This was one busy lacrosse weekend for Highland Park and we could not have asked for better weather.  We are proud of all our teams and here is an update on the playoffs and championships.

Division I Varsity 

Memorial kept the game really tight until the 4th quarter when the Scots got some outside shots into the cage. The defense was stellar with Cole Ogden and Case Carpenter standing out on the field as defensive powers! Memorial had a very difficult time getting a clean shot off all game. Offensively, the Scots struggled through three quarters until they ripped some shots past the Memorial goalie. D1 will play their first game Saturday in Round Rock, TX at 2:00pm against a very improved Allen team. The club is very proud of our D1 boys and their relentless effort all year. Every team in the State wants to beat HP and these boys keep pulling through. Awesome job making it to the BIG DANCE once again.  

Division II Varsity 

What a weekend for the D2 team! The first game was a battle against Magnolia and then they had to get past a very athletic TMI team who had home field advantage. These games were the most exciting games of the weekend! The Scots were firing shots until the horn blew and they averaged over 11 goals per game. This is a very exciting team with a lot of potential. D2 will play their first game Saturday in Round Rock, TX against a McKinney team at 10:00am that is seeking revenge after losing to the Scotties earlier in the season. This trip to San Antonio also had a bonus Alamo tour led by the History Teacher himself Coach Ross. Perfect story to go along with this team!

Bantam 

Bantam concluded its season with a fantastic HP playdate at the Southwest Fields. The sense of community was great as teams competed against each other.  Lots of smiling faces and a beautiful day to conclude another great season for the Bantam kiddos. We are so grateful to the volunteer Dad coaches and the time that they spend ensuring these kids have a great memory associated with lacrosse. Bantam Rocks!!! 

Go Scots!
