Featured Posts, Florida Lacrosse News, High School, Lee's Corner

Coaches, Parents, Players and Administrators . . . lend me your ears . . .Charlton Heston, Marlon Brando, Raymond Burr and Richard Burton all uttered those last 4 words . . . I'm sure about 99.9% of the students don't know what I am referring to . . . another generation gap I guessTo make it brief, those are the words of Mark Antony as he gives the funeral speech for Caesar and all four of those famous actors played Antony in a movie.

Featured Posts, Florida Lacrosse News, High School, Lee's Corner

By now most schools have already laid out there 2021 schedules or nearly all of them and uncertainty about playing the entire schedule is still there, although I would postulate that if ANY state is likely to try to play a full schedule it's ours.For those who have not and want to try this, please go ahead and think if it is possible to adapt this for 2021 by changing game dates.One thing that made me think about a different approach was last year's District in the northern part of the state that stretched for about 330 miles and that is true again this upcoming year: Class 2A - Region R1 - District D1School CityBuchholz (Gainesville) GainesvilleChiles (Tallahassee) TallahasseeForest (Ocala) OcalaGainesville Gainesville ...
