with high school coaches across the country to develop the Nike/USA Lacrosse National Top 25 and Regional Top 10 rankings for boys’ and girls’ lacrosse.
