2019 Michigan High School Lacrosse Rankings: Final Boys and Girls Standings Revealed

How do Michigan high school lacrosse teams rank in 2019. Which teams top the boys and girls divisions. What factors determine team rankings in Michigan high school lacrosse. How do strength of schedule and goal differential impact team ratings.

Understanding the Michigan High School Lacrosse Ranking System

The Michigan high school lacrosse rankings provide crucial insights into team performance as the state tournaments approach. These rankings, updated daily by Laxnumbers.com, take into account several key factors:

• Team records
• Goal differential
• Strength of schedule

For boys’ lacrosse, the rankings are divided into two divisions, while girls’ teams are ranked in a single combined list. However, the Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) state tournament features two divisions for both boys and girls.

Girls’ Lacrosse Rankings: Top Contenders and Rising Stars

The girls’ lacrosse rankings showcase some formidable teams vying for the top spots. Who leads the pack in Michigan girls’ lacrosse? Rockford High School stands at the pinnacle with an impressive record and rating:

• Record: 6-2-1
• Rating: 92.33
• Average goal differential: 4.88
• Strength of schedule: 87.45

Rockford’s dominance is evident in their unbeaten streak against Michigan teams since 2016. Their challenging out-of-state schedule, including a tie against Illinois’ New Trier High and a decisive victory over Barrington, further solidifies their top ranking.

Top 5 Girls’ Lacrosse Teams

1. Rockford: 92.33
2. East Grand Rapids: 91.21
3. Forest Hills United: 88.82
4. Hartland: 88.75
5. Bloomfield Hills Marian: 87.42

These rankings highlight the competitive nature of girls’ lacrosse in Michigan, with teams like East Grand Rapids and Forest Hills United hot on Rockford’s heels.

Boys’ Division 1 Lacrosse: Powerhouses and Challengers

In the boys’ Division 1 rankings, Birmingham Brother Rice emerges as the undisputed leader. Their stellar performance is reflected in their statistics:

• Record: 12-0-0
• Rating: 95.55
• Average goal differential: 8.58
• Strength of schedule: 86.97

Brother Rice’s undefeated record includes impressive victories against tough out-of-state competition, such as a narrow 12-11 win over Cincinnati’s St. Xavier and a commanding 15-5 triumph over Mariemont (Ohio).

Top 5 Boys’ Division 1 Teams

2. Detroit Catholic Central: 92.45
3. Hartland: 90.01
4. Lake Orion: 87.19
5. Plymouth: 87.06

The competition in Boys’ Division 1 is fierce, with Detroit Catholic Central and Hartland presenting strong challenges to Brother Rice’s dominance.

Boys’ Division 2 Lacrosse: Rising Stars and Dark Horses

Forest Hills Central leads the charge in Boys’ Division 2, showcasing exceptional skill and strategy throughout the season. Their only loss came against Division 1 powerhouse Brother Rice, emphasizing their competitive edge. Recent victories against Detroit Country Day, Cranbrook, and Caledonia, all by margins of 12 goals or more, underscore their dominance in this division.

Top 5 Boys’ Division 2 Teams

1. Forest Hills Central
2. Forest Hills Eastern: 85.89
3. East Grand Rapids: 85.47
4. Spring Lake: 84.03
5. Detroit Country Day: 83.38

The close ratings among the top teams in Division 2 suggest a highly competitive field, with potential for upsets and thrilling matches in the upcoming state tournament.

Impact of Strength of Schedule on Rankings

Strength of schedule plays a crucial role in determining team rankings. How does it affect a team’s overall rating? Teams facing tougher opponents throughout the season often receive higher ratings, even if their win-loss record isn’t as impressive as others. This factor rewards teams that challenge themselves against strong competition and provides a more accurate picture of their true capabilities.

For instance, Rockford’s high strength of schedule (87.45) contributes significantly to their top ranking in girls’ lacrosse. Similarly, Brother Rice’s challenging schedule (86.97) in boys’ Division 1 enhances their overall rating and reinforces their position at the top.

The Significance of Goal Differential in Team Ratings

Goal differential serves as a key indicator of a team’s dominance and consistency. Teams with high positive goal differentials demonstrate their ability to not only win games but to do so convincingly. How does this impact their rankings?

• It reflects offensive prowess and defensive solidity
• Indicates consistency in performance across different opponents
• Helps distinguish between teams with similar win-loss records

In the rankings, we see top teams like Rockford (4.88), Brother Rice (8.58), and Hartland (7.75 in Division 1) boasting impressive goal differentials, contributing to their high overall ratings.

Preparing for the State Tournaments: Teams to Watch

As the Michigan high school lacrosse state tournaments approach, several teams emerge as strong contenders across all divisions. Which teams should fans and opponents keep an eye on?

Girls’ Lacrosse

Rockford stands out as the team to beat, but East Grand Rapids and Forest Hills United are close behind. Hartland’s undefeated record (10-0-0) makes them a dangerous dark horse in the tournament.

Boys’ Division 1

Birmingham Brother Rice’s perfect record and high rating make them the clear favorite. However, Detroit Catholic Central and Hartland have shown they can compete at the highest level and could challenge for the title.

Boys’ Division 2

Forest Hills Central leads the pack, but the close ratings among the top five teams suggest a highly competitive tournament. Forest Hills Eastern and East Grand Rapids could be potential spoilers.

As teams gear up for the postseason, these rankings provide valuable insights into the competitive landscape of Michigan high school lacrosse. The combination of strong records, impressive goal differentials, and challenging schedules has set the stage for an exciting and unpredictable state tournament across all divisions.

The Role of Out-of-State Competitions in Team Development

Many top-ranked Michigan lacrosse teams have faced out-of-state opponents, contributing to their overall development and rankings. How do these matches benefit Michigan teams? Playing against strong out-of-state competition offers several advantages:

• Exposure to diverse playing styles and strategies
• Opportunity to gauge performance against top-tier opponents
• Enhanced preparation for high-stakes tournament play
• Potential boost in strength of schedule ratings

Rockford’s girls’ team, for instance, has played tough out-of-state opponents like New Trier High and Barrington from Illinois. Similarly, Brother Rice’s boys’ team secured a narrow victory against Cincinnati’s St. Xavier. These experiences likely contribute to their top rankings and prepare them for the challenges of the state tournament.

Historical Context: Defending Champions and Legacy Programs

Understanding the historical context of Michigan high school lacrosse adds depth to the current rankings. Which teams have consistently performed well over the years? Rockford’s girls’ team, for example, hasn’t lost to a Michigan opponent since 2016, showcasing their dominance in recent years.

In boys’ lacrosse, Birmingham Brother Rice has long been a powerhouse program. Their continued success and top ranking in 2019 demonstrate their ability to maintain excellence over time. Other programs like East Grand Rapids and Detroit Catholic Central have also built strong reputations over the years.

These legacy programs often benefit from:

• Established winning cultures
• Experienced coaching staffs
• Strong youth development programs
• Consistent community support

As the 2019 state tournaments approach, it will be interesting to see if these established programs can maintain their dominance or if emerging teams will rise to challenge them.

The Impact of Rankings on Tournament Seeding and Expectations

While the MHSAA doesn’t directly use these rankings for tournament seeding, they significantly influence expectations and perceptions heading into the postseason. How do rankings affect teams and their tournament prospects?

• Higher-ranked teams often face increased pressure to perform
• Lower-ranked teams may be motivated to prove themselves as underdogs
• Rankings can influence strategic preparations for potential matchups
• Media and fan attention often focuses on top-ranked teams

For instance, as the top-ranked team in girls’ lacrosse, Rockford will likely face high expectations to secure another state championship. In boys’ Division 1, the spotlight will be on Birmingham Brother Rice to see if they can translate their perfect regular season into postseason success.

However, the nature of tournament play often leads to surprises and upsets. Teams like Forest Hills United in girls’ lacrosse or Hartland in boys’ Division 1 could leverage their high rankings to make deep runs in the tournament, potentially challenging the favorites.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Michigan High School Lacrosse

The 2019 rankings not only provide insight into the current state of Michigan high school lacrosse but also offer a glimpse into the future of the sport in the state. What trends can we observe from these rankings?

• Increasing competitiveness across all divisions
• Growing parity between traditional powerhouses and emerging programs
• Rising importance of strength of schedule in team development
• Continued emphasis on out-of-state competitions for top teams

As lacrosse continues to grow in popularity in Michigan, we can expect to see:

• More schools adding lacrosse programs
• Increased investment in youth development
• Higher level of play across all divisions
• Potential for Michigan teams to gain national recognition

The current rankings showcase the depth and quality of lacrosse talent in Michigan. As these young athletes continue to develop and new players enter the sport, the future of Michigan high school lacrosse looks bright and competitive.

As the 2019 state tournaments begin, all eyes will be on the top-ranked teams to see if they can live up to their regular-season performances. At the same time, lower-ranked teams will be eager to prove themselves and potentially upset the established order. Regardless of the outcomes, the tournaments promise to deliver exciting, high-quality lacrosse and perhaps shape the rankings and expectations for seasons to come.

Jack Hughes is a family success

However, the Blackhawks forward believes that Hughes cannot be compared to any NHL player because he is better.

“When a small hockey player plays in the League, playing an attacking hockey, they immediately begin to compare it with me. I have such an impression, – said Kane (height – 178 cm, weight – 77 kg).” But I think that he makes many things better than me. It is always in motion, always at a speed and the game goes to another place, it is still very quickly entering the zone very quickly is in the struggle. ”

An excellent feature for an 18-year-old athlete who has not yet played a minute in professional hockey. But Hughes (178 cm, 77 kg) should not be considered an ordinary junior.

The US National Team Development Program (NTDP) Under-18 center has what it takes to make it in the NHL: athletic family, character, a skating that Kane calls “unique,” understanding of the game. For all these qualities, Hughes stands out from the rest of the players entering the draft this year.

“There is no second Jack Hughes,” says David Gregory of the NHL’s Central Scouting Bureau (CSB). “You can see elements in other players. He’s very agile and fast. His skating is reminiscent of (Buffalo Sabers center) Jack Eichel. They both pick up speed and have great balance. He also handles pressure well, like (Edmonton Oilers center) Connor McDavid: He can take a small chance to slip between two opponents.

Hughes was ranked No. 1 in the final CBA North American fielding rankings and may be selected as No. 1 by the New Jersey Devils on June 21 in Vancouver. He has every chance of becoming the first NTDP graduate to enter the NHL immediately after the draft.

At the end of this season, Hughes became the top scorer in the NTDP team, gaining 112 (34+ 78) points in 50 games. That is, on average, he scored 2.24 points per game. He holds the Program record for assists (154) and points (228). For two seasons in this team, the forward played 110 games, averaging 2.07 points per game.

“Hockey is in my blood. I enjoy scoring goals, fighting, training,” Hughes said.

How did a boy born in Florida, far from the most hockey state in the US, become the most promising junior in American hockey since Auston Matthews, drafted #1 by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2016? The best way to start answering this question is by talking about his family.

Prodigy

Jack was born on May 14, 2001. His father Jim at the time was an assistant coach for the Orlando team, who played in the International Hockey League. But soon the family moved – Jim became an assistant coach for the Boston Bruins. Jack was only two months old. In 2003, when Jack was two, the family moved to Manchester, New Hampshire, where Jim worked as an AHL assistant coach for two seasons and then coach for a year. There, Jack’s brother, Luke, was born. In 2006, the family again changed their place of residence. This time, the Hughes settled in Toronto, Canada, where Jim became an assistant coach of the AHL club.

It was in Toronto that five-year-old Jack became seriously involved in hockey. He raced the puck not only at the outdoor rink in Wedgwood Park, but also at home in the garage with his brother Quinn (a year and a half older than Jack).

“They were pushing so hard that the whole house was trembling,” recalls their mother Ellen. “I thought the walls would collapse. So I had to run downstairs and yell at them to calm down. The walls of the garage are still full of holes. We have a window there. We covered it with a pillow. But I can’t count how many times we had to change the glass.”

Then Luke joined the home hockey battles, which, on the one hand, helped in the hockey plan, and on the other hand, worsened the condition of the garage. Hockey is the main sport in the Hughes family, but Jim and Ellen wanted their children to try other games as well. Ellen played football, lacrosse, and hockey while at the University of New Hampshire, and Jim was a quarterback on the college hockey team.

Jack was good at basketball. He played center from the age of nine to 13, but hated training.

“I begged my mother not to take us there,” he says. “That’s the only problem.”

The attention that parents paid to other sports helped the children become versatile athletes.

“They ran a cross-country race that involved 150 kids from different schools and took the top three places,” Jim says. “The thing is, doing different sports, facing unfamiliar situations, you learn how the body functions, you start to adapt, you look for options. So we believed that playing different sports contributes to overall development.”

As a result, American hockey may achieve a unique achievement: three brothers can be drafted by NHL clubs in the first rounds in different years.

Quinn was selected seventh overall by the Vancouver Canucks in 2018 and played his first NHL game on March 28 this year. Luke will begin playing for the NTDP (U-17) team this fall as a guard and enter the draft in 2021. Jack hopes to be the eighth American to be drafted No. 1 in the NHL after Brian Laughton (forward, Minnesota North Stars, 1983), Mike Modano (forward, North Stars, 1988), Brian Berard (guard, Ottawa Senators, 1995), Rick DiPietro (goaltender, New York Islanders, 2000), Eric Johnson (guard, St. Louis Blues, 2006), Kane (forward, Blackhawks, 2007) and Matthew for (forward, Maple Leafs, 2018).

Quinn, with three assists in five games for the Canucks, not only paved the way for Jack in the NHL. He was a stimulus for him in development.

“I was four years old, he was six. I chased him everywhere, I wanted to do what he did,” says Jack. “I didn’t want to give in to him, I wanted to play with him, but I didn’t want him to give in. He made me strive for more, taught me to work, because he himself is very hardworking. I always looked up to Quinn. He never rolls straight.”

The family did not live long in Boston, but the city played a prominent role in the brothers’ lives. According to Ellen, Jack and Quinn’s parents put Jack and Quinn on skates there.

Yes, Jack was on the ice at the age of one and a half.

“We’ve always said that the stick should be held with two hands,” Ellen explains what parents paid attention to when they taught their sons to play hockey. “The body must move behind the stick, the shoulders must be rotated correctly.”

Jim wanted his kids to understand the importance of getting up to speed when cornering. He demanded that they come out of the turn at a higher speed than when they started the maneuver.

“Hockey is a sport in which you have to change direction all the time,” he says. “You don’t have to run a hundred meters in a straight line. A lot of people lose speed when they start maneuvering. To avoid this, you need to learn how to use the inside and outside of the blade.”

Ellen and Jean gave the boys knee pads, elbow pads, and hockey shorts so that falls would not cause negative emotions in children, and they would not be afraid to repeat certain exercises over and over again.

“They went out on the ice with pads so they wouldn’t be afraid to play at full speed,” says Ellen.

Jack believes that this approach paid off.

“We didn’t work on speed, which is what you need when a player is going in a straight line. We’ve been cornering all the time, that’s why we skate so well,” Jack said.

Adam Nicholas, owner of Stride Envy Hockey in Boston, has worked with Calgary Flames defenseman Noah Honeyfin, Ottawa Senators forward Colin White, Minnesota Wild forward Jordan Greenway and Matthew Baldy of the NTDP U-18s. He had never met Hughes in training, but he saw how this hockey player skates and was very impressed.

“He doesn’t go in a straight line,” says Nicholas. “If he needs to turn left, he’ll never go straight and then turn left. He’ll make a move to the right so he has more room to turn left. That way he can gain speed and get away from his opponent with this maneuver. I’m not saying he’s a skater like Connor McDavid, but they have a lot in common. ”

During matches, not only Jack’s ability to skate, but his ability to choose a position is of particular importance. John Vanbiesbroek, USA Hockey Federation Assistant Executive Director of Hockey Operations and a former NHL goaltender, considers Jack one of the most courageous players in hockey. If you add to this understanding of the game and speed, it becomes clear why Jack has every chance of becoming the first number in the NHL draft.

“He runs in the middle zone, crosses the blue line at speed and makes decisions at speed … I don’t want to compare players, but he has a unique ability to beat opponents and see what few people see,” says Vanbiesbroek.

Former forward Jamie Langenbrunner played against Kane in the NHL and with him for Team USA. In September, he coached the team at the USA Hockey Federation’s Best Young Players match. Jack Hughes played for the opposing team.

“Hughes, for all his skill, has a drive to win,” says Langenbrunner. “He’s always with the puck or wants to have it. It’s going to be interesting to watch him in the NHL for the next 20 years.”

Choice

Jack made the biggest decision of his hockey career so far in 2017.

In that year’s Ontario Hockey League draft, he would have definitely gone first overall to the Barry Colts. McDavid (2012, Erie), Steven Stamkos (2006, Sarnia), John Tavares (2005, Oshawa) and Eric Lindros (1989, Sault Ste. Marie) have been number one picks in the league over the years. In the 2016-17 season, Jack played for Toronto in the Toronto Junior League and scored 159 (58 goals, 101 goals) in 80 games there. But the striker decided to follow the example of his older brother Quinn and went to the American Plymouth in Michigan to play for the NTDP team.

“We were close to drafting him,” said Barry’s general manager and chief scout Jason Ford. “His family weighed all the options for a long time, but in the end they told us that they were Americans and Jack wanted to play for his country. It’s important to him. We did everything to get him, but it didn’t work out. We respected their decision and did not choose him at number one.”

Jack spent two seasons with NTDP. Teams from this program play in tournaments with the teams of the US Hockey League (players from 16 to 20 years old), as well as the first and third divisions of the student national championship. Hughes was coached by John Wroblewski, and under his guidance Jack grew as a person and as a player. The NTDP teams also take part in three international tournaments during each season.

The Ontario Hockey League (OHL) is another path to the NHL for young players. It is one of the top three youth leagues in Canada that make up the Canadian Hockey League (CHL). It is played by hockey players from 16 to 21 years old. Over the past six years, 89 OHL players have been drafted by the NHL in the first round.

Kane, who scored 172 (84 + 88) points in 121 games for the NTDP team (1.42 points per game) from 2004 to 2006, played one season in the OHL (London). It was the 2006-07 championship and Kane then chalked up 145 (62 assists and 83) points in 58 games. He played for the Blackhawks the following year.

“Talented guys with a level of skill like Jack Hughes will make their way to the top in any case,” says CSB director Dan Marr. excel in junior and high school hockey. It all influences which path a young person chooses. Coaches, parents, agents are always ready to help him make the choice that suits him best. They know whether he is able to take a step forward in development right now or it is better for him to move gradually. The hockey player will develop as nature intended. It does not depend on what level he plays. ”

Jack’s assisting and scoring records in his two seasons in the Program are significant achievements. He outscored Clayton Keller (Arizona Coyotes, 189 points in NTDP), Phil Kessel (Pittsburgh Penguins, 180), Kane (172) and Matthews (167), and in assists Keller (118), Matthews (88), Kane (88) and Calgary Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk (7) 7).

In 11 games this season against college teams, Jack made 46 shots, scored 18 (4+14) points, and in 24 games against clubs in the US Hockey League earned 48 (12+36) points, making 123 shots.

Wroblewski immediately realized that Jack was a special hockey player.

“Quinn played for 18-year-olds. It was mid-May. Jack had just turned 15,” says Wroblewski. “He was on the ice with 17-year-olds, the best in the country, and he looked very small and very thin compared to them. He had a sweater hanging on him. He still didn’t skate as well as he does now, but he still outplayed defensemen. For his level, he was great but compared to guys two years older than him, his speed was average.He was not yet able to impose pace, but he could manipulate opponents, as Patrick Kane does.In two-on-one situations, it was clear that the defenders could cover him if they rolled up to him correctly, but he kept them at a distance, and then either threw himself over the goalkeeper’s shoulder or into the “house”, or passed between the defender’s skates to the far post. It was very interesting to watch “He was doing well and he was smiling. Jack Hughes really loves hockey.”

In April, Hughes and 20 of his NTDP teammates traveled to the Junior (U-18) World Championship in Sweden. There he became the top scorer (20 = 9 + 11) of the tournament, and the US team won the bronze medal. Hughes set a world junior championship record with 32 (14 assists, 18 points) in two tournaments (2018 and 2019) and surpassing Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin. In 2002 and 2003, Ovechkin earned 31 (23+8) points in 14 games as part of the Russian junior team.

Jack now plays for the US team at the Senior World Championships in Slovakia, becoming the youngest player ever to play for the US team at the world championships. He and his brother Quinn are on a team of predominantly NHL players captained by Kane.

“I was very happy when I found out that I had a chance to extend the season, that it was not over for me yet,” said Jack, who after five games in the world championship has one assist, 13 shots (average playing time is 14:58). “Learning from them, talking to them, it will help me a lot to get into the NHL next season. I don’t see the tournament as preparation for the draft. It’s a chance for me to learn how to be a professional, to get to know how the system works.”

Move to the NHL

According to Wroblewski, before arguing about whether Jack is ready for the NHL, you need to look at what he has achieved in such a short time.

“I first met him two years ago. In that time, he’s completely changed,” says Wroblewski. “Look how he’s creating chances, how he’s helping the team take the initiative. Jack will be able to make a splash in the NHL next year. Maybe not in every game, but he can do it. He will continue to single-handedly threaten the net at the next level in the NHL.”

Jim, who now works for the hockey department at CAA Sports agency, thinks Jack is in a position to make his NHL debut this year if conditions are right.

“I’ve worked with guys that are two meters tall and taller and you can’t see them on the ice. So I don’t think size helps you much if you don’t know how to use it. It’s not about them at all,” he says. “Teams are now built on size, skill and speed. Those who find the right combination of these parameters have a chance to succeed.”

Hughes is the first NTDP hockey player since Johnson (Colorado, 2006 Draft) to take first place in the final North American CSB rankings. Johnson was the second of four Program alumni (DiPietro, Kane, Matthews) selected first overall in the NHL Entry Draft. Jack wants to be fifth on this list and shows his skills by playing against opponents older than him.

“Everyone wants to get into the NHL as quickly as possible. If I play in the NHL next year, my dream will come true,” he said.

All players who have been number one in the NHL Draft in the past 12 years have started in the league in the same year. Johnson played one season with the University of Minnesota and made his NHL debut in the 2007-08 season.

Jack didn’t think about going to Europe if he didn’t make it to the NHL team right after training camp.
