2017 Central Mass Lacrosse Preseason All-Stars


Westboro attackman Trevor McNamara will look to build off a monster junior campaign.
By Joe Parello (@HerewegoJoe)

It may not always feel like it, but spring has sprung here in the Heart of the Commonwealth, and that means it's time to start talking Central Mass lacrosse.

Though SuiteSports will now be covering the entire state for both lacrosse and baseball (we're expanding!), you know I've got you covered with the best CMass lax coverage you're gonna get anywhere. Be on the lookout for team/league previews, an updated recruiting database, and our first Power Rankings, all coming soon.

Without further ado, here are our preseason CMass All-Stars.

Ed. Note- A previous version of this story listed Shrewsbury alum J.T Rothera as our second team goalie. That's great, except Rothera graduated last year. While I enjoyed watching him play, apparently I'm not allowed to grant him an extra year of eligibility. Dan Powers from Tynsgboro, who is still in high school, replaces Rothera.
