city. The recruiting job that
brought a number of . outstanding athletes to our city
to help in the rebirth of the
game of lacrosse in this area
has been hailed by quite a
number of local sports fans as
a tremendous help.
The young men who came
here and mixed with our local
boys on the team have performed a great service to our
town. We admire every one of
them and hope they will be
around our city for a long
time to come.
