Our first loss of the season. The Varsity girls lost a heartbreaker last night to the New Hanover Cougars, 7-6, in what could have been the worst conditions I have watched lacrosse played. With the temperature in the mid-40’s and a rain, driven by 30-mph gusts, that moved sideways from North to the South, the girls fought valiantly but came up a little short. Number 3 played well, but the team struggled to control the ball, and they could not overcome the Cougars’ strong first half. The boys were not really challenged in their 14-1 win, but that will not be the case this Saturday when they face off against Middlecreek, one of the top teams in the state. Tonight, it’s all-girls play as the Topsail Lady Pirates take the field against Pinecrest, an out-of-conference juggernaut. Meanwhile, the Topsail Youth Lacrosse Middle School Girls (Number 4) square off in a bonus match just down the street. That concludes today’s lacrosse report. Now back to your regularly scheduled scrolling.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, Lunch Box Quotes are notes I include in the kids\u2019 lunches every day. Number 1 gets a text, but 2-4 get handwritten napkins.<\/p>\n
