Casey Powell

High School Career

Casey Powell is considered one of the best lacrosse players in history. While at Carthage, Powell was a two-time high school All-American.

Powell earned the nickname, Captain America, and helped Syracuse to the 1995 National Championship. Powell was captain of the US Men's National Team in the 2006 World Lacrosse Championship.

When he graduated, Powell was the all-time leader in points. He passed Jim Zaffuto for the No. 1 spot.

Powell enjoyed a lengthy Major League Lacrosse career, playing for several teams. At the end of the 2015 MLL season, Powell ranks first in all-time points scored with 504. His 257 goals are good for fourth place all-time and his 243 assists place him second on the all-time list.

In 2014, at 38-years old, Powell earned Major League Lacrosse's MVP honors. While playing with the Florida Launch, Powell led the League in points with 63 to become the league's all-time leader with a total of 468.

Powell played in all 14 games during the Launch’s inaugural season, scoring 30 goals and 33 assists for a total of 63 points, leading the Launch in points and assists. Powell scored in every game for the Launch and boasted the second-best shooting percentage in the League for an attackman at .524.

With a three-goal, three-assist performance against Greensboro Page (N.C.) on April 11, Northwest Guilford (N.C.) senior Sean Goldsmith scored the 400th point of his career, but he became a member of an even more elite fraternity.

Mikey Berkman is on the hunt. He just surpassed 400 career points to become the 76th player in history to reach that mark, but he has his sights set on a particular number … 22.

Of the players I am aware of, there are several that appear likely to be the next members of the 400-point club. Additionally, there are three that might be longshots but have a chance this season.

The 400-Point Club is one of the more elite clubs in high school lacrosse. As of this writing in January 2018, only 75 players are known to have reached that plateau in the history of the sport. Considering more than 100,000 players play in high school each year, that is a very elite membership. But… Read More
