After opening against two strong in-state powers (Colerain and Winton Woods), La Salle will square-off with defending “mythical” national champ IMG Academy from Bradenton, Florida. After its home game against IMG, the Lancers will head across the nearby state line to play 26-time Kentucky state champ Trinity. Last year, the Shamrocks finished No. 19 in the HSFA 100 last season.
