Lacrosse for a cause

The Pin Oak girls lacrosse team (pictured) participated in the Burning Flower Tournament held at Zube Park. The annual event honors a former player for the Cy-Fair Iron Maidens lacrosse team who passed away unexpectedly at the age of 13. Players donate stuffed animals that are provided to local police departments to give to children to hold for comfort in times of crisis. The Pin Oak tournament players and coaches are (top row, from left) coach Joe Arnett, Kahlan Desrosiers, Jane Apple, Madeleine Tejtel, Caroline Fajkus, coach Alan Ledergerber, Anne Marie Maurer, Charlotte Heemer, Kamilla Ledergerber, Cadence Richardson, Lior Levi, Sophie Polasek, Gabi Blankenship, Audrey Conklin, Emerson Etheridge, Olivia Sette, Fiona Duncan, Molly Jones, Reagan Pinkerton, coach Tabitha LeMaster, coach Trevor LeMaster, (bottom row, from left) Ainsley Mann, Kathryn Balke, Reese Robinson, Candace Hirschi, Madison Wasaff, Addison Garrow, Reed Adair, Charleigh DeArman, Tekla Borski, Cecily Tardy, and Teresa Pinkston.
