Howard County Seniors Celebrated At Lacrosse Sendoff Event

HOWARD COUNTY, MD — Inspired by the popularity of July’s Baseball Sendoff for graduating high school seniors held at Blandair Park recently, Howard County Recreation & Parks held a Lacrosse Sendoff exhibition game at Troy Park to recognize local players. They enjoyed one last game with their teammates.

“Congratulations to our graduating lacrosse players, who were able to celebrate their hard work and accomplishments with one final game,” said Howard County Government Executive Calvin Ball in a statement. “COVID-19 has disrupted all facets of our lives and sports provide a welcome reminder of how much we can accomplish when we work together as a team and support one another. Special thank you to all our volunteer coaches and Howard County Recreation and Parks who went above and beyond players, coaches, and families’ much deserved recognition.”

The exhibition match, which pitted HC North against HC South, also included a welcome ceremony and individual player introduction by Howard County Recreation & Parks. Although the event is unaffiliated with the Howard County Public School System, lacrosse players and coaches from 10 Howard County public high schools participated.
