Little Activity on High School Level... Cross Town Rivals Goes Head to Head... Notre Dame Goes 8-0


As high school Spring breaks come to an end, players return to practice. "We're really just trying to get them back into shape," head coach of Homestead Lacrosse, John Belote said in preparation for upcoming games. Tonight, April 13th, the Spartans will face off against cross-town rival Snider. It is difficult to determine an outcome for this bought; years past have proved the teams to be relatively equal in strength. The Snider program had been in existence for some time before the birth of Homestead, but the Spartans are now looking to secure a spot as the best team in Fort Wayne and the surrounding areas. Snider's scores from earlier season games still remain to be seen.

After their tentative win against Snider, Homestead will have an extremely difficult battle against Heritage Christian, an established team in the state of Indiana. Hopefully, if the clinch a win against Snider, they will be able to carry that momentum into Heritage Christian on April 15th, at 8:00pm. The game is away.

Lastly, the Fighting Irish have produced yet another win in their quest to become National Champs. In what proved to be a close and physical game against Georgetown, Max Pfeifer (pictured right) the junior midfielder tallied up a game-winning goal in the final minutes for a 7 to 6 victory against the Hoyas.  "Frankly we could care less about the artistic value of these wins and what the experts and pundits have to say. As someone more profound than I once said, an ugly W is better than an aesthetically pleasing loss any day," said assistant coach Gerry Byrne.
