Spring Fling at SSSA

The Spring Fling girls tournament at St. Stephens and St. Agnes high school in Alexandria has become one of the staples of my spring schedule.   Great fun covering 6 games with some of the top-ranked high school teams in the US.   Bonus this year was the visiting U19 national team from England.   Some coverage from Inside Lacrosse here and the complete game coverage here.  

High School LAX Weekend

My weekend of games started Friday evening in DC with the Georgetown Prep vs. Gonzaga game. This is always a good rivalry game between the two Jesuit boy’s high schools in the area.   Not much of a game this year with Gonzaga walking away with the win.   Overall, I was happy with my photos and this field has some clean backgrounds and not much to clutter-up the shots. 

Saturday started at the St Stephen’s & St Agnes Spring Fling in Alexandria.   This event brings some of the better girl’s high school teams from around the country to start the beginning of the high school season.   Four games with Good Counsel, New Tier (Chicago), Georgetown Visitation, Radnor (Philadelphia), Academy of the Holy Cross, Collegiate (Richmond), St. Stephan’s & St Agnes and John Carroll.

Spring Fling - #1 Good Counsel vs. # 8 St Stephans & St Agnes

This morning had a playoff feeling at SSSA with undefeated # 2 Good Counsel (MD) vs. #8 St. Stephens & St. Agnes (VA) at the 20th annual Spring Fling in Alexandria.  I have never seen this many people at a girls lacrosse game, the field had fans almost all around the sidelines. This was the first time Good Counsel has beaten traditional DC lacrosse power SSSA (11-7).  Check out more of my game photos here.
