note: the picture was not from last night's game We had a nightmare scenario last night, at least as far as a lacrosse game ending is concerned. A District semifinal game ended with an incorrect call in overtime and one team's season ended because of that call.

But something is missing. The ease of finding data was buried the night this happened . . . Rest In Peace LP . . . And here's a prayer that MaxPreps can come close . . . The 2019 Florida High School Lacrosse season has already begun as I write this, so put on your pretend hats and figure this was put up Sunday instead. Last season was one for the books.
