The Falcons fell to Parkway South, 7-10, in the first round of the MSLA playoffs.

The Falcons Varsity ended the season with a 12-4 record and advanced to the playoffs in the team’s second year of varsity play. With the exception of one player, no one had more than two years of lacrosse experience entering the season.

The effort, execution, and sportsmanship displayed by the 2006 team has certainly brought attention to the program from other teams in the league and will be instrumental in the growth of lacrosse in Springfield. The following was posted on the message board at lacrosseforums.com by a Parkway South player after last night’s game:

“in the south vs springfield game, it was the cleanest game i have ever been in. springfields players knew how to play the game without being cheap and simply played the game. if its really their 2nd year playing im amazed. very respectable team. i had players after the game when i was going to my car congratulating me and wishing me luck in the rest of the playoffs. that takes some class and obviously they had it. props to u guys springfield.”

Well done, gentlemen.

In the other first round game played last night, CBC defeated Blue Valley West, 12-11.

The end of the season picnic is scheduled for Tuesday, June 6, from 6:00-9:00pm at the Cooper Estates Clubhouse. Details to follow.
