I’m really looking forward to the the beginning of next season, though in this case I’m not talking about college lacrosse. What I’m referring to here is the debut, in October, of the second season of “The White Lotus”, the acclaimed HBO satire of privilege, exclusivity, and wealth.

Former players at Avon Old Farms can be seen on elite rosters throughout Division 1 college lacrosse, including those of such perennial, surefire NCAA Tournament selections as North Carolina, Syracuse, and Johns Hopkins.

The 25 nominees for the 2022 men’s Tewaaraton Award, college lacrosse’s equivalent of the Heisman Trophy, include five players from New York. Four of those players are from one of the sport’s most entrenched strongholds, Long Island, with the remaining player coming from yet another New York hotbed, Westchester County.
