The boys played their hearts out but unfortunately fell short losing 9-8. Landon O stood on his head in net keeping the Hawks in the game. Myles B and Quinn B both had hat tricks while Cam S scored two. The boys proudly finished second, in their inaugural season at HMS which is an incredible feat.

The boys Hawks lacrosse team traveled to Auburn on Friday to play in their first semi final game in school history. The team went down early on however dug deep and battled back knocking on Auburn’s door throughout the game. With only a couple of minutes remaining in the match the Hawks evened the score at 7. At the one minute mark the boys had gained possession once again and were attempting to take the lead. With only seconds remaining Cam S scooped a loose ball in-front of the crease and buried a shot sending the first ever HMS boys lacrosse team to the championship game. From the goal tending to the attack each and every player laid everything on the line and executed their positions perfectly. Only one more game is standing between us and completing our season goal, winning it all.
The hawks dominated at the plate with 18 hits - led by Kayla O with 4 hits (a triple, double + 2 singles). Lydia U had 4 singles + Addie M had 2 singles. Charlise L had a homer + Emelyn L a single. Tough defense from Avery B in left field with an outstanding catch. Ashtyn E turned a double + Kendall L dominated on the mound + hit 2 singles.
