DAY 2: High Octane Action on the Tusker Turf

Day 2 of my tour of Somers Varsity Teams, I hit the Tusker Turf to watch the defending Section 1 Varsity Lacrosse Champs practice. And no doubt about-it, they were getting themselves ready for what is expected to be another BIG 2010 campaign. With the Somers Lacrosse's 2nd annual Red/Grey Tournament coming up this Saturday , March 20th starting at 9am, the Coaching staff made it clear that this was a new season with good teams coming after them in the following months. Once again the Somers Tuskers will have to prove they are the best against the best.

On the playing field was Somers senior lacrosse player Sean Ryan who talked about the excitement of starting up another season of lacrosse for Somers. Going deeper he explained how even with the depth and the talent on the team, there is still work to be done for them to reach their maximum potential and to stay there. He speaks the truth as this weekends tournament features some great teams in the CHSAA Champion Saint Anthony's, as well as the always top of the line New Jersey varsity team in Don Bosco.

For sure this is going to be an awesome experience to see some of the best players in the state, but just as equally exciting to chronicling some of the action with great lacrosse enthusiasts like Joe Lombardi.

In other news, with the events the staff is covering increasing in notoriety, there has been an increased need to find more students who want be part of the crew. These interest would range specifically to covering school sporting events and other extra curricular activities. As of today, 3 students showed interest in working with the tools and venues MSGVarsity has provided. A goal this week was to make progress on this issue of more staff , and today was a great step in that direction.

Be sure to check in tomorrow as I stop by the Somers Varsity Softball Team's Practice. There I look to visit with Coach Antonucci and find out how he plans to arrange his lineup for this year. Also find out what Coach thinks All-State Short Stop Tammy Wray will do for this up coming season. See all that and more tomorrow.
