EventsRecruiting

The most coveted weekend in western lacrosse is upon us. The rosters for the Adrenaline All American game are once again filled to the brim with the top talent from all across the entire Western United States. The annual North vs South game is set for this Saturday, June 4th, at 5:30 PM at Capistrano Valley High School in Mission Viejo, CA.

Kicking off the All-American weekend is the Stars and Stripes local youth tournament that is a prelude to the All-American game. Youth through middle School players will battle it out in games throughout the day before watching western lacrosse idols take the field promptly after the tournament ends. Lacrosse fanatics young and old will be treated to the top 60 seniors from the west in a full length North vs. South all-star game. Each of the athletes has committed to play at the collegiate level next year with an ample number of them committed to top Division I programs. Each All-American game has proven to be a high scoring affair with constant transition and highlight reel goals. In the last two years, the South team has trumped the North 20-15 (’14) and 18-17 (’15), respectively. Needless to say, there are bragging rights and pride on the line as each of these top players wants to represent their region in the west.

The 2016 rosters for the North and South are stacked with some of the best players in the country, highlighted by 48 Dl, 1 Dll and 6 Dlll players from ten different states and one province: Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Texas, Minnesota, Nevada, Missouri and Alberta. Key players in this year’s All-American game include Cole “Bubba” Fairman (Maryland), Anthony DeMaio (Boston University), Beau Botkiss (Harvard), Ryan Hastings (Duke), Samuel Harnisch (Denver), Caelehn Bullen (Cornell) and Jarrett Jones (Georgetown University).
