LAX Season Begins!

It was a gorgeous day for the first game of the Coyote Lacrosse season. We traveled south to Mullen High School on Wednesday to watch the varsity team win 15-3. D-man’s good friend was a beast on the face-off battle and the team looked good for their first outing in a couple of years. 

The team is ranked 8th in the state with a couple of the young men headed to play lacrosse in college. There are only two teams this year and D-man was chosen to play varsity. He got into the game a few times and had a couple good defensive plays. 

His girlfriend was even able to come to the second half of the game after soccer practice (unfortunately, they won’t be able to see each other play much because theirs games and practices overlap each other). But very sweet of her to come down and see him play.  

And a bonus for us, we reached out to Marshall’s long-time college friend (who lives down south) and had an impromptu drink after the game with them - normalcy is upon us. 

Here’s a video with some highlights of the game. D-man made the video around the 1:30 mark. The video was dedicated to two individuals that died during the pandemic - a coach that lost his battle to brain cancer and a former player who died of a drug overdose. What a rough year. I really like the message from the coach in the beginning of the video. May we all work to create circles where everyone is included.

Fun to be at the field again!
