Jan 14 - LAX Equipment for U.S. Troops
Coach Hurst has been in contact with one of his previous Neuqua Valley lacrosse players, 2LT A. Carter, who is now serving in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. While he can’t specifically say where he is or what he is doing, he does tell us that he is standing up a base in "the middle of no where", busy working on multiple jobs at a time, and operating with Special Forces, which is exciting for him.
2LT Carter is thrilled for Coach Hurst to be coaching for us this year and wishes all our teams the best. Some of the members of 2LT Carter’s squad are also interested in lacrosse, but don’t have any equipment with them. As a way to help, we’ll be collecting old sticks, lacrosse balls, gloves, etc. the next two weeks to send to Afghanistan. Just drop off items at the Denklau's at 2127 Riverlea Circle, Naperville (in Naper Carriage Hill subdivision).
Remember that our own Jack Hennessy Award, given to a senior lacrosse player each year for outstanding leadership and sportsmanship, is named after U. S. Army Sergeant and former NCHS boys lacrosse player who was killed in Baghdad, Iraq in October, 2004.
Let’s collect some unused equipment to support our troops and expand the sport of lacrosse over seas. Thank you.
