High School Boys Lacrosse

[gvillegmck]

I know there are some other people on here who care about lacrosse. Whos thinks their team has got anything special.

[Ol' Bald Coach]

Wade Hampton Generals here.....I think we play ya'll tomorrow at Sirrine. Not sure if he's playing tomorrow because of the flu but the Generals have a 6' 9" defensive player.

LOL Lucas... Yeah, he is 6' 9", but i don't think he is in your face enough to be a great player... Watch out for alex cobb playing attack for the generals though, he is good.

[CockNBlythewood]

We got Lexington wednesday. Should be interesting.

[cockinorlando]

Played last year in FL, I'm up here at school now, but was stupid enough to choose being a basketball manager over playing lax. My high school this year sucks, and I really don't know too much about SC lax, but I LOVE the sport

[Gamecock Rob]

Riverside...my bro is a middie on the team.

[gvillegmck]

yeah i remember seeing the 6'9 guy at one of the scrimages at sirrine, i remember he shut down our all american last year however our other attack brian turner put in eight or nine balls in the back of the cage.

[gvillegmck]

blythwood, we played lexington earlier in a scrimage, isn't that the team tath the old white knoll coach took over after being pushed out?

Not sure. Could be. I don't know too much about them.

[gvillegmck]

I think they are, who do yall like to win state this year

[FeartheSpur]

did not know there was high school lacrosse...must be at the 4 A level

[gvillegmck]

did not know there was high school lacrosse...must be at the 4 A level

actually not, all the teams compete together, there arent enought teams.

[FeartheSpur]

oh..how long has this been going on

[gvillegmck]

I believe that this year is the first year that it is actually a varsity sport, but for the past five or six years it has been played as a club sport throughout the state.

[CockNBlythewood]

Couple hours till gametime. We had a close loss to Lakeside from Augusta. Hope we can bounce back.

[ktguen]

a c flora! no one is really giving them any credit this season, but the guys from my school have a strong team this year. they beat greenville, jl mann, and hillcrest in the preseason, and someone else (10-3 i think the score was) this past saturday....but it slipped my mind who it was. but they have hilllcrest again tomorrow.

[CockNBlythewood]

Blythewood beats Lexington 17-0. I'd say it was pretty close.

[gvillegmck]

Greenville pulls in a 13-1 victory over Wade Hampton with the lone goal being scored on a man down play with the second string in. We have a real tough game against Christ School from Arden.

How is the Lax scene down there? Curious because I live between Hopkins, Loyola, Towson, UMBC, and UMD all have good teams. This time of year, LAX gets televised about as often as any other sport. But I remember when I was at USC for school, it was a club sport, and I had friends who played on Clemson's team.

My high school team always competed for the state championship. Our lax team was better than football, which was good too. But am curious as to the popularity of lacrosse in the south.

It is the "unofficial" state sport. The official is jousting for any of you who want to be a hit at your next party.

[gvillegmck]

The state of lacrosse in south carolina is of course no were near that of Maryland. The sport is growing though. Greenville High has won the state championship the past two years and has played in the championship game every year they have played.

My roommate is from Baltimore and plays on the team. He played for McDonough, and they won the national championship like 4 years ago

[ktguen]

ac flora beat hillcrest 13-9 yesterday, so they are 2-0 on the season so far. they play at maulden tomorrow.

[gvillegmck]

greenville lost to a very good christ school team that was loaded with seniors, good luck to anyone else who has to play them.

[CockNBlythewood]

Blythewood beat up on Camden Military Academy 15-2 tonight. We are now 3-1. Go bengals!

[ktguen]

ac flora beat maulden...i forgot the score. 14-9 or something along those lines. they rained out the game tonight agianst white knoll. it's going to be tomorrow instead. they are 3-0 now.

[CockNBlythewood]

Blythewood wins again beating Hammond 22-3. White Knoll is next.

[riceatusc]

[ktguen]

flora lost to white knoll 13-11 on wednesday night, and won today against socastee 10-3. they are 4-1 now.

[gvillegmck]

greenville beat hillcrest last night 12-3 with William Walker leading the raiders with five goals.

[ktguen]

havent updated in a while but ac flora is 7-1

[gvillegmck]

Greenville is going to Atlanta to play in the Parker Jackson Invitational this weekend. Some of the best teams in the south east will be included and we unluckily drew Charlotte Boys Latin and Milton, the host team.

[Gamecock Rob]

riverside beat greenville yesterday. rhs is now ranked number 2 in the state i hear.

Yea they are. My bro is on the team and im really excited for him and his boys.

Riverside is number three

[CitadelGamecock]

Blythewood beat up on Camden Military Academy 15-2 tonight. We are now 3-1. Go bengals!


I played for Heathwood in high school, and we usually beat up on Camden Military pretty bad. Are they any better than they used to be?

[Gamecock Rob]

What are the seedings, my bro told me that RHS got the 3 seed. Im assuming Heathwood got the 1, im just curious about 2, and 4-8?

Lax is the official team state sport up in MD...jousting is still the official state sport because some state senator had a great grandfather who wone some jousting tournament and he refused to give it up. So like politicians.

It's been around since '98 or '99 at the high school level with a program down in Hilton Head and one at Heathwood (private school in Cola). (The first program in SC was here at USC, which started up in '73) From there it spread a little bit, experienced some explosive growth in the upstate (6 teams in a year). It's been recognized as varsity or club at various schools depending on their athletic department. The real holy grail is being taken in and recognized by the SCHL. They'll be discussing it this year informally so probably nothing will happen. The idiots are actually talking about making it a winter sport, whereas if they just took their heads out of their collective azzes and made soccer a fall sport (where it is practically everywhere else including college) there wouldn't be a problem. Girls lacrosse at the high school level has grown along with men's for the most part as well, although I don't know as much about them.

So when and where are the playoffs? When and where is the championship?

No.

they did the seedings really weird. instead of going by the actual state rankings, the based in on the divisions too. i think these are the correct seedings...

i think ac flora should have gotten a higher seed, but if that's the way they wanted to make it, then that's ok. we play blythewood again.

[gvillegmck]

Greenville won tonight against Camden Military Academy 15-3 i think. We play Hillcrest on friday at hillcrest. They came to our game tonight and tried to tape our game tonight (against rules of course) but the refs made him pack up the camera. After a soft schedule Hillcrest thinks they have our number even though they lost 12-3 earlier in the season...

yeah i dont really understand how hillcrest gor such a high seeding. flora beat them earlier this year as well....

[gvillegmck]

WEAK SCHEDULE. They played both greenville and riverside once while playing mauldin eastside and other schools twice. Their marque win was against riverside which gave them the region. Its the right seeding but it is because of a week schedule

[ktguen]

ahhh. i see.

anyway, flora beat blythewood to advance last night. anyone know who they play next?

edit: oh crap. just saw flora has to play heathwood. oh well. maybe flora can pull off the upset... we'll see

[gvillegmck]

Yeah i wouldnt mind a upset, we play the winner of that game, good luck, do they play tonightl.

[CaptainCrunch]

i saw in the spartanburg paper that spartan high hired their first lacrosse coach this week. I didn't even know they were picking the sport up. Should be exciting.

[ktguen]

yeah. tonight at 7 or 7:30 at heathwood. pray for them! haha.

[gvillegmck]

Yeah spartanburg is picking it up and i actually heard talk of dorman but i dont know the depth to that. Both of those schools are so big that they will be able to compete with the athleticism flowing through the hallways.

[gvillegmck]

Greenville High won the state championship after upsetting two number one seeds in Heathwood Hall and Wando. Heck of a game to those teams. State championship three years in a row, and we have nine of ten starters returning for next season.
