By: Dallas Moyes It’s always exciting when new activities or sports are added to Bear River High School. This school year, one of the biggest additions is the newly sanctioned sport of lacrosse. Lacrosse has always been played in the valley, but it was never considered a high school sport until now. Many girls and boys play this springtime sport but they all play on club teams, or at least they used to.
There are many benefits to having lacrosse become a high school sport. Students can have absences for games become school excused, they can receive school transportation, and generally receive school support and recognition. Within the past few years, there has been a significant push to make lacrosse a sanctioned sport and supported by the school. All of the hard work that came from parents and players has paid off and now lacrosse is sanctioned. Easton Eggli, a well respected player on the high school lacrosse team, has seen the process of the Bear River Lacrosse team from its small beginnings.. He was overjoyed when lacrosse became a high school sanctioned sport. When asked what the biggest benefit of becoming sanctioned he said, “Being able to have busses take us to our games.” With the lacrosse team being sanctioned, it will bring a sense of belonging to the players that they have sought after for years. Eggli confidently explained that this year the team will be very strong and they are ready to represent Bear River High School. With six seniors in the squad, the first year of high school lacrosse is sure to be a good one. Tryouts are February 24 and all are welcome to come. It’s a new sport that is drawing a lot of boys and girls in because of the friendships and bonds it offers. The coaches and players are trying to build the organization so come out and give lacrosse a try. A new sport is in town and it looks like it’s going to make a big impact.
