2026 New Balance All‑America Lacrosse Senior Game
This weekend’s festivities culminate at Towson University’s Johnny Unitas Stadium, where the nation’s top high‑school seniors will showcase their skills. The girls step onto the field first at 5:30 p.m., followed by the boys at 8 p.m., with both contests airing live on ESPNU. The event stands as the premier celebration of elite high‑school talent, offering a final glimpse before athletes join college programs.
Inside Lacrosse and Corrigan Sports Enterprises have rolled out the rosters in waves since April, dividing players into North and South squads to highlight regional depth. These selections give recruiters and fans a clear roadmap of where the game’s biggest names are headed next. The announcements also reveal transfers, new commitments, and the competitive landscape for the upcoming season.
One notable addition to the boys’ North lineup is Griffin Cepiel, a midfielder from Deerfield who has pledged to play for Georgetown. His presence adds depth to a roster that already features multiple college prospects, making the North side especially potent. Analysts expect Cepiel’s impact to be felt as soon as the opening whistle.
Two North players are currently sidelined, flagged as injured: Tedy Frisoli and James Gillis. Their absence could open lanes for other midfielders and attackers to claim starring roles. Meanwhile, AJ Theodorakakos’s status remains in flux because of West Point obligations, leaving a question mark over the defense depth.
