We started out playing Centennial - and unfortunately we lost that game. After a quick lunch the Rams won their second game in overtime against Franklin High School. We played Ravenwood on Sunday morning... and even with a loss, this was the best game of the weekend.

Varsity vs St. X

2011-03-26T22:39:00.008-04:00

The game was called at the half for lightning -Lightning can suggest the emotional shock that we experience from sudden and unexpected events. Lightning can be destructive yet it can also show the illuminating brilliance of inspiration. We talk of being ‘struck’ by a great idea or insight. Lightning also reminds us of the awesome power of nature and how many of the forces that govern our lives remain beyond our control.
Take it any way you want.

Late night on Friday - home at midnight or after and at the zoo by 6:30 am Saturday. Players volunteered during the Throo the Zoo run. They had a little time between setting up tables, unloading cars and opening a few hundred cases of water to create a little artwork using the Powerade bottles. Notice anything?

The water stop set up midway through the race kept another group busy. Over 2000 runners and lots of water bottles to open before they came through -

V vs Henry Clay

2010-05-09T22:58:00.007-04:00

You can see additional pictures of the game on the Henry Clay LaxPower page.

Thanks to all of the parents and players that traveled to Ohio State for a day of lacrosse - and to Coach Clifford for making the trip too -

Not only did the boys get several games in, but they got to watch some great games.

Our day started on turf, and then we were moved inside to the The Woody Hayes Athletic Center. The facility is one of the best indoor facilities of its kind in college athletics. It contains an indoor field which is 400 feet long, 220 feet wide and 65 feet high and is covered by All-Pro Turf. What an experience for the team. We finished the day with two games outside.

Addison Sears, his mom and Coach Clifford participated in 'Triple Play' ,an article in VYPE magazine. Addison answered 10 questions - the other two tried to 'guess' his answers. To see how everyone did - check out the on-line version. Personally I don't think Addison knows himself as well as his mother does... or he didn't predict her answers very well.
