Author’s Note: This article was published on August 5th in the Palm Beach Post and is about George Moroncini, a Jupiter High lacrosse player, a senior this year. I can only print an excerpt and a link to the rest of the story. The pictures were taken by a member of the Moroncini family. Great job George!
