Lady Titan LAX Family,

First, what a great night for the Titans last night. Our JV team defeated the only team to beat them this season. Then our Varsity team beat the SM Varsity team 10-6…even while playing down a person for the last 9 minutes of the game. So, moving forward for the rest of this week, I wanted to give everyone updates on what’s going on…first, if you have seen the weather forecast, you should know that possible severe weather is being forecasted for the next couple of days, so I will ask for some flexibility as we try to get the remaining games in while battling bad weather and wet fields. Here’s what is going on:

Tuesday 1 MAY – Practice and Team Feeding. I know there are quite a few players out for practice tonight due to Cavalcade of Bands…if you aren’t in band, please be at practice.

Wednesday 2 MAY – Senior Night at home vs LSHS. JV game is at 5:30pm, then our Senior Night activities, then Varsity game afterwards.

Thursday 3 MAY – Last Regular Season game vs LS North HS. This is currently scheduled as a home game at LSW. Depending on weather and field conditions, the date, time and/or the venue can change. If any changes happen, I will be sure to communicate it out. As for right now, plan on a 5:30pm JV game, 7:00pm Varsity at LSW.

Friday 4 MAY – JV ONLY Game vs St. Teresa’s JV. This is a rescheduled game from last week when we had to play the Varsity game at STA in the rain. This will be for the JV team only at LSW’s stadium. Game time is at 6:00pm

Playoffs start this Sunday 6 MAY.

Based on last night’s JV win, we have all but secured one of the top 4 spots in the JV bracket, which means there is a 99.9% chance we will play a JV semi-final game on Sunday afternoon, so please make sure to plan accordingly.

As for the Varsity team, with last night’s victory vs SM, we have pretty much secured our position to stay in the top division for next season, and we will need to see which seed we will be assigned in the post-season. Depending on which seed we will be will determine if we play our quarterfinal game on Monday or Tuesday evening.

That’s it for now. We are almost done with the season! Let’s finish strong and not trip at the finish line!

~Coach Jay

My first attempt at this announcement did not trigger an email to all of you…so here it is again. If you received this email twice, I apologize. ~Coach Jay

Hello Lady Titan LAX Family,

First, I wanted to extend a big “Congratulations” to all those Lady Titan players who received an Academic Award last night. Well done!! You truly put the “Student” in Student-Athlete.

Second, I hope everyone enjoyed the night off last night and I hope we can use this time to heal as we have a number of players dinged up, hurt, battling nagging injuries, etc…as we head into the final 2 weeks of our 2018 season, I wanted to map out what we can expect…so here it goes:

WEEK of 30 APRIL

Monday 30 APRIL – Gameday vs Shawnee Mission at Shawnee Mission North HS (7401 Johnson Dr, Overland Park, KS 66202). Google Maps estimates this drive to be anywhere between 35-45 mins. I would plan on a 45 min drive. We have late starts for this game. JV is the first game at 6:30pm, then Shawnee Mission will be celebrating their Senior Night, then Varsity will be right after their ceremony. I would expect the Varsity game to start around 8:00pm, so just be ready for a long night. I have been informed that noisemakers (i.e. Cowbells) are banned at Kansas High School activities, so please leave them at home. Just plan on cheering louder!!

Tuesday 1 MAY – Practice + Team Feeding at Dean Rasdall’s House. I will text out the address on Tuesday.

Wednesday 2 MAY – Gameday & Senior Night vs Lee’s Summit HS at LSW. JV game at 5:30pm, then Senior Night activities, then Varsity game afterwards (around 7:00pm). We will need all parents of Seniors to be ready to walk the field with their daughter right after the JV game finishes. The weather forecasters are expecting a chance of severe weather for Wednesday, so we’ll have to keep an eye on weather. Please be flexible if we have a change in plans.

Thursday 3 MAY – FINAL REGULAR SEASON GAME vs Lee’s Summit North at LSW. I know this will be a very intense game considering our rivalry and the behavior of the LSN parents when we played them at LSN a couple of weeks ago. I just ask that we keep cool heads in the stands and act like we are supposed to. Remember that we have a culture at LSW that we strive to keep, so let’s cheer in the stands accordingly.

Friday 4 MAY – Possible make-up JV game against St. Teresa’s JV. Because our JV team is currently in 2nd place, we want to make sure we get all of our 10 games in so we can be sure that there are no questions about us earning a spot in the JV playoffs. I am currently working with STA now on confirming they can come out to LSW that night for a JV game. Once I nail down the details, I’ll share with the team.

END OF 2018 REGULAR SEASON

PLAYOFF WEEK – WEEK OF 6 MAY – We won’t know exact game times until we know what seeds we will be assigned at the end of the season. Just use these dates and times to carve out your evenings, and I will share what our actual game times are after we finish our last regular season games and I learn what seed we are assigned. For our Varsity Quarterfinal game, we will play on Monday OR Tuesday, but not both.

Sunday, May 6 at Blue Valley Northwest (13260 Switzer Rd, Overland Park, KS 66213)
JV game semi-final 1 — 4:00
JV game semi-final 2 — 5:00

Monday, May 7 at Rockhurst University (1100 Rockhurst Rd, Kansas City, MO 64110)
Varsity game quarterfinal 1 — 5:30
Varsity game quarterfinal 2 — 7:30

Varsity semifinal game 2 — 7:30

Thursday, May 10 at Rockhurst Univ

I know this is a lot of information and a great deal of lacrosse coming up, but we are almost done…I am very proud of how our team is fighting in every game. There are a lot of talented teams out there, and we are one of them, and in this format I have learned that we have just as good a chance to win the Championship as all the other teams. Time to finish strong.

Have a wonderful weekend, and rest those bodies. I’ll see everyone at Shawnee Mission North HS on Monday evening. Please be at the field by 5:45pm at the latest.
