Championship Sunday

Viv and the Lady Spartans won the Colorado Girls Lacrosse Association (CGLA) championship two weeks ago! They played three games on championship Sunday and Viv was in the net for two of them - to include the championship game itself!! She was nervous but she loved every minute of it...I think we've got ourselves a goalie girl, folks!

GAME 1...

Hanson #99 in the net

SAVE!!

Game 1...over with a WIN!

Viv sees her teammates coming to get her!

GAME 2...I was still on a high from the first win that I didn't take any pictures of the second game...

GAME 3...

Hanson #99 warming up

I didn't get any other pictures of the actual game...I was too nervous!

As the game ended, Matt yelled "get the camera, get the camera!!"

The "get your goalie" celebrations had begun!

Once the boys found Viv, the dog pile celebrations continued

Lady Spartans 2018 CGLA Champions!

Congratulations to our goalie girl!!

We are so proud of you and can't wait to see you play again!

BMHS Lax Banquet 2018

For anyone who knows Henry, you know that he doesn't let just anyone into his world. He's selective to say the least. When Coach Liam first stepped into the role of head lacrosse coach at Machebeuf, Henry was probably a little skeptical. The team was somewhat "bad news bear-ish", and Henry was one of 6 freshman fighting for a spot on the (only) Varsity team.

But Coach worked his way into Henry's world and Henry worked his tail off.

By the end of the season, every time I talked to Coach he would say, "Henry. Man, I just love that kid!". He saw the work ethic in Henry but I think he also saw a small kid fighting to find his place on a bigger team. I think all 5'5" of Coach, saw himself in Hen and they just worked. When a coach, or a teacher, is able to connect with Henry, I know they've got something special. Coach Liam had that something, and it was definitely special.
