New Submission Form

Before we get into this week’s boys high school lacrosse notebook, Laxnumbers now has a new Stat Submission form for you to submit both player and coach information for inclusion in our Stat Leaders and weekly boys lacrosse notebook. This is the surest way to get a player or coach’s information added/updated on Laxnumbers. You can still tag Mike Loveday on Twitter if you’re still using Twitter, but the form opens up the ability for those without a Twitter account to get their player noticed. Let Loveday know if you run into any issues or have any questions.

Snapped

It was not a great week to be on top of the nation’s longest winning streaks. Three programs with streaks of more than 24 games had their streaks snapped last week.

St. Ignatius Prep (Calif.) ended the 24-game winning streak of Jesuit Portland (Ore.) with a 12-9 victory last week. Jack Porter led the team with six points (5g, 1a), followed by three points from Max Ripple (2g, 1a) and Stu Gates (1g, 2a). Goalie George Vlahos made 14 saves in the win.
