Don't forget: Legacy Lacrosse Cup Friday and Saturday
Teams honor the legacy of Milton resident Parker Jackson
|
MILTON, Ga., April 24, 2014 - Don't forget that tomorrow and Saturday the City of Milton will help present the 7th Annual Legacy Lacrosse Cup at area high schools and parks.
During this popular tournament, 26 men's and women's elite high school teams from across the country will go head-to-head to embrace competition, develop character and honor the legacy of Milton High School lacrosse players Parker Jackson, who was tragically killed in a car accident in 2006.
Weekend tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for students. To catch all the action, check the full men's and women's game schedule at www.legacylacrossecup.com.
Jackson was passionate about friendship, competitive lacrosse and his spirituality, so parents Bo and Lauren Jackson started the tournament in 2007 to promote his personal values. The tournament aims to honor Jackson's legacy by communicating to student athletes how their everyday decisions can lead them to positively influence others.
This 25-game tournament features a high level of competition, with eight of the 16 men's teams and eight of the 10 women's teams playing in their respective state championships last year. The marquee game showcases NCAA Division I heavyweights Mercer University vs. Bellarmine University at 3 p.m. at Milton High School's stadium.
