Sad News: Westminster Christian Captain Lucas Alvarez Dies in Boat Crash

  Not exactly the story I like to lead off the day with.  Was told of this last night at the CC-Western game.  The entire lacrosse community sends our best wishes to the family, school, lacrosse team and friends.  The link contains the news segment from CBS Channel 4 in Miami, as well as an Instagram post from his girlfriend that everyone should watch.  It goes without saying, hug your loved ones every day.
