Boy’s Lacrosse team looks to defend Division II Championship title Monday against South Kingstown.
The EG Boys Lacrosse team came out with guns (and sticks) blazing Wednesday against the Providence Country Day Knights. Captain Kyle Carosotto, who scored the first goal just over a minute into the first quarter, said after the game, “We came out with a fire in our hearts and an uncommonly strong start.” EG’s offense continued at an aggressive pace with another four unanswered goals in the first quarter.

Although the East Greenwich lacrosse program has doubled in size over the past three years, there are still many people that are unfamiliar with the sport. Lacrosse is the oldest sport in North America. It is the fastest growing youth sport in the country and is considered to be “the fastest game on two feet. The East Greenwich Lacrosse Association (EGLA) offers something for everyone, both boys and girls from kindergarten through the 8th grade. There are recreational and competitive programs (similar to EGSA and EGBA). Since the state moved the boys program from strictly recreational to one with a competitive league as well, EG has performed extraordinarily well. The fifth and sixth grade teams have won the state championship every year …

Kim, Sadly, EG Patch has no budget for sports this year, so we're relying on the parents or students to fill the gap. I will try to cover some playoff games, but if there's anyone out there who can even just snap a photo or two and send me a few lines of info about a particular game, I'd love it! Any other suggestions on how to cover sports better are appreciated.... elizabeth.mcnamara@patch.com more ›
