  Well, another season is in the books and we can only look forward to next year’s opening day! To make it interesting (and to shamelessly try to make even more teams feel happy with me!)

  There’s no doubt now. There’s a new alpha dog in Florida lacrosse and it resides in Orlando. In front of family and students Lake Highland Prep pulled away from Benjamin and gradually wore down their final’s opponent for a convincing 9-2 victory last night at IMG Academy.

  11:00am   Well, our long weekend is starting to take on a Weekend At Bernie’s feel to it with the games playing the Bernie character. Due to the rains yesterday (and the Tornado Warning – darn, thought I might have been able to check that one off the bucket list yesterday without spending a dime!) the Girl’s...

  1:35pm Waiting for the first girl’s game between Ponte Vedra and Olympia to resume with the Sharks up 1-0 with 21:25 left in the first half.
