Quotes from the Champions:

"The Forest Hills Central Grade 3/4 program was thrilled with its success at the 2011 Rip the Duck. These results were a reflection of the commitment that the Forest Hills Central Ranger Youth Lacrosse Club, its parents, its coaches, and particularly its players, have made to developing this program from Grades 7/8 all the way to Grades 1/2. At the Grade 3/4 level, this particular group of kids have been playing Fall Ball, winter indoor and now the outdoor season. That team commitment really paid off at Rip the Duck." - Coach of FHC 3/4

"Watching them jell over the course of seven games was fun. Playing seven games in two days is exhausting....but the kids focused on giving it their all and playing their best and that's what each and every one of the kids did. We had a great time and thx to True Lacrosse for a well-organized lax tournament. " -Coach of FHC 5/6 A

"Forest Hills Northern loves to participate in the Rip The Duck Tournament as it pulls together some of the best teams in the Midwest for a great weekend of lacrosse. With talented teams such as Fox Valley, Lake Forest, North Shore and Forest Hills Central participating in this tournament, your team is bound to be tested. This year, Forest Hills Northern was able to overcome the difficult weather to excel into the championship round. We benefitted from some excellent play from all of our players, but in particular, our face-off specialist, Bobby Pelton, our goalie, Grant Lardieri, and our shut-down defender, Tai Verbrugge, helped give us the necessary edge to beat these other talented teams. Congratulations, True, on a great tournament."  

-Coach of FHN 7/8 A
