Red Hot lacrosse

The SBMSA Red Hot Chili Peppers lacrosse team (pictured) won the 10U championship. Coached by Craig Peterson and Josh Grabiner, the third- and fourth-grade girls finished the regular season, and then won the single-elimination playoff tournament to claim the championship. This year was the first lacrosse season for many of the girls on the team. The coaches enjoyed introducing them to lacrosse and watching them grow all season long. The Red Hot Chili Pepper champs are (top row, from left) Haley Selzer, Brynn Derrick, Scarlett Boone, Elizabeth Dale, Caroline Peterson, Olivia Zurek; (middle row, from left) Lauren Cliburn, Caroline Tcholakian, Abby Sutherland, Ashley Liu, Bijou Rajaie; (bottom row, from left) Charlotte Grabiner and Francesca Belopolsky; not pictured: Madelyn Zhang and Charlotte McTaggart.
