Medina High School Lacrosse

Hey Guys! The Season Highlight film got put on hold for a few days due to some events which took place beyond my control in the week leading up to the banquet. Never fear though! We will be shortly posting segments of the film right here for your enjoyment. Due to the size of most video files I will have to post it in segments as opposed to posting it in it's entirety. 

Any questions or concerns please give me a call. If any of you are interested I have copies of complete game films for Jackson, Wooster, St. Ignatius and Kent for anyone who needs them for recruiting purposes. St. Ignatius is on one disc while the other three games are compiled on a single disc. If you need one, just send me an e-mail and I'll get it copied for you. Thanks - Ron

Andrew Lohner, a Defenseman on the Medina Battling Bees Lacrosse team recently received his Eagle Scout award, the highest rack attainable in the boy scouts.

Andrew is a member of Troop 514, (Scout Master is Mike Shoemaker) and has been involved with scouts since the first grade. For Andrew's Eagle Scout service project he planned and built 9 wheelchair accessible picnic tables for the Society for Handicapped Citizens. To build the tables Andrew was required to raise the funds to purchase the materials by participating in various troop fund raising activities.

Each of the nine tables have been placed at the nine different homes affiliated with the Society for Handicapped Citizens through Medina County. Congratulations Andrew!
