Go Purple!


We had our first Roanoke Valley Ladies Lacrosse Association game of the season today against Lylburn Downing Middle School. It was a well played game on both sides and was 3-2 going into the final few minutes. Then, we tallied the last two goals to make the final 5-2.

I was very proud of our girls - they gave great effort and played well together. I didn't keep track, but I would say we got the majority of the ground balls. We even had 3 assisted goals, which I thought was pretty great for a team of elementary school kids where usually the scoring relies on individual efforts. This all from kids who were younger (some as much as three years younger) than their opponents and had only had two practice sessions.

Unfortunately, the lack of practice meant that we didn't play the girls who were new to the game this year, but they will get their chances. Go Purple!

Good job coach! And not to 'dis the coaches from last year, but it seems like you are doing a fab job and providing some instruction whilst knowing the rules!
