Thanks For Your Patience!

Many of you have contacted me about the future of FLN since I have not posted since mid-June when the FHSAA went with their huge change to the high school lax world. We are still in business! My absence has been one of personal choice as I seriously needed to take a break. It's been almost 8 years now since I starting writing for FLN and the longest break I took away from this was about a week and, as I mentioned before, have been doing this as a hobby aside from my normal way of making a living, which is also time-consuming. I went full cold turkey, including not opening my emails or looking at either the Twitter or Facebook pages (rest assured, we are adding Instagram this year!). I opened my email today for the first time and there are 738 emails waiting for me. Good and bad n

Featured Posts, Florida Lacrosse News, High School, HS Polling Booth, Lee's Corner, Polling

Alas, the season is now behind us and the Summer of Club is upon us . . . Thanks for the memories! https://youtu.be/onzL0EM1pKY Yep, believe it or not, a music video from THIS century! And I can't believe i am using a Kim Kadashian appearance either . . . building my street cred as they say. But another season has come and gone and the clock is ticking until next season. And it's time to thank everyone for all their hard work on and off the field and to our readership, which still stays invested in what we produce. The Final Four came off smoothly and thanks go out to the FHSAA and their lacrosse staff. Director of Lacrosse Alex Ozuna, who sometimes cringes when he sees me walking towards him, once again oversaw the weekend event and this year we had the help of Danielle Hogue, in

Lee’s 64-Team Bracket Alternative for 2019!

Across The LAX World, Featured Posts, Florida Lacrosse News, High School, Lee's Corner

Okay, to remind everyone of the methodology: 64 teams, 16 per quadrant The same districts, 1-32, divided by Quadrant as currently configured The District winner gets the automatic bid By quadrant, the next highest ranked teams get invited (I used MaxPreps for this exercise and there are a few at the end I might not agree with but for this exercise it suffices) I would be open to making a few adjustments, so District members don’t play each other in the first round but for now we go by the numbers Within the Quadrants we seed 1-16 to start and would like to see District winners get the first-round home game if they play an at-large team Number next to the team is the MaxPreps ranking at the state level. Three teams that fell into the top 32 at large are skipped
