[The Decatur High School Varsity boys lacrosse team is] playing in the first round of the state playoffs this Wednesday May 9 at 7:30 at the DHS stadium. We will be playing Starrs Mill High School. Booster club passes are not valid for playoffs. Admission is $7/person.

The DHS lacrosse team is 11 – 5 for regular season play. We are the #1 seed for Area 4 in GHSA Class A-AAAA. If you are interested in the brackets go to www.ghsa.net and click on athletics and then select lacrosse. This is the first time the DHS boys lacrosse team has won the Area which was sealed when they beat St. Pius for the first time 3-2. Crowd support is going to be a key factor in our boys playing their best so please come out and cheer on our lax dawgs!

On Sunday, March 6 at 3:00 pm Decatur Stadium will host a men’s NCAA Division 3 college lacrosse game featuring Roanoke College, ranked #5 nationally, and Birmingham-Southern College. Tickets are $5 in advance (see the Decatur Laxdog in your neighborhood) or $7 at the gate. Proceeds benefit the boy’s lacrosse program at Decatur High. Roanoke is a highly respected program and plays an up-tempo, exciting and fun-to-watch brand of lacrosse. BSC features a large number of Atlantans on their roster, including DHS class of 2008 graduate Chris Clarke.
