2026 Girls High School Lacrosse Top 25 Final Rankings
Moreover, West Forsyth at No. 2 is the story of the season. A Georgia program going 22-0 and finishing second nationally is not a fluke. It is a signal that the traditional power corridors — Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut — no longer own this sport outright. The South is building. In the 2026 girls high school lacrosse top 25, William Penn Charter sits at No. 3 with a 25-2 record. Meanwhile, their run proves Pennsylvania is still very much in the conversation, even if the top spot stayed in the DMV.
