June 8, 2019 was the last time a high school lacrosse game was played in New Jersey. Mountain Lakes went on an incredible run to win the Tournament of Champions over Delbarton. Fast forward 682 days and a missed 2020 season later, and the Lakers are again aiming to be one of the state’s best.

Head coach Tim Flynn, the state’s all-time winningest coach, leads Mountain Lakes for his 42nd season. The Lakers will be powered by Tristan Plotts (39 goals in 2019) along with Thomas Barkauskas, Riley Albregts, Patrick Tate and a wide-ranging group of additional players.
