Boys LAX 

The Bishop Kelly Lacrosse program had a great spring season. This season was highlighted by the Varsity Team being State Runner Ups for the 2nd time within 3 years. Along with a JV program who ended the season tied for 1st place with a record of 8-1, ending the season on an 8 game winning streak. The Knights had many players thrusted into new roles on both the JV and Varsity teams, and they all did incredible jobs. We had a handful of individuals receive post season honors: Jr Crew Nelson All State Midfield and All State Faceoff, Jr Drew Morrison All State Midfield, Sr Fynn Ziebarth 1st Team All Division Goalie, and Soph Jaxson Handley 1st Team All Division Defense. This was a team who wasn’t picked or thought to be as successful as we ended up being, this season was a testament to the work ethic on and off the field from all the BK student athletes.

Girls LAX 

• BK Girls Lacrosse improved immensely in the 2023 season. We owe much of our success to the leadership, teamwork and dedication of the players. Varsity finished with a record of 7-4 in the regular season and took 4th place overall in comparison to 6th place last season. Varsity had two hugely impressive wins over Rocky Mountain HS this season and several other talented teams in the Valley. Next season you can expect to find the BK Girl lacrosse team listed on the State Championship trophy. 
• JV girls lax finished 4-4 on the season. The Lady Knights did a fantastic job of getting better throughout the season. We had a lot of new players and are super excited to continue to see them flourish next season
