AHS Varsity Lacrosse places second in GT 2011 Turkey ShootOut Tournament

Dec. 13, 2011

(December 11, 2011): The Alpharetta Varsity Lacrosse team lost to Lambert 11-7 in the Georgia Tech 2011 Turkey ShootOut capping a great tournament that saw AHS go 5-1 over the course of the weekend.  On Saturday, AHS faced off against a tough Watlon team winning 16-12, then coasted to a 13-2 victory over Starr's Mill, and finally beat a resilient Chattahoochie 15-11.  Our 3-0 record on Saturday gave us the South Division #1 seed in the Championship Bracket going into Sunday.  On Sunday, AHS scored victories against the Force (18-11) and Etowah (13-7) earning the right to play for the Turkey Shootout Championship before falling short against Lambert. 

It should be noted that we outscored our opponents 82-54 through the six games.  Brett Grauss and Kyle Reed, combined, accounted for nearly half of Alpharetta's goals.  However, this was truly a great team effort and we played well in all phases of the game.  Kyle Seebolm made a number of spectacular saves in clutch moments as well.  For AHS to place second in an 18 team tournament (featuring many of the best teams in Northern Georgia) is highly respectable and should give us confidence and momentum as we prepare for our 2012 Varsity Spring season.
