Golf Congrats to Johnny Muller ‘20 for earning All-IAC Honors at the IAC tourney. The field was very tough this year; the cut for All-League was three strokes lower than last year. Good job, Johnny. Landon w a solid showing earlier defeating SSSA 204-281. Very good play from Johnny Muller (‘20) Charlie Bundy (‘21) and Steven Samit (‘20)
Lacrosse (11-5) beat EHS in regular season play 11-6 and in the last game beat the theretofore higher seeded SSSA 7-6 in O/T. That moved the Bears to the #3 seed and set EHS as their 1st round IAC tournament foe. In an incredibly exciting come-from-behind win over the Maroon. Early in the 3rd Q after a 7 goal run, the High School had a 5 goal advantage.
