So a friends son is playing high school lacrosse, at Northmont (Clayton area north suburb of Dayton for those of you out of town). I thought he was joking at first, as as recently as 2018 when my youngest graduated no such thing locally in high school. He says in the past 6 years Ohio has went from around 20 high schools playing Lacrosse to around 130 with "nearly all the DI larger schools currently having both mens and womens lacrosse. Lacrosse is now an officially sanctioned sport at the high school level with many more schools contemplating adding Lacrosse despite budget cuts and the world we live in. Interesting the gain in popularity in Ohio in such a short time.
