New teams enter the NHHSSports Boys Lacrosse Coaches Poll for the first time this season

Once again, the top half of the NHHSSports Boys Lacrosse Coaches Poll remained the same, but there has been some shuffling at the bottom, with a pair of new teams joining the top 10.

Bishop Guertin, coming off its 13-11 win over Pinkerton, held on to the top spot while the Astros were also a unanimous choice for second. Climbing into the poll for the first time are Salem, riding a four-game win streak, and Winnacunnet, despite dropping its first game of the year to Dover.
