Fundraising Update

3 Rivers Tournament

Team Updates

This will be a very exciting week kicking off with the

High School team playing rival Cascade Monday

night!  In this week's edition of The Peak, we will

review  what's coming up this weekend and continue

with more details about our current fundraiser with

Cedar Grove plus lots more info!

Bring a Friend Day is this Saturday, 4/21!Youth players should have all received a postcard

they can hand out to friends and neighbors as an

invitation to this event.  If you don't have one, or

need more, please let your team parent know.

The plan is to have friends attend your regular

game, and then meet after  for a fun shoot-around

so friends can get a feel for the game.

Let's make this first annual event a great success

and share the excitement of lacrosse with others in

the community!

UPCOMING EVENTS

K-2 boys showed great enthusiasm while

playing in the rain,  I didn’t hear  one

complaint!  We had a tough match up

against a strong Edmonds team but I’m

told,  from several of the boys that we were

victorious.   We also had two first time goal

scorers this weekend!  Great job boys.  

 

The 3/4 team had a rough go on Saturday

against a very good Skagit team.  The

energy level was a little low (and we were

VERY wet!) and never found our groove.

 Skagit played a great game and gave a

good lesson in passing.  We ended up down

13-5, but our  boys will bounce back now

and work on passing and catching.  The

team is growing together, bettering their

skills, & will come back strong next week!

Our 5/6 boys came alive in the 2nd half of

their game against Skagit Valley this

weekend and finished with a

commanding 11-1 victory. Our hard work

on the defense showed up in a big way,

only allowing a single, man-down goal.

Our 2 goalies combined for 12 saves and

the defense only allowed a handful of

shots-on-goal!  Good job!!!

Club chatter

...Team Updates Cont

GP 7/8 played a double header at Glacier

Peak on "Monsoon Saturday".  Our first

game against Snohomish White was a 15-

1 victory with 8 different GP goal scorers,

including 2 first-timers!  The second

game vs Edmonds was a tight one into

the 3rd quarter until the boys pulled

away and finished with a 11-5 win.  Hats

off to all the boys who played through

miserable conditions and tired legs.  We

now stand 5-1-1 on the season

High school highlights from the past

week:

ZERO penalties!  I can’t begin to tell you

how powerful this is!  As a coach this

means the world to us, besides not

giving the opponent an extra man

opportunity, it means we are playing

disciplined defense!

Our Zulu zone continues to thwart and

confuse the opposition.  They are

basically forced to shoot from outside

13-14 yards

The offense broke a team record of 20

goals.  

We have a home game Monday against

rival Cascade at 8 pm.  Bring friends,

family neighbors and anyone you can

think of and don’t forget the

“Allez…Allez, Allez!"
