Carroll County lacrosse players making plans for their next destination
A list of local boys and girls lacrosse standouts who have made a college commitment.
Summertime is here, and while families take vacations and recently graduated seniors return safely from their pilgrimage to Ocean City, high school sports never really knows a true recess.
There's always something going on that involves Carroll's athletes, even in this so-called offseason. Kids train to stay sharp and in athletic shape, They play on club and travel teams around the region. They find time between jobs and family trips to hone their sports skills to be ready when their college careers begin.
And that time is now for many lacrosse players in Carroll.
This list isn't complete, and if a coach or parent knows of a lax player that has committed to play at the next level, please let me know. My email is pstoetzer@carrollmediacenter.org.
Here are the boys and girls lacrosse players who have made a college commitment, as submitted to the Community Media Center by county coaches.
