SHSU Lacrosse

June 3rd, 2009

Keeping a program running and in competition for conference championships requires fresh recruits every year. This coming Fall, Coach Fritts has received commitments from all over the state along with an out of state player or two! The team count has risen from 17 last Spring to 26 for this Fall! “I’m beside myself to see numbers like these in the first year of recruiting” said Fritts. He also added “All the scouting at high school tournaments and regular season games is really paying off. I never imagined it would be this intense and competitive. We still have a few boys out there who are on the fence about coming to Sam. Hopefully we’ll know with in the next month or two.”

August 1, 2009 is the cut-off date for the Fall semester. At that time coach will announce the final 2009 recruiting class here and on laxpower.com and collegelax.us.
