Rankings: Big adjustments in this week’s boys lacrosse top 25

Posted on by Matthew Reynolds

HighSchoolOT’s statewide boys lacrosse top 25 rankings had to change after Apex lost to Green Level and Charlotte Country Day fell to Cannon School.

Apex dropped to eighth and Charlotte Country Day to ninth. Cannon School was the only new team in this week’s rankings, going to No. 17. The Cougars had been out of the ranking for two weeks.

Also, as the year has progressed, it’s become clear that some early results were even better than they appeared on paper, so Marvin Ridge and Lake Norman Charter are in the top 15. Christ the King also leapt five spots.
