In a thrilling finale to the spring lacrosse season, Calvert Hall College proudly stands at the top of the heap, clinching the coveted No. 1 spot in the final High School on SI’s DMV Top 25 poll for 2025. This isn’t just any old victory; it marks a spectacular comeback for the Cardinals, who wrapped up the season with a robust record of 16 wins against just 2 losses.

The Road to Glory

The excitement started to build as Calvert Hall claimed its first Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) A Conference championship since 2019. Fans were on the edge of their seats during the championship match against Archbishop Spalding, a nail-biting face-off that went into overtime, making it the first title match in MIAA history to end this way. Imagine the adrenaline, the cheers, and the collective ‘oh no’ moments as time ticked away!

Earlier this March, Calvert Hall showcased their talent and tenacity by defeating the then-national No. 1 ranked Malvern Prep from Pennsylvania in another dramatic overtime showdown. The stakes were high as the Cardinals took the game by storm, proving that they could take on the best of the best. Their remarkable resilience continued in the MIAA A conference semifinals, where they halted the McDonogh School’s quest for a fourth consecutive championship, further solidifying their position in the top spot.

The Competition

Finishing right behind the Cardinals is Archbishop Spalding, ranked No. 2, who also had an impressive season. Following them, Landon School secured its second consecutive Interstate Athletic Conference (IAC) title, proudly taking the No. 3 position. The top five is rounded out by McDonogh School at No. 4 and Boys’ Latin School at No. 5. It looks like these schools have also put their best foot forward in making the lacrosse season memorable!

Who’s Next in Line?

The second half of the poll is equally riveting! Bullis School takes No. 6, with Loyola Blakefield following closely at No. 7, while St. Paul’s School, DeMatha Catholic, and Mount St. Joseph round out the top ten, claiming spots No. 8, No. 9, and No. 10, respectively. Speaking of DeMatha, they made headlines by winning the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championship, marking their first triumph since 2019. What a grand return to form!

A Nod to Historic Wins

In the broader landscape of high school lacrosse, Severna Park made history by achieving a remarkable ninth consecutive Maryland title in Class 3A, landing them at No. 20 in the rankings. Other notable championship wins include Kent Island at No. 23 and Urbana at No. 24, both of whom secured championships in the 2A and 4A classifications, respectively.

The story doesn’t end there—drumroll, please! West Potomac ties for No. 25, celebrating the end of a 33-year championship drought with a victory in the Virginia Class 6 title.
