A Big Win That Also Hurts/Varsity Boys Lacrosse Defeats Hackley But Leading Scorer Is Lost For Season

The play of the Portledge Varsity Boys Lacrosse team during the first half of their 12-10 victory over Hackley was some of the finest lacrosse ever played by a Portledge team. The offense had an incredible flow, as goals seemed to come from everywhere, and the Panthers built a 9-2 lead. Just before the half, however, some real bad luck hit the Portledge squad when Junior attackman, and leading scorer, Tim Morrison, was lost for the rest of the season with a broken collerbone. It's tough on the team, but it's for Tim that I really feel bad. He was having an All American type season with over 40 goals scored in the first 8 games, and the leadership he was providing was something really special to the school. All we can say is.... that's the game Tim, and I know that the team will do everything they can to keep things going in your absence. So feel better and come back soon!!! The Panthers will face Glen Cove on Friday @ 4:30 in the semi finals of the Portledge Tournament. The other semi will pit Rye Country Day v. LuHi and will also be played at 4:30 on Friday. Saturday will see a 12:00 consolation game, and a 2:00pm final.
