Not so long ago, Baylor Vu was facing the biggest injury battle of his young career.
Now, he's a @PVSHARKSsports state champion, and the All-First Coast boys lacrosse player of the year, via @jaxdotcom: https://t.co/owXhNXlsdu
St. Andrew's (Fla.) was an offensive juggernaut all spring — and its offensive leader is the USA Lacrosse High School Boys’ South Region Player of the Year 😤
Nick Testa was a one-man wrecking crew this spring and will take his talents to @jhumenslacrosse in the fall.
Let’s hear it for Summit, the end-of-season No. 1️⃣ in the final USA Lacrosse Public High School Boys' National Top 25, presented by @CwenchHydration 🥍
@RyanFlanagan24 We all understand the schedules are very tight. We all also understand some guys prefer high school and some prefer club. But high school teams wanting to spend 3 days together, mid week when it’s not conflicting with club, seems like a win-win to me…
Congratulations, Coach Auld‼️
Coach Auld led the Celtics to 2 State Championships, 4 State Runner-Ups and an overall record of 181-47. He also coached countless All-State and All-American players during his time at Dublin Jerome.
A well-deserved honor for an incredible coach.
PUBLIC SCHOOL PRIDE 💪
