The Rivalry on the River lacrosse event returns for its second installment this week as one of the country’s fastest-growing sports takes center stage.
“It’s just such great exposure for them. It’s exciting for the community for the young girls in the area watching girls they know on TV,” said Bartram Trail girls coach Meghan Jackowiak. “It’s just really exciting. Last year was so much fun and we’re really looking forward to doing it again.”Added Bears player Madison Stevens: “We think it’s a really big deal. We love where we get to play Ponte Vedra on TV.
This year, it’s expanding to include the Stingrays and Mustangs girls teams, as well as the Tallahassee Maclay boys. What doesn’t change is the spotlight on the game. While the storylines loop throughout the event, the headlining game of the tournament remains the finale on Saturday night. For the second year in a row, it’s Creekside and Ponte Vedra playing in the showcase game of the tournament. The Knights and Sharks are both 8-2. Ponte Vedra edged Creekside 9-8 last season in the game, but returned the favor, a 9-8 win, in the playoffs.
“To have two hours dedicated just to our boys and you know talking about each individual player, you know where they’re committed, it was huge,” he said.
