High school lacrosse tournament takes place at UVic
“We took the name from American high school football, 100 per cent,” he said.
The 12th annual Friday Night Lights Spartan Shootout high school lacrosse tournament begins in the Friday morning light at 8:45 a.m. at the University of Victoria turf fields and features the always-popular rivalry game under those Friday night floodlights at 7 p.m. between the Claremont Spartans and Mercer Island Islanders, the 2023 Washington state 3A champions. The feature girls’ game will be between Claremont and Royal Bay on Friday at 5:15 p.m. It all adds up to a big Friday night.
“The pro game and now the Olympics continue to give our sport more exposure and it continues to grow,” said Reisig. Reisig has been expert in both versions of it and was inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2023 for his box-lacrosse exploits as a Mann Cup-champion two-way player in the Western Lacrosse Association with the Victoria Shamrocks and in the professional National Lacrosse League and for Canada in international field-lacrosse.
