The second annual National Senior All-Star Game will be played on Saturday, July 9 at 7 p.m. at Navy-Marine Corps Stadium in Annapolis, Md. Forty-six elite seniors were chosen for the game based off of their high school and club careers, with extra emphasis added to their performance as seniors for their high school teams.
The 46-player group represents 13 states and the District of Columbia, a nod to lacrosse’s ever-growing talent base across the country. The game will be live streamed on Lax Sports Network with longtime broadcasting professionals Mark Dixon and Paul Carcaterra on the call.
“What a fantastic group of young men,” National All-Star Games founder Ryan McClernan said. “We are incredibly honored to name these 46 players who have proven time and time again that they’re the best players in the country as National All Americans. They deserve the recognition and the opportunity to play together at historic Navy-Marine Corps stadium. This is going to be a unique opportunity for them as we celebrate their outstanding careers and even brighter futures.”
