Crusader Laxers:
Thanks to all the EHS and West families who attended our final home game Friday night. Although we would have liked a different outcome, the game was great nonetheless, the raffle was fun and it was a beautiful evening of lacrosse on the EHS campus.
Our coaches know that these next few weeks (EHS graduation activities, finals etc) are hectic, we ask that you let coaches and/or team captains (Tom Farley, Max Sampson, John Darcy and Andrew Sotis) know if you will late or miss a practice, game. Thanks.
Practices resume as usual this week. JV and Varsity practice daily 4:30-6:30. Our youth squad (7/8th graders) will practice M,W, F, 4:30-6
Games:
HIGH SCHOOL
TUESDAY May 15 @ MIDDLETON. JV plays first, game begins at 5, players should be at Britenbach Stadium as close to 4PM as possible. VARSITY plays after the JV game, tentatively at 7PM under the lights)
SAT/SUN May 19-20 BULLRUSH TOURNAMENT in Verona. Varsity and JV players. Please advise the coaches if you can't make any or all of the tournament.
YOUTH
We will be working with the Verona Lacrosse Club to re-schedule our game from this past Saturday. Otherwise, our next regularly scheduled game is not until June 2. Because of Bullrush and Memorial Day weekend, the schedule just worked out that way. Fingers crossed we get the Verona game set; it might be a week day game and as soon as we know details we'll get the word out.

We have finalized the design for the new club shooter shirts (see below). Because we were able to negotiate a good price on the entire uniform purchase, we are able to subsidize the purchase for your high school players. In order to minimize your out-of-pocket expense, we are proposing that $15 of your $40 uniform deposit be used to pay for shooter shirts for your high school players. If you object to this proposal, just respond to this message to that effect.
We are also offering shirts to any interested parents, youth players, siblings or team supporters for $40. If you are interesting in placing an order, send a note to either Mr. Darcy
or our Treasurer, Mr. Pickett
with the number of shirts you would like and the sizes. A pdf of the shirt is avaialbale under the "documents" tab
