Park opened the 2022 boys lacrosse season with an impressive 11-1 win over visiting Forest Lake Wednesday.

“We decided before the game that each quarter we would run different sets,” said Park coach Matt Foote. “Once the score was out of reach, we started to work on ball control, rotations and passing. We did not want to run the score up.

“We were also able to get Bradley Johnson, an eighth grader, a run at attack. We also filtered in a few JV players that worked hard during their game.”

Park then defeated the Raptors 7-4 at East Ridge Friday.
