LAX champs

The Pin Oak Middle School girls’ lacrosse team is the Greater Houston Youth Lacrosse Association End of Season Tournament District Champs. They played four games in The Woodlands and won all four games. They beat their component in the last game in a nailbiter situation, winning 5-4 with an extra 20 seconds added to the clock due to a timekeeping snafu after the game was over. They will have a trophy to add to the Pin Oak collection soon.
