Lacrosse 

• The varsity boys (2-1) took out archrival Albemarle 16-8. Half of the Warriors offensive output came from Cole Baglio, who scored 8 goals.

• The girls (4-0) also rocked the Patriots of Albemarle 18-5 to continue their strong start to the season. Maggie Craytor led all scorers with 4 goals on the evening.
