Lassiter Girls Fall in Lacrosse Finals

Despite leading for a good portion of the match, the Lassiter girls lacrosse team couldn't hold on against the dynasty that is Milton in Saturday's Georgia High School Association Class AAAAAA finals.

Milton came away with a 10-7 win for its third consecutive championship and eighth title since 2005, but the Lady Trojans felt like they had done all they could.

“They almost pulled it out,” Lassiter coach Faith Harmeyer told The Marietta Daily Journal, referring to her players. “I would have liked to have had this one for the seniors, but we’ll get it.”

The Lassiter girls were hoping to add to the East Cobb-area contingent of spring sports state champions. Thus far, the Walton girls tennis team and the boys and girls tennis teams at The Walker School have won state championships in team events.

On Monday, the Pope and Walton baseball teams will be playing at home in semifinal series.

Walton's games against Roswell in the Class 6A tournament take place at 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. Monday at Raider Valley. A third game, if necessary, would start at 5 p.m. Tuesday, also at Walton.

Pope plays host to Starr's Mill in the Class 5A semifinals on Monday, with games also starting at 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. The rubber match would be at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Pope.

Also on Monday, the GHSA state golf championships will be held. The Lassiter boys and Walton girls have qualified in their respective Class 6A fields, while the Kell girls have advanced in Class 5A.
