DJ's and the Bridgton Academy Wolverines started on the 2nd half of the schedule right after Christmas Break.

They did some traveling which included Lake Placid for a tournament where they did very well, a tie breaker mini-game kept them from the playoffs.

Here he is in Lake Placid after scoring a goal, He finished the season as one of the top scorers for the team.

The holiday tournament at Tilton in NH..

Unfortunately on Feb 14th he took a weird hit while in a game in NJ and broke his ankle. He was unable to finish the season but due to some snow storms in Maine the season ended 1 game after his season. He was unable to play lacrosse and hopped around the snow banks at the
Academy with a walking cast till spring.

Nikki and the Southfield team struggled but were still able to get enough wins to make the tournament placing 5th in the New England Prep Schools.

She would score the only goal in the quarter-final game and the semi-finals were held at Southfield. After being in a scoring drought she picked a good time to come back and put in the go ahead goal against Rivers and they would win that game and advance to the Championship game which they lost but overall the team had a great year.

The same day DJ broke his ankle in NJ, Mom broke her hip going to her weekly appointment at the hairdressers after a fall.

Mom passed away on April 3rd just about 6 weeks after she fell. Here are some of her familiar faces over the years.
