Each of the past two seasons, the Varsity and Lyons Township have hooked up for a remarkable game. Last year, the game was played on a wet and windy (sound familiar?) May day at East Side Sports Complex, and provided another memorable chapter to the story of the Varsity's historic 2007 season. Down 5-1 at halftime, the team climbed on the shoulders of C.J. Nemec and Conor Hamilton who, together, scored nine times to power StC to a 11-9 win. The 2006 contest was also a seesaw game of momentum and scoring runs, with both squads building several-goal leads and then holding on against the other's furious comeback. In the end, it was the Lions' two goals in the final 30 seconds
that sealed the home team's victory, 15-14. It was a game that, afterwards, even the refs said was one of the most exciting high school lacrosse games they'd ever witnessed.
Highlights of the wild, 15-14 Varsity loss to Lyons Township in 2006 at Lyons.
