This year's awards ceremony / pool party was held at Coach Mac's home this past Friday night.  After some Burgers/Brats/BBQ; swim time and lacrosse shoot outs - with gift cards to Carousel as the prizes - a break was taken to issue awards.

JV Certificates were issued to:  Hannah Cherundolo, Leah Nascimento, Baillie Whittington, Fallon Weisbrodt, Aaliyah Craig, Brenda Sandoval, Meaghan Chesley, Anna Petty, Elisabeth Sutton, Abigal Myers and Hazel McCulla.  As a goalie, Hazel also earned enough playtime to receive a Varsity Certificate/Letter.

Varsity Certificates/Letters were issued to:  Abbi Findley, Maddie Stum, Yvie Frazier, Payton O'Hara, Laura Elphee, Maddie Martin, Allison Cree, Carleigh Cordova, Brenna Chappelle, Lexi Boone, Mindy Hale and Seniors (picture displayed):  Olivia Brown, Laura Newbill, Lauren Canard, Lindsy Smarrelli, Alexis Flohr, Katie McCoy and Haeley Deeney.  Additionally, Jenna Helmick earned her Varsity Certificate/Letter for Lacrosse Manager.  Well done Jenna.

This year the DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR Award was split as both Katie McCoy and Haeley Deeney received the award.  They were the one/two punch of the FHS Defense.  Katie, once again, received 1st Team ALL DISTRICT and 2nd Team ALL REGION defensive honors.  Haeley - after a two year hiatus abroad - received 2nd Team ALL DISTRICT defensive honors. Congrats to both girls.

The COACH MAC AWARD went to Laura Elphee.  This is the award that is given to "that girl" that always give 100%- never stops - both at practice and in games.  If someone needs to be covered one on one - Laura is the one that's called on to perform the task.

The IMPACT PLAYER OF THE YEAR award to Brenna Chappelle.  While Brenna for some reason did not receive any ALL DISTRICT accolades, she lead the District in Percentage of Goals Blocked (55%) and Goals Blocked (171).  Congrats Brenna - you were fantastic this year.
 

As always, I named Captains for the next year.  Thus far, I have always had two Senior and one Junior Captain(s).  SENIOR CAPTAINS:  Maddie Martin and Laura Elphee;   JUNIOR CAPTAIN:  Carleigh Cardova who also received 2nd Team ALL DISTRICT Offensive honors.

I look forward to next season as we have a lot to prove and I believe we have the girls to do it...  Fingers crossed we have a lot of Freshmen that want to explore the world of Girl's Lacrosse.  Warning though, once you do, you won't go back...
