2009 National Ratings for High School Boys' Lacrosse

LaxPower, the world's leading authority on lacrosse team performance ratings, is pleased to announce the National Coaches/Computer Ratings for high school boys' lacrosse for the recently completed 2009 spring season.

The final rankings were compiled using Lax Power's CCR rating formula, which combines the national computer rankings with a national poll. The computer ratings used for the rankings are based on over 23,500 game scores for more than 3,100 high school teams. The poll is a product of rankings by 44 high school coaches from around the country. Each of these parameters represents 50% of the final tallied results.

LaxPower congratulates these teams and their players and coaches for an outstanding achievement in 2009 as well as all of the coaches and student athletes who participated in high school lacrosse this past spring.

The Worthington Kilbourne High School boys lacrosse team's Division I state title was the result of months of preparation.

The Wolves won the title with a 7-6 victory over five-time defending champion Upper Arlington on June 6.
