Boys lax draw at a glance

It's become a given that the best boys high school lacrosse in the area is played either at the private schools or in the suburbs, yet two city schools received top seeds in the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association boys lacrosse tournament draw, and a third school got a No. 2 seed, when the field was unveiled this week.

Unranked Forest Park got the top seed in the 2A-1A North region, and a first round bye into the regional quarterfinals. They join No. 9 Glenelg in the west region and unranked Joppatowne in the South as No.1 seeds in the 2A-1A tournament, which will be settled in the semifinals May 16 and 17 at Reservoir and the finals at UMBC Stadium on May 20 or 21.

City, which is also unranked, grabbed a No. 1 seed in the 3A-2A South region, and will meet the Howard-Hammond winner in the regional quarterfinals Saturday. Unranked Lansdowne got the top seed in the 3A-2A North region, and a bye into the second or quarterfinal round against the Towson-Dundalk winner. The four region winners will meet May 16 or 17 at Annapolis with the winners there advancing to the state title match on May 20 or 21 at UMBC.

Finally, Walbrook, the relative newcomer among the city's lacrosse powers, got the No. 2 seed in the 4A-3A South region, behind top seed Kenwood. Both teams received byes into the regional quarterfinals, where Kenwood will get the winner of the C. Milton Wright-Perry Hall game, while Walbrook will host the winner of the Southwestern-Aberdeen first round match. North Carroll will host the 4A-3A semifinals on May 16 or 17, with the winners advancing to the state title game on May 21.
