Sprayberry Swarms But Varsity Lacrosse Claims Comeback Conquest, 18-14
With post season on the line for both teams, the Sprayberry Yellow Jackets breezed into Whitefield on Wednesday, March 30, and left stung 18 times by the victorious WolfPack.

The WolfPack regrouped, though, showing their character and competitive spirit, firing off seven straight goals to take a 10-6 lead at halftime. The WolfPack continued their attack in the third period to take a 15-8 lead into the final period. The Yellow Jackets caught the WolfPack watching the scoreboard late in the fourth period, mounting a final worrisome assault that was stymied by Whitefield’s aggressive, turnover-inducing defense and time-eating, ball control offense.
