# 3990  2025 All-Section Five List Released

The Section V Lacrosse leadership has selected first, second and honorable mention lists of All-Section players. The 2025 first team lists fifteen players and includes the six All-Americans previously announced. "The first six athletes on the first team are easy" said Section Five Assistant Coordinator, Paul Wilson. "after that, it becomes more difficult as we have so many excellent players. With the six first spots taken, there are only nine more places on the first team."

To be nominated each player was required to be selected to their first team all-league team (except Independent teams). The lists were selected from a pool of ninety-two players. The selections were reviewed by Chairmen of each of the two leagues, three at-large coaches, the Lacrosse Coordinator and Assistant Coordinator. "It is a difficult task", Wilson continued. "There are so many talented players, so many different opinions, and so many elements to consider." Players are reviewed for their performances, the strength of their opponents and how their stats relate to the quality of their opponents. "Certainly, the strength of a team's schedule is a factor when reviewing a player" said Section V Coordinator Mike Simon. 

Although grade and league were not major factors in selection, the list shows the skills that are found throughout the section. Ten Monroe County teams were represented on the lists, with the rest representing Finger Lakes (6), and Independents (3). Showing that the "Best of the Best" can come from any age group, there were 26 seniors, 11 juniors, 6 sophomores, and 2 freshmen listed. Distribution among the positions shows 13 midfielders, 12 attackmen, 7 defensemen, 5 FO specialists, 2 LSM, 1 ssdm, and 5 goalies.
