Speed lacrosse season is now over but not before two final games against ESD. The first of which was played two Wednesday’s ago. I got there at about halftime; they were tied 5-5. Not more than ten minutes later, it started pouring down rain. Me without my umbrella headed for the car, while they continued to play. Speed says they lost 8-6.

They played the final game on Friday at ESD’s place, which is very nice. Holly’s Uncle Ed came to see his first lacrosse game. As per usual, HP got down early, but staged a furious comeback in the second half with one kid scoring 5 goals in about 3 minutes time. Wild. They held on for an 8-7 win.
