Penfield Lacrosse Timeline |
| |
|
1975 |
|
The Penfield Lacrosse program began as a club sport playing an
independent schedule. Thanks to a group of hardworking
parents, fund raising, the loan of equipment from Penfield
Recreation and the use of PHS Facilities the program kicked off.
Penfield had 26 players on the first JV Team. Their record
was 7-3. Former Hobart College Attackman Tom Mutch led the
program and went on to serve as the Varsity coach for 13 years. |

|
1976 |
Penfield joined the Monroe County Lacrosse
League. The parents supported the team for the next five years,
until the program became an official school sport.
During the early years the team managed to post wining records
or finish close to .500%. Without a Modified program until the
mid-Eighties, Penfield often struggled against the more
experienced County teams, but did record some upsets and had an
excellent non-league record.
There were many Monroe County All-League selections during this
time and the teams qualified for four (4) Section V Tournaments,
a credit to everyone involved. |
