The DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) region is a hot-bed for high school athletics. It’s especially true in boys lacrosse where some of the nation’s best teams and conferences reside. 

With that said, High School on SI introduces the first DMV Boys Lacrosse Top 25 poll. These weekly rankings will feature teams from the District of Columbia, the Baltimore metro and Northern Virginia regions.

Headlining the opening poll is McDonogh School, the reigning three-time champions of the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) A Conference, widely regarded as the nation’s best boys high school lacrosse league. 

The Eagles, led by University of Virginia recruit Brendan Millon, the country’s No. 1 senior, will try to become the first team to successfully run the MIAA A gauntlet for a fourth straight spring.

A slew of talented challengers in the deep MIAA A will be ready to end McDonogh’s reign. In the MIAA B, Archbishop Curley will also seek a four-peat.

About a half hour south of Baltimore, along the Interstate 495 corridor, Bullis School, Georgetown Prep and Landon School will slug it out for the Interstate Athletic Conference crown.

In the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC), Gonzaga College and St. John’s College are the headliners. Gonzaga ended St. John’s two-year championship run last year.

On the public side, Urbana is the defending Maryland Class 4A state champ. Broadneck, which won the 4A crown in 2023, should be Urbana’s biggest threat.

Severna Park, Broadneck’s rival in the Anne Arundel County (Md.) league, has won eight consecutive state titles. The Falcons seek a fourth straight 3A title this spring.

James W. Robinson opens the season as the top public program in Northern Virginia. The Rams went undefeated (22-0) last spring and won the Virginia Class 6 championship.
