Saturday night the Florida Launch hosted the annual the end of season banquet for the South Florida Chapter of US Lacrosse. All-Americans, Academic All-Americans and special award winners were honored. As I have said before, this evening is one of the very best events of the year.

The season has been a major disappointment so far as the Launch have stumbled to an 0-5 start in the face of higher expectations coming into the season. In a league that only plays 14 regular season games the minimum target to getting into the playoffs is 8-6. Rochester and Boston finished tied for 3rd and 4th with that record last...
One of the best things about being involved with FloridaLacrosseNews.com is getting to know so many new people. For instance, you get to hang with former MLL and NLL great Kevin Finneran and talk about his upcoming (three weeks from now) tournament to be held over Father’s Day weekend in Delray Beach.
Set at the beautiful natural turf...

Now that the season has ended time to announce the results of our Bracket Challenge.
And as you might expect, the only entrant to correctly pick the St. Thomas Aquinas Raiders to win it all has won the Bracket Challenge!
And not only did he get the correct winner he also got the entire semifinals and finals correct too!
So...
Withdrawal is already setting in . . .
Okay, maybe about Thursday after I’ve caught up on my beauty sleep.
First, for those of you who read the STA-PV article and are wondering about the Hearns-Hagler reference:
The best 8+ minutes of action you will ever see . . . but STA-PV and STA-Benj OT was pretty close

For those, including me, who aren’t as...
Miami lacrosse. Ho hum? An afterthought?
