2007 was the first year that the Minnesota State High School League recognized Lacrosse as a state sanctioned sport leaving it up to the individual school districts to determine whether or not it was feasible to enter the MSHSL. Prior to the 2007 year each high school team played in the Minnesota Boys Scholastic Lacrosse Association (MBSLA), White Bear Lake Area H.S.
The introduction of lacrosse as a state-sanctioned sport in 2007 by the Minnesota State High School League led to its inclusion within the MSHSL system, but left individual school districts to decide whether or not they could participate. Before this year, high schools played under the MBSLA.
