SUDBURY, Mass. — This year’s New England Lacrosse Showcase again delivered on the promise of seeing the earliest possible look at next year’s top squads in the MIAA and beyond.
NELS is a chance for high school teams to unite after their seasons and compete without their graduated seniors. It’s a very unique event and atmosphere with the players being coached by college assistants, as they cannot compete with their coaches due to MIAA regulations; as a result, leaders emerge.
It’s a competitive atmosphere that tells us a lot about the teams and the players from the rising sophomore, junior and senior classes.
