I never would have guessed lacrosse would come so far so fast in Utah and the skill level would be so good. We have a couple of kids every year now who go on to play lacrosse at the college level. Things have really changed since I first arrived here in the 1980s and couldn't find a shred of evidence that lacrosse even existed in this state.

Prior to the Utah High School Lacrosse League being created, there was no official state champion crowned. Back in the old days when Waterford and Judge would play, the winner of our match was the unofficial state champion, I guess.

We're proud to have that caliber of player using the same field. Hopefully, it rubs off on some of our players.

This was going to be 80 minutes of good soccer, what turned out to be a 100 (minutes). . . . We're preparing for the playoffs, and this is good for us.

Those are probably the key returning players.

Mason approached Craig and I, because Waterford was a useful starting point to get a league created since we had arguably the most established lacrosse program in the state at that time. Craig and I wanted to help out, so we started helping with clinics and things like that to get the game some exposure.

We spent the first half chasing them. (The Ravens) need to believe they could get back into it.

I wanna give some credit to the Rasmussen brothers.
