Wallaceburg Lacrosse Trio Win Tourney

For three local Wallaceburg Minor Lacrosse players, the end of Box Season was not the end of Lacrosse season.

Following the growing trend of summer box players from Wallaceburg wanting to extend their season and play Fall Field Lacrosse, Aaron Underwood, Brock Redford and Kyle Dawson travelled down the 401 to Six Nations to try out for one of the top field teams in Ontario. All three were successful in making the Six Nations Grand River Ironmen.

Over the past weekend the Grand River Ironmen participated in their first Fall tournament, the Skull N Bones in Rochester, New York. The Ironmen would go 4-0 to capture the tournament win defeating Fairport, Webster-Schroeder, Northern LAX, and McQuiad. The team would post an impressive 39 goals for and 8 goals against including an 11-3 win over Northern LAX, another top Ontario team before having McQuaid forfeit the final game rather than playing the Ironmen.

Next weekend, the boys will travel to North Carolina to the Charlotte Fall Classic where another top finish will qualify the Ironmen for the Dick’s Sporting Goods Tournament of Champions in Florida over the Christmas Holidays.
