The Salem High lacrosse season opens this week with both the girls and boys playing games. The girls are home tonight for a 6 pm start against North Cross and the boys will travel to Woodberry Forest School in Woodberry Forest, Virginia for their opener Friday evening.
The girls opened their season Tuesday with a game against arch-rival Patrick Henry in Roanoke. After a scoreless first quarter the host Patriots pulled out a 10-5 win.
“Both teams are talented with different strengths,” said first year Salem coach Mary Schwartz. “We fig-ured out our attack but it took until the fourth quarter to get it going. PH had a great second and third quar-ter, dominating time of possession.”
