Kentucky and North Carolina fully jumped into the fold last week, as well multiple Tennessee powers, and so the high school lacrosse season is officially underway across the South. And during that first week of play in those areas, much has already happened. Additionally, there were a pair of massive results in Georgia and Texas.

On April 21st, their last game of the regular season, the Hornets will play the only other team who has beaten Lambert to this point: Blessed Trinity (Ga.).
