Even though the Bulldogs barely got things going in 2020 before the season was shut down, this season’s roster looks really similar to the way it looked a year ago. Bullis graduated just one Division I recruit and two additional contributors, so there shouldn’t be many growing pains, especially with a fantastic senior class steering the ship.

As we await more teams taking the field for the first time, two new teams join the Nike / US Lacrosse High School Boys’ National Top 25. This week, it’s Loyola Blakefield (Md.) and Ponte Vedra (Fla.) entering the fray.
The Cubs opened with a 14-5 win over Westlake last week, entering the ranking at No. 21 as a result. Owen Gaffney led the offense with six goals, while Matt Gottfried was dominant in the faceoff circle to help Loyola gain a possession advantage.
Ponte Vedra joins at No. 25 on the heels of a 13-0 start following a 19-2 win over Menendez (Fla.) on March 30 and a 15-6 victory over Episcopal School of Jacksonville (Fla.) last Thursday.
