Marissa had a fun Lacrosse season (I think they are all fun for her). I think they only lost 3 games. That shows a huge improvement over last year when they only won 3 games. They were a brand new team last year, and more than half of the girls had never played before, many never having seen a game played. I am so proud of Marissa and all of her team. They have so much fun when playing, and are happy at the end of the game whether they won or lost.I was able to help out this season by running the offical game clock, which helped me to understand the game a little more. It is a complicated game for those who are not familiar with it. It is evan difficult for those who are familiar with boys Lacrosse because the rules are so different. The boys can hit each other, the girls have to be more civil to each other.
At the end of the year, the girls vote for next years team captain, and the current team captains hand out awards. Marissa was elected as on of three team captains for next season, and her award was "Lightening Legs" for running her white leggs up and down the field playing midfield and where ever else they put her.
Next year the team will be a Varsity team as opposed to a JV team, which means the stats mean something, and College scouts will be at some of the games. Marissa would love to play for a College level team. It will be her last year as a high school player, and I find myself looking forward to freezing on the sidelines when the season starts in the early spring.
