We have about a month to go in the scholastic lacrosse season, and we’ve seen a number of state finals already. This week’s finals include those for the Maryland Public High Schools Athletic Association (MPSSAA) which are being held over the next three days at Stevenson University.
One of the teams we thought would be there was Manchester (Md.) Valley, but Glenelg (Md.) stopped them in a tense, taut state semifinal. One game of note should be the Class 4A game on Thursday, as Annapolis Broadneck (Md.) will take on Urbana (Md.) as the Bruins will seek to win its fourth straight state final. And the thing is, the boys’ teams from Broadneck and Urbana will be playing the nightcap at Stevenson. Should be a fun evening of lacrosse.
