       Last Wedndesday, the Boys Lacrosse team came away with              their first home win of the season against Campbell!

 The victory was a team effort with every player on our roster making a contribution. 

In particular Jason Kim dominated with face offs and scored 3 goals, Tanner Mikell had 4 goals, Stephen McCargo had 2 goals, and Ryan Middleton had 2 goals and 2 assists. Overall we had 6 players get on the scoreboard in a 13-8 victory. In addition to our great offensive unit Nolan Pax had a great day in between the pipes (as the goalie) and Darius McCray and Troy Price anchored the defensive unit. 

If you see any of these players give them a pat on the back for a stellar performance during the game!
