The girls lacrosse season has come to and accomplished and successful close. Varsity and junior varsity teams have created an unbreakable bond with each other. The team has a tradition known as “Littles,” which is when a varsity member partners with a new member of the team and bond with them all season. Senior Sabrina Barreto says that she will “definitely miss [her] Littles the most, Camila & Dijana. Even though they’re new to lacrosse [she] can see why coach paired [her] up with them, as such young players they have so much potential and will greatly improve in their lacrosse career. They are the cutest people, fun to be around and just overall have great personalities.”
Though the bonding does not just end with ‘Littles’ overall both teams are both very close. The lacrosse team strives on such great teamwork to help make it through the season. With such strong connections made off of the field it makes it a lot easier on the field to communicate when passing the ball as well as executing the plays that Coach Jessica Prickett makes.
Most of the most memorable moments consist of high points during the games as well as silly little moments during practices. Coach Prickett describes a time where “the other team was not playing with the sportsmanship and integrity that we demand of our team. It felt good to look at [her] girls and know that they were not going to lower their standards in spite of that. [She] felt proud to coach this team because they have that class and integrity that makes people good people.”
Prickett has grown a very strong connection with this years’ seniors because they are the first group of girls that have been with her since freshman year therefore, they will always “have a special place with [her].”
The seniors describe nothing less of the strong bond Prickett describes. Senior Sarah Rosatone says that the best piece of advice that Prickett has given her is that “nobody is going to push you, you have to push yourself and find the fire inside yourself. Nobody can give you passion.”
