Catawba Classic Lacrosse Tournament in Rock Hill, SC in June
Tournaments consist of each team playing THREE games on SAT and TWO games on SUN – with an additional game if they advance to Championship game.
At the Huntsville Tournament, our U13 Team advanced to the championship game and went home feeling proud of achieving a “finalist” recognition.
For the Catawba Tournament in Rock Hill, SC recently, our U11 and U13 Teams BOTH WON the championship game in the B Bracket and the U13 Team went undefeated for the weekend! Another exciting accomplishment that weekend was ALL 3 teams won BOTH games that they played on Sunday.
All of the players are improving with each tournament and have come together as a team – even having fun while working hard! We have all been very proud of their dedication.
They will all be headed to The Chattanooga Challenge Tournament in mid-July to wrap up the season.
Many thanks to the coaches for our 3 teams:
U11: Jason Puckett, Chuck Shallat, & Matthew Swanson
U13: Doug Brandon, Arthur Cho, Steve Tralongo & John Tamburo
U15: Siaffa Jones, Chris Cottengim
