Falcons Celebrate Youth And Community At Green Hornets Lacrosse Night

Severna Park High School’s girls lacrosse team could not have scripted a better event for the program’s third annual Green Hornets Lacrosse Night on April 23. About 50 Green Hornets players attended the game and cheered on the home team as the Falcons prevailed 5-4 in a thrilling double-overtime victory against the visiting Seahawks.

As part of the evening’s festivities, several registered Green Hornets players were randomly selected to be announced with the varsity team during the starting lineups. Each player was introduced with their name, grade, current school and a fun fact — bringing smiles to the crowd and shining a spotlight on the future of the program.

During halftime, the excitement continued with a special locker room tour led by the JV team. The young players also received exclusive Falcon gear and a complimentary pretzel from the concession stand — small tokens of a big night.

The tradition was started three years ago by Severna Park varsity girls lacrosse head coach Annie Houghton and has since become an anticipated event for players, coaches and families alike.

“It’s a great community event and fun for everyone,” Houghton said. “We love seeing the players so excited. This is what it’s all about.”
