Week Two:

Week in Review:

It’s finally here!  The 2001 high school season opened with the Jamboree over the weekend.  With Lakeside and Overlake unable to attend the Jamboree still included 19 different teams participating as Bellevue, Mercer Island, Port Angeles and Bainbridge had JV squads competing as well.

Highlights from the weekend included the debut of the Seattle Metro Team: Panthers Lacrosse Club as well as the green and gold of Roosevelt.  Both clubs appeared to have a good turnout and seem ready to make some noise in the “B” division!

Bainbridge Island kicked off their season with a showcase match-up against Century out of the Oregon High School League.  Showing why they are Washington’s defending state champs, the Spartans got on the board early and jumped to a 9-0 lead.  The scoring was well spread and the game ended 14-4.  Scoring for Bainbridge was as follows: Kelly 3g, Smith 3g, Hayashi 3g, Steinecker 2g, Evans 1g, Fairbank 1g, Kale 1g Bainbridge seems ready to defend its crown!

Preview of Upcoming Week:

The season truly kicks into full swing as every team opens play this week. 

Defending “B” champions Maple Valley and “B” runner-up Nathan Hale waste no time getting initiated into the “A” league with games against state runner-up Lakeside and defending state champs Bainbridge respectively. 

Port Angeles has a full slate for the week as they open with 3 games in 4 days including the only inter-division game of the week against Eastside. Let the games begin…Keep an Eye on…

• Maple Valley A vs Nathan Hale            

• Thursday, March 15 @ Nathan Hale

Should be war as the two sides know each other well.  A rematch of last year’s “B” final, this will be the first of many battles as “A” league foes!!
