On January 2-3, 2016 two Akwesasne teenage girl lacrosse players
were invited to attend the Under Armour 150 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
It is an invitation only event for the top 150 freshman players
in the class of 2019. The best in the United States were placed
on teams to compete for two days.
Jacelyn Lazore, age 16, played for Team Raid. Mirabella Lazore,
age 15, played for team Fast lane. Four teams made it to the top
for finals. The two sisters each made it and had to face each other.
Team Fast lane was champions and team Raid was runner up. Out of
the 150 grade 9 players, only 12 were selected for the UA All star
squad. Both Lazore sisters were awarded the honor. Eighty college
coaches were in attendance and had the task of selecting the all-star
roster.
The Lazore sisters currently attend school in Massachusetts
at Northfield Mount Hermon School. They truly appreciate the well
wishes they have received from family and friends in Akwesasne.
