and Recruiting Rundown, launched in 2009.
Get caught up on the latest news right here, right now by visiting LaxLessons.com’s groundbreaking, imitated, but never duplicated Lacrosse Insider. It’s the No. 1 source and unparalleled leader for recruiting news, analysis and objective information in the NY/NJ/CT tristate hotspot and the entire lax galaxy, featuring nationally respected, award-winning multimedia news and sports director, manager, producer and editor Joe Lombardi, the author of the latest edition of “Lacrosse for Dummies.” Access Insider here.
After a rain-drenched Tuesday of action resulted in delays and a lot of changing on the fly, including moving games scheduled to be played on grass fields to the main stadium turf, the Maverik Showtime National Lacrosse Recruiting Spotlight caught a break from Mother Nature on Wednesday, and its evening all-star games were played under partly cloudy skies.
Be sure to check out LaxLessons’ Lacrosse Insider premium coverage section for insights and analysis from Showtime.
Here’s the rundown of the two all-star games.
