More About Harlem Lacrosse Players (PHOTO)
Speaking
of great pics, here’s one about the Harlem lacrosse players with a note from a friend:
This
past weekend, 35 students from Frederick Douglass Academy in Harlem
spent the weekend in Concord, MA for the third annual exchange program.
The bus was met Friday night by host families who took in two players
each. Saturday's activities compromised a lacrosse skills clinic in the
morning, a visit of the Old Manse and Old North Bridge in the afternoon,
leaf raking after the tour, and a barbecue
at night. The next day, the Harlem and Concord lacrosse players were
joined by 200 other players from 12 towns throughout the state of MA to
participate in a lacrosse tournament. Highlight of the day was an
inspirational talk given by Frederick Douglas Opie.
All proceeds from the tournament benefited HLL. Overall, a great
weekend! I can state from first-hand experience that the host families
got more from the weekend than the players from Harlem.
