Boys’ Lax Advances to Tournament Finals!
The Boys Lacrosse team pulled out a big victory 2-1 in the semi-finals of the conference tournament over St. Raphaels. They will play in the championship game against St. Mary Magdelene for the Burbidge Cup on Saturday, 11:00am at St. Michaels. GO LIONS!
OLL Cross Country Team
OLL Athletics would like to gauge the interest level from both parents and students on a cross country team for next fall. We are looking for parent volunteer coaches to organize meets, practices and eventually find a route for us to run home events. We have a great greenway location to run next to Lourdes, but parent/coach supervision of the runners is very important. Many area middle schools have cross country teams already. This team will be open to middle school participants. Please email Jim Crawford at jcrawford@nc.rr.com, if you are interested in coaching, helping coach or your child has an interest in participating. Thanks.
