The Vashon Vultures lacrosse  team is sitting in second place behind Klahowya, sporting a 4-2 league record and having scored 88 goals to Klahowya’s 118, though Klahowya has played one more game than Vashon.

The team is led with senior strength from Ezra Ende and Chance and Winter Krimmert. Freshman Duncan McMillan is doing a fine job at goalie, saving more than 50 percent of the shots taken. After a long break to accommodate spring breaks, the Vultures played Port Angeles on Saturday and defeated them soundly, 16-1. In that game, McMillian saved nearly 88 percent of the shots on goal.

In its league, Vashon has the second-, third- and sixth-ranked goal scorers in Winter Krimmert, Ende and freshman Max Schira.

The seventh-eighth grade team is having a good year as well, with a large crop of eighth graders. They are currently five wins and one loss in their league, but with some solid challenges upcoming in the schedule.  They lost their very first game to a tough University Place team, but have won all their games since then including Puyallup, and Lake Tapps, both perpetually difficult opponents.

Lacrosse players enjoyed a scrimmage during some off time over break.  Middle shool and high school players and alumni dusted off their gear and had a scrimmage.

The Vashon Vultures played Tuesday after press time. Their next home game is  Thursday.
