Eighth grader Parker Rose (pictured, at right) runs past a defender on his way to the goal in a lacrosse game against Lake Travis. Parker attends River Oaks Baptist School (ROBS) and plays for the Sidewinders lacrosse tournament team with other eighth-grade boys from ROBS, St. John’s School, The Kinkaid School and Memorial Middle School. The Sidewinders are coached by David deLemos and have been successful on the field, including winning first place in the Laxpalooza tournament held in College Station. Parker plays the attack position and began playing lacrosse in fourth grade. He plans to continue in high school, playing for both a school team and summer travel team.
