At the time of publication, today, April 25th, the #1 doubles team (Jake & Max Pettingell) won their quarterfinals match v. West Shore High School. The #2 doubles team (Tomas Martins & Ricardo Perazzolo) earned a win. Next our Falcons will play the winner of Trinity Prep & Berkeley Prep.

The #1 doubles team (Maria Petrova & Mia Ferdinand) are on their way to states as well where they will compete in the state tournament.

Boys Lacrosse:

Unfortunately the boys lacrosse season came to an end last Wednesday night after they lost to Cardinal Mooney Catholic High School in the regional quarterfinals. The team had a great season ending with a record of 11-4 and will have many key players returning next season.

Girls Lacrosse:

The girls lacrosse team will play in the regional semifinals on Tuesday at the Out-Of-Door Academy at 7:00pm. If they beat the Thunder, they will be moving on to the regional finals game and have the opportunity to advance to the state tournament. 

Good luck to all of our Falcons these next couple of weeks. Let’s bring home those trophies!
