In an effort to grow the game and increase exposure in the Hoosier state, Lacrosse Roads of America has begun covering high school lacrosse. This is our fifth top 10 poll.

A few notes:

Culver’s prep team is not included in either the coaches top 10 or the LRA top 10.

The LRA top 10 is ranked by IU coaches.

Not every coach voted, although all coaches were invited to vote.

Match up of the weekend: Carmel at Cathedral

Can Cathedral’s defense slow Carmel’s offense? Can Cathedral’s offense score with Carmel’s offense?
