The Lady Saints Lacrosse team started the season out with a loss against ROBS by two. Determined to get better, the ladies bounced back with force and were able to hold a six in a row game winning streak! Their hard work and grit paid off as they finished the season 8-3 overall. The Lady Saints lacrosse team also took some time to share their love and passion for lacrosse by helping a neighboring school build their program through running a practice and scrimmaging together. It was a great year for the lady saints lacrosse team! The Varsity boys Lacrosse team finished up their season with an unbelievable win over River Oaks Baptist! The team from ROBS were undefeated until they played our Saints and in sudden death over time we scored to take the win! Our boys finished their season 5-4 all while playing some very well developed lacrosse teams. Both Coach Kurt and Coach Andrew were extremely proud of their lacrosse teams! On the softball field our Lady Saints went 7-2 in District, 8-2 overall, and made it to the 2nd round of the GHCAA playoffs seeded in the #3 spot. Despite our loss to St. Vincent de Paul, Coach Morales is very proud that we once again made it to the playoffs! Track & Field will have their GHCAA Championship Meet this Saturday at Barnett Stadium and Sports Complex starting at 8:00 am and will go all day til about 5:00 p.m. Please come out and support our T&F athletes!!!!
