News and Announcements

The LSW Lacrosse Board would like to welcome Brian Cox as the new Lee’s Summit West Girls Lacrosse Head Coach. Brian is a familiar face to LSW Girls Lacrosse as he has been the goalie coach for the past 4 years. He has coached lacrosse at both the youth and high school levels for the past 7 years and has also been a LSW Lacrosse parent. His son, Isaac, played his junior and senior years and his daughter, Ruthie, played all 4 years in high school. Brian plans to continue the family culture to encourage the girls to learn more about lacrosse as a team player and provide them the opportunity to excel as an individual. He has many great ideas for the program and we look forward to seeing them unfold.

Congratulations Coach Brian!

OK Everyone,

Just in case you were wondering, parents are invited to this banquet, and I have not been given any limit on how many per player can attend…as parents, you should be there to celebrate your daughter. Hope to see everyone there.

Hello Lady Titan LAX Family,

This will be my final email that I write to all of you. I know you’ll hear me say this on Wednesday evening, but I want to thank each and every one of you for a wonderful final season. I am truly blessed to have been your coach for the past 10 seasons, which for me was an absolute honor and privilege.

The only thing we have on our lacrosse calendar for this week is our end of season banquet this Wednesday night at 6pm in the LSW PAC. No food will be served due to COVID restrictions, so we will be starting the awards ceremony at 6pm. We will be awarding Varsity letters, Academic awards, end of season awards, etc…

As you may have heard, LSW has lifted the mask mandate, so wearing one will not be required.

I look forward to seeing all of you Wednesday night!

Thank you all…it’s been a wonderful journey!

~Coach Jay

Hello Lady Titan LAX Family,

I wanted everyone to know that our End of Season banquet will be on Wednesday 19 MAY at 6pm at the LSW PAC (Performing Arts Center). Due to COVID restrictions, we will not be serving food this year (bummer), so we’ll be going straight to the PAC and starting the ceremony.

Please make sure you wear a mask.

Well everyone, this is it…the final week of the Spring 2021 season, and my final week as your head coach. So many emotions right now, but first and foremost, my attention is on the task at hand, which is to get our Varsity team into the Championship game, and win it all.

All games will be played at the Shawnee Mission home field (where we were last Friday night), but on the other side of the grandstands until Thursday night, then it’s back to the original field. The league will be playing 2 games at the same time to get through all the games (JV and Varsity) in a timely manner. All are welcome to attend and cheer on our team, so I encourage all of our JV players (and parents) to come out and cheer on our Varsity team! Make sure to wear a mask.

Here’s the schedule for this week. Please note that to move on to the next day, we need to win.

Monday 10 MAY at 6pm – #1 vs #8. LSW will play Park Lacrosse on Field #1.

Wednesday 12 MAY at 8pm – Winner of 1v8 vs Winner of 4v5. Should we advance to this game, we will play the winner of the St. Teresa’s Academy vs Shawnee Mission game.

Thursday 13 MAY at 7pm – Announcement and Celebration of All-Metro Players and KC Metro Coach of the Year
Thursday 13 MAY at 8pm – Varsity Championship Game. Should we advance to this game, we will play the winner of the other semi-final game. Should we make it to this game, it looks like we may play Blue Valley, but anything can happen…which is why they play the games.

This is it…this is the week we have worked so hard for. All of the summer games, fall ball, fall and winter indoor sessions, spring practices 4 times a week…all of that is for this week. Let’s finish strong…and to all of those in the stands, cheer hard! Don’t yell at the refs…that’s my job. Don’t coach your daughters from the stands, we have a cadre of extraordinary coaches to do that for you…Just Cheer Hard! Let’s bring home the big trophy!

See you (and hopefully hear you) tonight!
~Coach Jay
