A small percentage of high schools play lacrosse here in South Carolina. I’m not sure about other states. Keep in mind South Carolina is not as populated as other states.
Don’t think there are enough kids playing in the South for schools to be competitive with other schools in the country on the NCAA level. South Carolina has an excellent club team but that’s not close to NCAA play on the national level.UNC Is very good but only has one or two players from North Carolina. Duke is very good but very few kids from North Caroilna goes to Duke for school let alone lacrosse. It’s basically the University of New. Jersey in Durham IMO . Little Limestone College in South Carolina is playing for the D2 National title, they have won it several times over the years they don’t have any kids from south of Virginia playing for them.
It’s a fast growing sport but until it really catches on, may take years, to field a competitive, national contender NCAA team you are going to have to go north to get players. The Delmarva area is probably the closet hot bed for big time talent to SEC schools.
