Warriors Lacrosse Kick Off 'High School Rivalry Series' At Harvard Stadium

SUDBURY, MA—The Lincoln-Sudbury lacrosse team was given the honor of being chosen to play at Harvard Stadium on May 6 in the Boston Cannons first-ever “High School Rivalry Series” games.

The Boston Cannons announced that the team will host the first-ever “High School Rivalry Series” at select home games this season, featuring matchups of top high school lacrosse programs in Massachusetts playing before the Cannons take the field at Harvard Stadium, said the announcement.

The series was created to celebrate the ever-increasing high school lacrosse talent in Massachusetts and will begin prior to the Cannons home opener on May 6 at 7 p.m. against the Chesapeake Bayhawks.

“We are very excited to host the first every rivalry series at Harvard Stadium this year,” said Cannons President Ian Frenette in a statement. “Massachusetts has become a hotbed of lacrosse at all levels and it’s our goal to showcase the great teams and players in our scholastic ranks.
