E's LAX Season Wrap-Up
Category LAX
Last night marked the end of the spring lacrosse season for E's 5/6th Grade Boy's team. They finished the season 12-2-1 (if I counted correctly, if not then it was either 10 or 11 or 12 wins) with loses to Hamilton SouthEastern's A Team and Heritage Christian. They tied with Carmel's Navy team.
It has been an incredibly fun sport to watch and I am sure E would tell you the same about playing. I think that the athletes and their families are greatly responsible for our enjoyment of the game. It has truly been a pleasure learning about the sport over the past few months. We can hardly wait for indoor lacrosse to start in the fall in prep for next year's outdoor season.
E (#14) ended the season with a total of 3 goals. Each of her goals was celebrated by both the team and the parents; especially the mothers in the crowd. They seem to really enjoy it when she scores.
E's first goal kind of just occurred, the result of being in the right place at the right time with her stick in the right place at the right time; but her second and third goals were definitely made with the intent of effort.
During the last game at home, on the N'Ville High School's turfed stadium, late in the third quarter, trailing Westfield 5-2 with no goals since the first period, our Miller's #8 received a good pass from one of our defenders from the our end of the field. Brock charged down the near side of the field and made a break across field towards the front of the goal. E fell in line at a trotting pace behind him, and as he drew the defense towards the far side of the goal, he shuffle passed the 'rock' over his shoulder back to E, who was waiting on the near side of the goalie's crease. She caught the pass, cocked her arms and fired just as the goalie turned to block. E's shot was aimed at the upper farside corner of the goal and found its mark, the goalie cowering slightly at the inbound shot (or so told by our #20 who watched the whole scenario unfold.) E's goal rallied the team who then pounded in 3 more shots to win 6-5 over Westfield.
Then last night, at St Simon Elementary, E' scored her 3rd goal off a goalie deflection that came her way. Shot caught the ball in air, turned a partial dodge, took a step and then shot on goal, this time aiming towards the harder to block near lower corner with success. The crowd went wild! and E received numerous compliments regarding her proper playing of her position.
