Spartans 7/8 Senior Green at the GELL MashUp

It was a good day for the Skyline Spartans 7/8 Senior Green team who played two games at this Saturday's GELL MashUp.  The MashUp was held at the Kirkland Lacrosse Center in Big Finn Hill Park and showcased a number of the region's top teams.

The Washington Lacrosse Officials Association was also present in force using the event as a major Spring tune-up for new and returning Youth referees.  There were a number of Skyline High School players in attendance either going through their first season orientation or helping mentor the new refs.

There is a selection of additional game photos on the Skyline Lacrosse Club's Facebook page - check them out!

What? Really??


OK, call me a tad old-fashioned. 

Caught this weekend at a pre-season CWU-SU matchup in Seattle:  the ref is using an iPhone coin toss app to start the game... i know it's preseason and all....

Spartan Alum Jeremy Veilleux & CWU Wildcats in town

This weekend saw Skyline Spartan Lax alum Jeremy Veilleux (#8) and his CWU Wildcats take on Seattle University in pre-season action.  There was some great play on both sides and Jeremy laid on one of the best wrap checks i have seen in a long time; think the clearing midfielders stick came down somewhere in Lake WA.

It's always great to see our alums in action on local turf!
