The list is long.

Very long.

But chances are multiple girls lacrosse players not on it will emerge as stars this spring.

The Journal News/lohud Girls Lacrosse Players to Watch list for 2024 includes more than 160 athletes.

Much-pared Elite 11 and Best of the Rest lists are upcoming.

All the lists may stir conversation, especially because the local area is a girls lacrosse hotbed with about 100 players committing each year to continue their play on the collegiate level, many recruited by Division I teams.

The initial list, which is in alphabetical order, appears below.
