A win would send Ponte Vedra into Saturday’s championship game against Tampa Plant or St. Thomas Aquinas.
All four of those 2A programs are ranked in the top 28 in the nation by MaxPreps.“Two W’s and a state championship,” said goalkeeper Nolan Parlette.
As superb as all of those totals are, it’s been extremely difficult for public school teams in lacrosse to get over the finish line in front of the private school behemoths.Private schools have dominated the state lacrosse series, winning 11 of a possible 14 state championships since the sport was officially sanctioned in 2008. St. Andrew’s and Lake Highland Prep have combined to win nine of those and Aquinas the other two.
Ponte Vedra’s blueprint to prepare it for the rigors of the final two games has been to beef up its regular season schedule as much as possible so nothing is a surprise. Two of the Sharks’ three losses have come by a goal apiece to Plant and St. Andrew’s, both of whom remain alive. For first-year coach Chris Polanski, there’s another number that gets his attention, too.
