Hey guys it's Jake with Lax Weekly and today I decided to highlight the greatest (in my opinion) high school lacrosse game ever. In 2013, the MIAA 'A' conference championship took place between the Boys' Latin School of Maryland and Loyola Blakefield. This legendary matchup included lacrosse's biggest stars like Ryan Conrad, Colin Heacock, the Stanwicks and so many more. I hope you enjoy this lacrosse documentary! New videos every Mondays and Thursdays.

2019 New Jersey TOC finals was something different too.

[@wadepulliam3695]

The way I look at it, this game was pay back for the 1988 MSA championship game between these same two schools. In that case, it was Loyola with the stacked team, including I believe 3 players who became first team all-Americans in college and 3 more on the honorable mention team - some who end up playing professionally. Boys Latin was the underdog that ended up winning.

[@philrisotto8804]

Even though it's Div 3. You need to watch Massachusetts Maritime vs UMass Boston in their division playoff game on May 5th this year. 21 to 20. Umass won with 8 seconds left. Everyone in the stands, including life long lax players, said it was the best game they ever watch or played in.

[@tylerwoods91]

When pat Spencer’s on JV u know the team is filthy

[@Johnny_Blaze]

no kidding

[@smittywerbenjagermanjensen2738]

So sad he went to basketball instead of sticking with lacrosse.

[@Baltimorelax]

Joining Pat Spencer on BL JV in 2013 was a freshman named Logan Wisnauskas. Yup, that’s right, the 2013 JV Lakers who won the MIAA JV title included 2 guys who would go on to win the Tewaaraton. Imagine trying to stop that JV team. Both Pat & Logan moved up to the varsity in 2014 and were on the undefeated 18-0 Lakers declared 2014 National Champs.

[@joemaimaron2701]

[@Baltimorelax]

I’m a BL grad who unfortunately was there that night for that debacle. The entire 1st offensive midfield group (all members of class of2013) & 2nd offensive midfield group (all members of class of 2014) and the faceoff specialist Hunter Moreland all were Division 1 recruits. The 2014 team was absolutely loaded, they went undefeated in 2014 & were declared National Champs. The 2013 & 2014 teams went a combined 37-1 in the MIAA with the loss to Loyola as the only loss BL suffered in 2 years.

[@Psk896]

Did anyone else see a young RJ Kaminsky in the stands?

Craziness!

U definitely need more of these. Maybe one of the Maryland championships

[@jjlax7]

MIAA is arguably the best HS lax conference in the USA? No...there’s is no argument.

[@tremorviousquandrellavi8017]

IAC would like to have a word

[@aaronm8143]

Which by default in the world. I remember growing up playing in Florida my teammates would follow their records. We had a powerhouse named St.Andrews who would play MIAA teams and hold their own. This was 10 years ago. St.Andrews won states something like 8 times in 10 years. Once all the club teams in Florida became varsity though it completely changed the landscape of highschool lacrosse here. It's crazy how much it's grown. Sorry for an old man rant lol

[@rgazzano42]

Great video. Can you do the UNC VS Maryland national championship

[@LaxWeekly]

yep!

[@joemaimaron2701]

I remember that game was so intense only for a d pole to blow it in ot

[@nicholasduran6253]

Not sure if you’ll ever see this. But if I can recommend another game for this greatest game series would be the 2014 Bryant vs Syracuse upset. great game and great story. You’re doing great work man. Keep it up.

Finally, Jake thank you for this video. It’s about time we get a lax channel that documents games like how they do for the basketball channel JXMY. Keep it up bro this is what grows the game!!

[@LaxWeekly]

Exactly the vibe I was going for! Really appreciate it 👊

[@hownd2597]

You should break down any film you have of your highschool years, be pretty interesting to see your game.

[@spencerimre]

i’m loving the SB Nation vibes from this

[@DaveVoyles]

Private schools are always frustrating, because they are able to gather so much talent from local high schools which can ONLY gather students from their district. The private schools have the opportunity to get students from anywhere.

[@turdferguson7112]

Yeah for sure! They can really hurt any HS sport like that. I never saw what the fun is when the loaded team is just crushing others. Plus the best way to get better as a player, is to play better teams, but they get their scholarships I guess. Hahaha

[@akish302]

I love how unenthusiastic the commentators were when Loyola scored at first.

[@Path817]

Greatest high school game. Sayville vs Smithtown West 2009. Suffolk County Championship div 2 Take a look at that game. Everything you could think of including one of the coaches being tossed

[@jeffholt3841]

MIAA Best high school conference in the country.

Hey Jake! Thanks for making all these great videos!! I was wondering if we could get a film breakdown of Connor fields and how he (5’11 160) can dominate incredibly athletic defensemen without being huge or ridiculously fast

[@johnmckeon4775]

Awesome video. I'd suggest doing one on John Jay Cross River beating Yorktown in the NY Section one chip in 2018. (And the next year too) Great rivalry between them.

I feel like lacrosse is a game for kids in rich areas that are too athletic for baseball, too scared to play football, and can’t ice skate...

Or it’s just fun.. played football an baseball. Lacrosse is just more fun, you right tho I can’t Ice skate

[@jacobstevens7046]

The cut to the disappointed Latin fans made me choke 😭

[@Padoinky]

It was wise of you to add the “in my opinion” disclaimer…. Your timeframe of reference is a bit limited, perhaps due to your age, recency bias and your reliance upon those matches that are more easily portable to the YT video format? I’d submit that from the late 70’s forward, you’d easily find 4-5 key HS games per year, across CNY, MA, MD, VA and NC, that would be of similar fanfare and talent showcase, IMHO of course. And should you ever want to truly showcase “The Creator’s Game”, I’d suggest that you reach out to the Iroquois Nation’s Box Lacrosse community.

[@mcsquilliam3978]

What is the background song? Nice beat

[@colecorrigan6376]

got it on the nose with this one, I was in 6th grade and front row for this game. Crazy.

[@tuckerwelty3913]

Anybody else prep rj kaminski at 0:05

[@THExBLAZEx88]

Duke v Notre Dame (2010), or maybe Amy Syracuse the same year. You should really just do the whole 2010 championship, that year was wild.

[@bobfakington2015]

Hey man, don’t know if you know about this game. Last year Brother Rice beat Catholic central with 1 second left in the Michigan state final. I highly suggest you look at it!

[@liamneimeth3980]

damn ward melville was number 3, a DAMN PUBLIC SCHOOL that’s crazy

[@nobilior3217]

That was terrible defense on the last goal. He should have never been able to get that pass in-front of the goal. One bad defensive play cost them the game.

[@seanmattson1652]

Take a look at NY state high school championship in 2017. Ward Melville’s comeback is legendary.

Sheehan (the oldest) is in broadcasting. Wick (#2) & Coco (#3) followed Sheehan at Georgetown. All 3 are married & have children. Sheehan’s oldest son is a freshman at Loyola HS. Tad (#4 - the oldest son) played at BL & Rutgers, he is now in the special forces. Steele (#5) played at UVA & won the Tewaaraton. Wells (#6) played at BL & Hopkins. Covie(#7 - the youngest daughter played at Boston College. Shack (#8 and youngest) played at BL & followed Wells at Hopkins.

[@jamesconnor2461]

Why won’t they let black kids play lacrosse

[@alo1405]

? not sure if this is a race-bait comment or if you really don't know about the black players in lacrosse? Hall of fame running back Jim Brown is still one of the best college lacrosse players of all time and said he would've picked lacrosse over football if there was a pro league back then, Dante Trader Jr is switching back to lacrosse from football at Maryland, Rickey Miezan is switching back to lacrosse from football this year, Kyle Harrison, Shamel Bratton (look up his highlights on youtube), Jovan Miller, Myles Jones, Romar Denni, Isiah Davis-Allen just to name a few are all great black lacrosse players. Kinda like hockey, lacrosse has just been popular at upper class private schools like BL and Loyola in the video for a while but it's been growing and getting more diverse which has been cool to see

[@zomj14]

BL won the national championship in 2014 right?

[@Baltimorelax]

Yes, went 18-0 & declared National Champs. BL 2 year record in 2013 & 2014 was 37-1, the only loss was this game to Loyola HS.

[@joecarozza8745]

Do the Haverford vs malvern prep 2014 interact championship

[@larrybaker9924]

How many of these guys play high school football ?

[@RFW-yn6li]

The Kraziest part is that Heacock graduated that year but was replaced by Pat Spencer. BL went 18-0 in 2014 and 38-1 for the 2013 and 2014 seasons, collectively!

[@Baltimorelax]

Logan Wisnauskas was a freshman playing along side Pat Spencer on the 2013 BL JV team. Yup that’s right, the 2013 BL JV team (which won the JV title) included 2 guys who would go on to win the Tewaaraton.

[@relaxingvibes5011]

2006 Long Island Suffolk County Class A Championship. #1 in the nation West Islip vs #2 in the nation Ward Melville. Final score was 4-3 West Islip victorious. tell me how #1 and #2 in the nation are in the same division and this is not a blown up best lacrosse game ever. There are 5- D1 close defense commits. probably one of the best defensive games youll ever see in highschool. all the fire power on both teams and the score was 4-3

[@bnasty5614]

This is a year late but team from my Section played west islip in the 2005 state championship and got absolutely routed 14-2 I think. That team was absolutely filthy
