The excitement of lacrosse playoffs continues to electrify our community as South Lakes High School gears up to host Herndon High School in the first round of regionals. Mark your calendars for tomorrow, May 16th, at 6:30 PM at South Lakes High School for a game that promises to be as thrilling as it is meaningful for our HRYL families and supporters.
A Battle of Former Teammates
This matchup isn’t just another game—it’s a reunion of sorts. Many of the players from both South Lakes and Herndon teams honed their skills together through the Herndon Reston Youth Lacrosse (HRYL) program. This game sees former teammates facing off, transforming familiar friendships into fierce competition, embodying the spirit of sportsmanship and rivalry that lacrosse is known for.
South Lakes: A Season of Triumphs
Fresh off their first Concord District Championship win, the South Lakes team enters this game with a record to be proud of. They boast five seniors, four 1st Team All-District players, and two 1st Team All-Region players. With 18 players coming from the HRYL program, this team’s journey is a testament to the dedication and training they received from our community.
Herndon: Rising Stars
Herndon High School, finishing fourth in the Liberty District, brings formidable talent to the field. Their determination and skill make them tough opponents, and with many players also emerging from the HRYL ranks, their familiarity with South Lakes players adds an intriguing layer to the game.
A Local Rivalry Renewed
This isn’t just a playoff game; it’s a renewed local rivalry. The stakes are high, not only for advancing in the regionals but also for community bragging rights. Both teams will play their hearts out, driven by the support of families, friends, and fans who watched them grow from youth league novices to high school stars.

We call on all HRYL families and community members to come out and support both teams. Wear your colors, bring your cheers, and make this an unforgettable evening of lacrosse.
