At the end of each sport season, the NYSPHSAA honors those teams that excel in the classroom. For lacrosse, a team must have at least eleven players who have a 90% average or better during the spring season. 
One hundred and eighty-four NYS lacrosse teams were named this spring, with Charles W. Baker HS (Section 3) taking the highest honors this year with a team average of 96.39. Roughly 400 teams play in New York State with about 46% earning the honor. The complete spring list is here.
