The Captains Review Spring Break Lax Style

With several big wins this week, our spring break could not have been much better. We were spoiled by some of our biggest supporters (our parents) who hosted us for dinner. We ate at the Farrar's house here in Lexington on Monday night before our Guilford game and the Spears' house on Friday night before a great win over non-region opponent, Colorado College. We also had one of the biggest and best tailgates after the Colorado College game. Seeing so many family and friends is really special, and the weather was amazing. The team also spent lots of time together off the field. On Wednesday afternoon, we all drove down to Wendy's house for a cookout. The team invented a new variation of ping-pong, brushed up on their crayon-coloring skills, and enjoyed the breath-taking views from the Orrison family's new deck. Thursday afternoon the team put on a lacrosse clinic for young, local girls. The weather was perfect, and we enjoyed sharing our enthusiasm for the sport with some beginner players.
All in all, it was a very successful spring break. We think that the strong practices and team-bonding time that we had this week will make us well-prepared for ODACs next week
