Welcome to lacrosse. The sport with the goalie the size of a refrigerator, the sticks that look like medieval weapons, and the parents who genuinely believe their freshman is going to D1. We are open. Sort of.
Lacrosse is now live on Analytics207, which means every team in the state, every game on the schedule, every trophy worth giving out, every projection the model is brave enough to make, all of it sits inside the same dashboard you already use for the other ten sports. Boys and girls, all four classes, co-ops included, scrimmages excluded.
Lacrosse in Maine is a weird animal. Most of the state is cold and muddy until late April. Half the teams are co-ops because rosters are thin. Some teams recruit by "whoever wants to play." Falmouth is doing what Falmouth always does. Wells girls do not lose. And the County is on the map, holding it down with the Northern Maine Moose, a co-op carrying lacrosse for everyone north of Bangor. We see you.
Here is the deal with what is live, what is half live, and what is about to come online. Read this section if you only have thirty seconds.
What is live, what is being added.
The Slate is live with every game scheduled, played, and upcoming. The Trophy Room has 176 trophies awarded across boys and girls, every class, every category. The Power Index (PIR) is online and updates every night. The Matchup Lab runs head to head simulations the same way the baseball one does, which means thirteen sections of comparison once you pick two teams. The Mover Board tracks who is climbing and who is falling. The Crease, the Karma Index, and the Launch Angle pages are online for the storyline crowd. The All-Analytics Team roster is calculated.
What is not yet live in the report card sense: GameIQ predictions did a walk forward against every game already played, which trained the ratings, and they go live for paying customers starting today. So the Report Card is intentionally empty until the first games dated today or later finish. We do not grade a model on backfill. We grade it on calls it actually made before the whistle, and lacrosse predictions only start counting from today forward. Expect the Report Card to fill in slowly through May. By June it will be a real document.
We will keep adding through the season. Insights will get more frequent. The Karma Index and Launch Angle will get richer once we have a bigger sample. New trophies are likely. The bracket simulator goes live closer to playoff time. If something feels thin, it is because it is early. Come back in three weeks and the same page will look different.
Four teams worth watching, today.
The heavyweight: Falmouth boys.
Falmouth opens the season at 2-0 with a PIR of 81.49, the highest in the entire sport across both genders. Top Power Rating statewide and Best Defense at 2.0 goals allowed per game. The defense number means nobody has figured out how to score on them yet, which is the kind of statement that survives the week one sample size question better than offense numbers do. The boys side has a real heavyweight conversation though: Thornton Academy is also 2-0 and currently holds Best Pythagorean (97.6% expected) and Best Goal Differential (19-3 across two games). Track both. The first time these two play each other, the trophy room shifts.
The girls' juggernaut: Kennebunk.
3-0 with a PIR of 76.09, every win by 5+ goals. Top Power Rating in the entire girls field and the leader in Most Blowout Wins. Kennebunk is doing what Falmouth is doing on the boys side, except more violently. Three games, three blowouts, no signs of slowing down. If you are a Kennebunk parent, screenshot this. Frame it. The trophies will probably still be theirs in two weeks, but a moving trophy is exactly that, moving.
The goal eaters: Maranacook/Winthrop girls.
Pure 2026 absurdity. 2-0 with 18.0 goals per game scored and 0.5 goals per game allowed. That is not a typo. They have a half a goal allowed per game. Best Pythagorean at 99.9% expected, best Goal Differential, best Road Goal Differential. Class C girls lacrosse currently has a co-op that is averaging seventeen and a half more goals than its opponent. Whoever they have in net is currently listing "unhittable" as their LinkedIn headline. We are watching.
The streak: Wells girls.
3-0, the official MPA Heal Points leader (rank 1, TI 9.77), Best Win Pct, hottest active streak (W3), and the unique twist: Best Close-Game Record at 2-0 in one score games. Kennebunk is winning by ten. Wells is winning by one. Both are 3-0. Both are correct. The Wells trophy case has Top Heal Points Rank, Best Win Pct, Hottest Streak, Best Home Win Pct, Best vs Class C, and Best Close-Game Record on it. Six trophies, three games. That is what the Trophy Room is built to surface.
Why a moving trophy matters in week one.
We have one hundred four games played out of six hundred sixty six on the full season schedule. Which means about sixteen percent of the season is in the books. Which means every trophy on the board right now is calculated from less than a third of the eventual sample. Some of them will hold for the season. Most will not. That is the point.
What you are looking at is a snapshot. Falmouth is not necessarily the best team in Maine in June. They are the best team in Maine on April 27. If Cheverus, Scarborough, or Yarmouth string together a run, the trophy moves. Same in girls. Wells is currently sitting on six trophies. Win one of those and you take it from them. Lose a game and they lose them. The leaderboard does not care about your jersey color or how many state titles your school has hanging on the wall. It runs the numbers, every night, after every game.
The other thing the Trophy Room does, and this is why it is worth checking weekly: it surfaces teams you would never otherwise notice. Edward Little boys are the current Best vs Class A holder at 1-0 against the top tier. North Yarmouth Academy boys are the Best Win Pct holder, the Best Close-Game Record holder, the Best vs Class B holder, the Best vs Class C holder, and the Best Road Win Pct holder. Five trophies in a 2-0 start. NYA is a Class C school. They are currently the trophy collector that nobody saw coming. Until you check the page.
The serious part.
Lacrosse on this site is built the same way the rest of the sports are built. We pull from real schedules, we exclude scrimmages and middle school teams, we treat co-ops as the entity they actually are, we calculate the official MPA Heal Points (TI) the same way the MPA does, and we build our own Power Index Rating on top of that. Every metric on every page comes from the same data the MPA uses, just sliced and surfaced differently.
The unbeaten team and the winless team are both held to the same standards. We count it for everybody.
Now go yell at a referee from your tailgate chair.
