preseason is here

On Monday 2/24/13 there was a great preseason run for any Homer high school student athlete  who wants to play lacrosse or get in shape. This run was not mandatory but was very much so encouraged but the 3 team captains, Alec Sovocool, Beau Riley and Jon Cottrell. After talking to them they said that the point of the run wasn't to get the team in shape but it was a good way for some preseason team bonding. This was only one of the many team bonding activities that will be happening this season, for instance there will be a “football/ turf clean up” on  Friday 3/1/13. This is following the same leadership that was left by senior last year Anthony Contento who believed strongly in team bonding and team activities in hope to unify the team.
