The Hilliard Memorial Boys Lacrosse team has brought home the first Lacrosse trophy in school history! They started the tourney on Saturday as the number 4 seed in Division 5 and beat the number 5 seed, Our Lady of Victory, 7 – 0 then beat the number 1 seed, Fairfield, 11-6. On Sunday they won again versus the number 6 seed, Marysville, 6 – 4 before running out of steam and losing the championship game to Berkshire by the score of 10 – 2. They earned the Ohio State Lacrosse Championship Runner-up trophy for their fine effort. There were too many fine performances by the players to name them individually. It can be said that it was a fine team effort, one the whole school can be proud of. GO JAGS!
