For the first time in 11 years the BK lacrosse team will be taking part in a summer program. Since there is no high school summer league in the treasure valley (something that I seriously hope will be remedied next year), and it’s difficult to entice kids to practice for no reason, we’ve decided to go to the Rocky Mountain Showcase in Salt Lake City.
One of the main reasons we want to do this is because of the huge turnover the team experienced at the end of the 2009 season. Of 19 varsity players, 14 were seniors. Only one of those five returners was a full time starter. Not all of the guys we anticipate to be on the varsity squad next year are going to be able to make this trip with us, but enough of them are going that we should see the beginnings of some team chemistry.
BK in Seattle, Spring 2009.
One of the best experiences I’ve had with the BK guys in a while was our trip to Seattle last spring. Traditionally we’ve played pretty well when we’ve been taken out of our element, and I think this will be a good opportunity to try and re-capture that for the new guys. Expect updates on our progress.
