game details and story by J.C. Carnahan, For the Sentinel “Lake Brantley’s girls oust Lake Highland, reaches girls lacrosse state tournament”.
Lake Brantley’s girls lacrosse team earned its third straight trip to the state semifinals with an 18-10 victory against Lake Highland Prep in a second-round play-in game Friday night.
Lake Brantley (15-3), ranked second in the Sentinel Super Six, held 10-point leads twice in the second half after building an 8-2 advantage at the half. Despite that, Patriots second-year coach Hanna Hopkins sees more work to be done regarding the team’s draw controls and ground balls.
“Not our best game,” Hopkins said. “But it’s a win, so we’ll take it.”
