“From hot summer scrimmages to cold winter games, what made it all worth it?”

“The hot summer practices and scrimmages were really brutal this year because the hot temperatures wouldn’t give us a break but we all had the picture in our heads of how things ended last year in the back of our minds every day. No one wanted to feel that way and see each other cry like we did at the state final we lost last year against Rumson. We wanted it to be different and all the seniors wanted to be able to graduate high school with a state title and for the single sport athletes this was there only chance and even though I play lacrosse I only had a shot at a state title in field hockey.”
