Vienna - Oct. 25 - A hodgepodge team of hockey / lacrosse players from University High, Morgantown High, and Bridgeport calling themselves "2 for Slashing" almost won Ohio Valley University's inaugural Fall Classic on Saturday, against  George Washington High's varsity. The Patriots came out on top 5-4. The tournament, sponsored by D&D Trophies & Tees of Parkersburg, was a double elimination, 7 v 7 tournament featuring a shortened field & 20 minute running time halves on the campus of Ohio Valley University.
       George Washington dominated the tournament early with their 6'6" attackman, Gardiner Smith firing 90 MPH shots at the goal and winning the tournament's offensive MVP Trophy. Smith and his Patriots annihilated 2 for Slashing 17-3 in their first meeting, sending 2 for Slashing into the losers bracket.
       2 for Slashing beat Bridgeport 7-0 to win the losers bracket, then faced GW again, this time coming out on top 6-5. 2 for Slashing held the Patriots to a 4-4 tie in the championship game, but GW's senior middie Michael Dawson scored the winner with less than 2 minutes left.
       "I can't believe we lost to a bunch of  hockey players", huffed a Bridgeport player after experiencing the shutout by 2 for Slashing in Game 6. Ironically, Jim Mullen, the 2 for Slashing Coach is Bridgeport's regular season head lacrosse coach in the spring. He also coaches the Morgantown Blades Midget Hockey Team and decided to put together a fall team made up of lacrosse players who happened to play hockey. On 2 for Slashing were Justin Dicks, one of University High's starting attackmen, and Christopher "Meat" Litton, University's 2010 first team All State defenseman. Litton was a little sluggish, having donated a pint of blood the day before at his church's blood drive.
       Saint Albans also had a team in the tournament and George Washington fielded a JV team. 2 for Slashing's goalie, Kienan Battin, won the tournament's Defensive MVP award.
      Additional tournament sponsors were the local Burger King, who provided lunch for the players, and Harrow Sports.

Captains - 2010 Cardinal Classic Champions

Wheeling Jesuit University hosts 2nd Annual Cardinal Classic

Nov. 9 - Wheeling - Twelve high school lacrosse teams converged on Oglebay Park's Pine Room Fields this past Sunday for a 7 v 7 lacrosse tournament sponsored by Wheeling Jesuit University's Men's Lacrosse Team. The 2nd annual Cardinal Lacrosse Classis saw teams from West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania compete on a frosty morning with temperatures in the mid 20's.
       Approximately 150 student athletes and over 250 spectators watched the free competition hosted by the Wheeling Jesuit University Lacrosse coaches and players. The team hosts the fall tournament to provide an off-season venue for area high school teams.
       "We doubled our team attendance this year," said Jay Sothron, the head men's lacrosse coach at WJU. "We would really like more Wheeling teams to participate. Our original intention was to have the tournament to benefit the local lacrosse teams, but we have received a lot of interest from outside the area, including five teams from Ohio and two from Pennsylvania."
       Wheeling Park's team was the only local team to participate in the tournament. Park fielded 18 players, but did not make it to the championship game. Captain's Lacrosse, from Peters Township. PA, won the tournament by defeating St. Francis of Ohio 20-13 in the championship game.
       Wheeling Park's head coach, Joe Subiasic, said, "We appreciate WJU giving us the opportunity to play such good competition so close to home. This fall tournament allows the team to get together, get the stick on the ball and get ready for our spring season."
       Spring is the regular season for lacrosse with games beginning in the middle of March. Locally, Wheeling Park, Central Catholic and Linsly have boys teams. Park has the only girls team in the area. Plans are in the works for a boys team at Weir High School in Weirton and an Ohio County Middle School team. The middle school team will be an area team and serve as a feeder program for the local high schools. - Submitted by Chuck Scatterday

Huntington High students form boys lacrosse team

HUNTINGTON - Apr. 30 - Persistence pays. A group of students from Huntington High School never gave up hope in getting a boys high school team started in Huntington. Matt Schaffer and Devin McIlvan sent emails to the West Virginia Scholastic Association (WVSLA) and others in February requesting assistance in forming a team.
       They now have a lacrosse team with over 25 players called the Huntington Lacrosse Club. The team will begin playing other teams in the state in early May.
       Grant McGuire, an attorney who played lacrosse at Duke University, had the experience, but not the time to coach or manage a team. This spring McGuire recruited Ben Allen as the coach and David McIlvan, father of Devin, as the team manager. The team instantly took ff.
       "I felt guilty not to have started lacrosse here years ago," said McGuire. "So I couldn't turn this group of boys down. They wanted this team so badly that I just squeezed the organizing into my spare time." McGuire set up meetings with the YMCA, Huntington High, Veterans Memorial Field House and others to get the process started. "There are 11 boys teams and 8 girls teams in the state. All these teams, especially those around Charleston, really want to start playing us," said McGuire. The team set up the Facebook page "Huntington Lacrosse" to get the word out. View Full Story
