Hamilton-Wenham Youth Lacrosse U11's and U-13 Win

the 1st Annual National Youth Lacrosse Tournament

Jan 3, 2004

The Hamilton-Wenham Youth Lacrosse U13¹s and U11¹s each won their respective divisions in the 1st Annual National Youth Lacrosse Tournament at Raymond Fields in Ipswich, Massachusetts.

The weekend started out with teams arriving from Rhode Island, New York, New Hampshire, and local teams from Southeastern and Northeastern Massachusetts.

Hamilton-Wenham Youth Lacrosse was the champion in both the U-11 and U-13 divisions. Jack Williamson, Colin Mackenzie, JC Vivian, and Taylor Pirie lead the scoring for the U11¹s but the win was a result of a total team effort on offense and defense. The U11 team has been undefeated since losing the first game of the 2001 season. The U13 scoring was lead by Wit Vivian and Blake Riley. Though not all teams came out on top, we believe each and every team and player that participated were truly ALL WINNERS in this weekend.

While sponsored by Yankee Lacrosse and Brine, all teams, players, coaches, parents, and fans that made the 1st Annual National Youth Lacrosse Tournament a success.

A total of 32 teams took the field this weekend. The weather was typical for a spring New England lacrosse game; overcast with a chance of rain. Though it did rain on Saturday, it did not put a damper on the fun and excitement of the games. The New England Select Lacrosse League teams from RI, NH, and MA join the festivities on Sunday
