Video: Amazing LAX goal from 80 yards
See the wild play from Ohio that happened this week.With few head-to-head matchups against ranked teams during the week, there was little change in this week's MaxPreps Xcellent 25 National Boys Lacrosse Rankings presented by the Army National Guard.
Darien made the biggest move, as it jumped from No. 20 to No. 10 after a win over Niskayuna. The only newcomer is Severn (Md.), which replaced Ward-Melville (Melville, N.Y.).
