“The highest-scoring team in Division III men’s lacrosse is not Salisbury or Tufts. It’s not Christopher Newport, RIT, or any of those other traditional powerhouses, either.

No, the highest scoring team has 108 goals in four games. That program is Centenary College of Louisiana, located in Shreveport, La.”

» Driving The News. “The Gentlemen of Centenary have already broken multiple NCAA records. The most famous of which was Gamble Harvill’s 14-goal outing in a 21-11 win over Hendrix, a team that Centenary lost to last season 24-9. Not to be outdone, sophomore attackman Noah Walsh put up an astonishing 20 points on six goals and 14 assists in the team’s most recent win, a 28-2 shellacking of Brevard.”

» State of Play. “Centenary’s recruiting philosophy is pretty simple — build from the inside out. That means constructing a team from the surrounding areas around Shreveport and then pulling from other pockets of similar growth. Places like Arkansas, Texas, and even Illinois, where Centenary head coach Billy LeClair, or as his players call him, “Coach Billy,” is from.”

» Worth Noting. “A big part of how this team has been able to score this much has been its control of the ball, helped in large part by freshman phenom Gavin Ferrington’s unbelievable 92.5-percent faceoff win rate. Ferrington, who was first-team all-state as a sophomore and junior at Parkway (La.) High School, was an All-American in his junior year. He came to Centenary from humble beginnings.”

» Of Note. “The offense is modeled off the 1-4-1 Virginia offense created by current Dartmouth head coach Sean Kirwan to maximize shot location through on- and off-ball movement. It’s completely changed how each of these young attackmen play the game.”

» The Big Picture. “Centenary is not currently a member of a conference that sponsors lacrosse, so the prospect of coming down to play what is essentially an unknown quantity has resulted in a lot of teams declining. To boot, the Centenary ship runs lean, with a 25-man roster for this current season. That number is up from past years, when the team had been as shallow as 15 players.”
