It's hard to believe Spring Term is already here! Today marks the beginning of the third term for this academic year and the beginning of ODAC Championship week! We are pumped and ready to bring the title home after a Spring Break full of lax, lax and more lax. We were able to squeeze in a few team meals and one very colorful Generals Cup competition in between. The Juniors of Utah were kind enough to host us for a Franks' team dinner on Tuesday night.
Wednesday was game day and we prepared for our last regular season conference game against Guilford with a hearty lunch from Woods Creek Grocery.
After an awesome team win over Guilford, the team had to get ready for perhaps the biggest competition of the week, the inaugural Generals Cup. The Cup was comprised of tough lacrosse-related events, a heated round of trivia and culminated in a very tight race for first place in the scavenger hunt through Lexington. Entering this year's Cup were three very evenly matched and spirited teams:

Entering this year's Cup were three very evenly matched and spirited teams:Ninjas
Summer Heights High
Dancing Queens
The Ninjas jumped out to an early lead in the ground ball and possession events. Summer Heights was close on their heels until the Dancing Queens put themselves on the board by winning the 6v6 competition. The Ninjas were barely holding on to first place going into the trivia round. The Dancing Queens easily handled trivia for a win by showing off their knowledge of coaching and training staff birthdays, middle names and birth places, and W&L history. We headed into the scavenger hunt with a nail-biting difference in points between the competitors. Each team ventured into Lexington donning their stellar team uniforms to hunt down various information and objects from around town.
At the end of the day the Ninjas pulled through and were able to pull off a stunning victory.
Things we learned: Josh is from Illinois, not Indiana. Baner's middle name is Alexander, not Arthur. JGot and Emily can still play lacrosse even dressed as Jonah and wearing a cape, respectively. And Coach O'Brien's favorite restaraunt is not Frank's.We hope to see many of you Wednesday when we beat Randolph Macon and advanced to the conference final!
