Spring Break '08 Florida Style!
I am a firm believer in Murphy’s Law, anything that can go wrong will. I was more than a little wary heading off to Florida; as I’m sure most of the coaching staff, the Rec Sports office, and well every parent whose child was on the trip was. ....more

A Wide Open Race in the WCLL Central
By Marc Lea
The teams of the WCLL’s Central Division have produced lofty achievements on the highest stage virtual varsity lacrosse has to offer. From Cal’s 1998 national title march to Stanford’s Cinderella run to the 2001 MCLA title game to Cal Poly’s four national tournament appearances in a five-year span, the current WCLL Central teams have enjoyed some remarkable accomplishments. In what has to be considered a down year, none of the Central teams earned a trip to Dallas last season, a shortfall that has occurred just three times in the eleven year history of the national tournament.
Can one of the big three surge back to the top and put together a strong post-season run? Or can a steadily improving Santa Clara squad finally break out of the shadows and claim their first Central Division title? Without an obvious front runner, predicting the final standings is a difficult proposition. Expect a wide open race, as all five teams battle to secure the Central division’s two guaranteed playoff spots. (more…)
