The Greenhill varsity boys lacrosse team lost its season opener against Clearlake 8-11 on Feb. 21. Last weekend, the team traveled to San Antonio for a double-header against Central Catholic and St. Anthony's. The team won the first game against Central Catholic, 9-8. Sophomores Brett Holloway and Sam Johnson, junior Jeff Klein, and seniors Adam Sparks and Ryan Berk all had goals. The team played with little intensity, but managed to come out on top of a sloppy game

Greenhill lost the last game against St. Anthony's, 10-15, but played a much better game. Freshmen Jeffrey Talmadge and David Zimmerman, sophomores Brett Holloway and Sam Johnson, juniors Jeff Klein and Justin Wiesenfeld, and senior Cesar Valadez were some of the players to score goals.

Although the game was a loss, the team played much better and moved the ball quicker. The game was paused when Neil Zimmerman blocked a hard, direct shot on goal with his temple. He returned to the game, and eventually scored.

St. Anthony's was led by Eric Covey, a pre-season All-American midfielder.

The varsity plays March 4 against Allen. The team has stepped up the tempo during practice in an effort to prepare for the four games in six days almost immediately after spring break.

The junior varsity is currently 0-1.
