The start of the spring sports season in Florida gives way to lacrosse, one of the newer sports in the Keys. Both Key West and Coral Shores have boys and girls teams, all of which have seen action commence. In girls lacrosse, Key West started off its season with a W, beating Gulliver on the road on Feb. 16. The Lady Conchs outscored the Raiders 15-3. In Upper Keys action, the Lady ’Canes split a pair of games, traveling to Gulliver on Feb. 14 for a 7-4 win before falling to Westminster at home in a close 6-5 loss on Feb. 16.
Key West’s boys started their season off on the wrong side of the win column. They played Gulliver on Feb. 14th, taking on the Raiders at home for a 14-6 loss. On Feb. 16, they traveled to Palmetto, losing 16-5, and on Feb. 18, Barron Collier made the long trip to the Keys to take on the Conchs in The Backyard. Key West lost the game 13-1. The Conchs will have the opportunity to end their three-game slide and even up their record next week with three games scheduled.
Coral Shores played three games in a five-day span with mixed results. On Feb. 13, the ’Canes lost at home to Gulliver, 15-6. Two days later, they made the long trip to North Broward Prep, where a 19-11 barn-burner made the drive well worth it. Two nights later they took on Coral Reef at home for an 11-8 loss.
