I grew up in suburban Baltimore in the 80's. High School lacrosse was mainly confined to the Northeast back then, and the dominant college teams were always Syracuse and Johns Hopkins. Loyola and Towson are newcomers to the party relative to Hopkins, but have been very competitive for 10 + years.

And lacrosse was more than a sport - it was the social network and the power network. In the early 1990's, "Baltimore Magazine" showed a picture of a lacrosse team from Gilman High School from the early 1970's. Most of the players in the picture were highlighted as some of the most prominent businessmen in Baltimore - CEO's of the few public companies they had at the time, bankers, lawyers, etc. I found it an interesting picture as I did not attend Gilman nor did I play lacrosse, and wondered what it took to make it big in Baltimore.
