A-Roll “In lacrosse, people aren't afraid to hit hard. It's not like football where you get to rest after every play. You have to keep going without breaks or subs. You always have to be ready to catch a ball to take a hard hit.”      Attack Mitch Beattie says this is the reason lacrosse is different than all other sports. Lacrosse at Eastview has always been successful, but this year they have high goals set for themselves. Sophomore captain Ryan McNamara explains the goals. “We'd really like to make it to state. We did it a few years ago and we'd like to do it again. It’ll take a lot of hard work and commitment, but we’re up for the challenge.”      This year is a little different than previous years for the Eastview lacrosse team. They only have two players that started last year returning this year to varsity. They also have one sophomore captain, and three captains that are juniors. With all the young athletes playing on  varsity this year, they have been working hard to be ready this Spring and stay in shape in the off season. Defenseman Ben Wunderlich talks about the off season training. “We have lifting programs and we also have a team in the summer called the Grizzlies where we go to places like Virginia and play in tournaments there.” Come out and support the young talent on the lacrosse team this Spring.
