Two quick sports-related items.
I am soooooooooooo excited about the possibility of the Lyman Hall and Sheehan boys basketball teams playing for a third time in the SCC tournament! I only have to wait about four more hours to find out if Sheehan beats North Haven and earns the right to play Lyman Hall Saturday. The wait is killing me. Rivalries are great.
Also, making lacrosse a varsity sport was discussed again at last night’s Board of Education meeting. I’ve noticed over the past several years that more and more children are becoming involved in the combined club team that the recreation department sponsors. It is not cheap to start a varsity sport, but the board should find some money to at least form a combined Sheehan-Lyman Hall varsity squad. The time has come to put lacrosse on equal footing with baseball, softball and track and field. Let me know what you think.

I AGREE! I am on the Wallingford Youth Lacrosse board and also a Coach for this league. As of this week, we have over 100 registered players signed up for the 2009 Spring season (last year we had 84). The combined High School self-funded program had to limit the number of participants due to the amount of purchased uniforms (50). It's a shame that some of the students had to be turned away. Ken Novi is doing a FANTASTIC job managing the two combined High Schools - Trojans & Titans.
The time is NOW for Sheehan and Lyman Hall to embrace Lacrosse as a full-blown, CIAC governed school sport.
Go Tritons!
