GIRLS LACROSSE: Cape Ann League OVERVIEW: Once again, the road to a Cape Ann League title will run through North Andover, which returns 11 starters from last year's club. Pentucket and Georgetown, which both return nine starters, could contend.
Merrimack Valley Conference: OVERVIEW: A season-long dogfight in the MVC Large division ended in a three-way tie last year with Methuen, Tewksbury and Central Catholic sharing the title. It could be just as tight this year.
