HUGE game - this is the semi-finals, and the winners meet up with the victor in the De La Salle/San Ramon Valley game, also taking place on Wednesday night.

Finals for NCS are being held at Dublin High School on Friday night at 7:30 p.m. according to the NCS CIF website.

Go Falcons!

This is great to have both our local teams playing this round. Good luck to both!

(However, the article doesn't mention that this is the Boys/Mens varsity lacrosse team ... it makes it sound as if there is only ONE kind of varsity lacrosse at either Amador or Foothill. The Girls/Womens teams at both schools exist and have played exceptionally well this year.)

Ptown has come a long way in this sport in both Girls and boys!!!!!! I believe all 4 teams are still in the play offs which is amazing.. Good job and good luck to all the young women and men representing Ptown in LAX and all other sports and academic contests...

Very well done!!!!!!!!!

Great game tonight - with Foothill taking it to the Finals on Friday night vs. De La Salle at Dublin High School. 7 p.m.

Foothill 8, Amador 3

These Foothill/Amador boys have played together for 6+ years - it's sad to see the Senior season ending - great game tonight though and looking forward to the NCS finals on Friday night! Go Falcons!

My son played for the Falcons in their inauguerial year(2002)and boy, did all the teams, players, coaches and fans have a blast. It's great to see its growth on the West coast!

GO LAX! Great job Falcons!

I played for Foothill on the 2002 team. What a great experience! One of our players went on to become a 3-time All-American for BYU... Glad to see that the program is still doing well!
