· Girls lacrosse won BIG last night at their senior night vs Brookwood. This game determined FIRST PLACE IN OUR AREA which has NEVER BEEN ACCOMPLISHED IN ALL 15 years as a program. With SIX different goal scorers in the game, some excellent teamwork was displayed. Carly Rutherford and Ryan Rucker got two goals each, with Sophia Berryman controlling the pace with four goals. Sydney Rucker, Darby, and Mak Crowder helped defensively with a total of 7 ground balls between them. Please congratulate the girl's lacrosse team when you see them today as this is a major moment in Parkview Lacrosse history.
