“This event was played in honor of my former teammate Graham Harden who is battling ALS. I’m extremely proud of all the 212 kids. As always, a big thank you to the entire 212 Lacrosse community. The support the parents show myself and our staff is tremendous. I’d also like to thank Lauren Schmidt (Stanford/Team USA), Christian Pompoco (West Minster), John Webster (UNC) and Andy Towers (Brown) for an excellent weekend of coaching and the Sandstorm directors for organizing another fun event for the kids.”
