Introducing the inaugural American Family Insurance ALL-USA Preseason Boys Lacrosse Team powered by 3d Rising.
Selections were based on on-field accomplishments during the high school season, statistics and level of competition. Player comments by Casey Vock...
FIRST TEAM
Sam Romano, Episcopal School of Dallas (Dallas)Year: Senior
College: Syracuse
Romano, considered to be the top player in the state of Texas, will leave the Lone Star State for upstate New York when he enrolls at Syracuse next fall. The athletic Romano is a rare blend of slickness and toughness and has proved himself against teams from lacrosse hotbeds. He is poised to have a huge senior season for Episcopal School of Dallas.
Nick Mellen, West Genesee (Camillus, N.Y.)Year: Senior
College: Syracuse
Melen has drawn high praise from legendary head coach Mike Messere since he became one of only a handful of players to make an impact as a freshman at West Genesee. He’s the best defender in upstate New York — maybe the whole country — and has a unique combination of toughness, athleticism and game sense.
SECOND TEAM
Andrew Helmer, Summit (Summit, N.J.)Year: Senior
College: Syracuse
Regarded as the best defender in New Jersey — an elite defensemen factory in recent seasons — Helmer helped lead Summit to a 23-2 record and a state runner-up finish in 2014. His footwork, size and confidence as a lockdown defender will help Summit look to repeat the success of 2014. Helmer will continue the stream of standout New Jersey defenders heading to Syracuse.
Tyson Bomberry, Avon Old Farms (Avon, Conn.)Year: Senior
College: Syracuse
Hailing from the Six Nations of the Grand River Reserve, Bomberry’s an accomplished lacrosse player — and student — and part of a decorated lacrosse family. A multi-sport athlete, Bomberry is a tenacious and skilled defender who helped the Six Nations Arrows win the coveted Minto Cup Junior A national box lacrosse championship in Canada last summer. He will mark the opposition’s top threat in each game this spring.
THIRD TEAM
Bradley Voigt, Salisbury School, (Salisbury, Conn.), Senior
HONORABLE MENTION
Nick DiPietro, Half Hollow Hills East (Dix Hills, N.Y.), Senior
