YMCA Academy competes
in 2006 Wishbone Classic
November 27, 2006
The YMCA Academy High School team competed in the 1st Annual Wishbone
Classic Tournament in Sanford, FL this Sunday. The Y played four
teams: West Orange High School, Winter Springs High School, Flager Palm Coast HS
and Olympia HS.
The YMCA Academy team played two very
close games. Fourth (4th) ranked Winter Springs battled the YMCA
Academy to wins 23-9 and 8-7; while the YMCA Academy dominated
21st ranked Flager Palm Coast High School, 17-9.
There were 16
teams competing in four divisions, with the YMCA Academy competing in
the Iroquois division.
While the team did not make it to the
playoff's, they played well for a team with less than one year of player
experience. The overall
tournament champion was Winter
Springs High School and third place went to West Orange High School,
both coming from the Iroquois division. A very difficult division
but well worth it.
Prior to the tournament, the girls
first learned lacrosse in the 2006 Spring season of the YMCA's Greater
Fort Lauderdale Youth Lacrosse League followed by the YMCA's inaugural
Fall Ball High School League. After successfully competing in the
Fall against
Douglas High School, Cypress Bay High School and Pine Crest; the girls tested their
skills against Central and North Florida's finest.
