June 3, 2014
This year, several spring sports teams had remarkable seasons that put them in the history books.
Boys Lacrosse
The Carlisle boys’ lacrosse team made history by winning the District Title. They are the first boys’ lacrosse team to win the District championship game.
The Herd beat the undefeated Wilson 11-8 at Hershey Park stadium on May 22.
Junior Drew West said, “It’s awesome. We were the first team in Carlisle to win the district title while a part of the PIAA and that is something special. It shows that Carlisle and the Mid-Penn are competitive with teams from all over district III.”
There season ended after their loss in the first round of the State Playoffs on Tuesday May 27 against Radnor.
Girls Lacrosse
The girls’ lacrosse team made their first appearance at the District playoffs.
Junior Rene Morrow, this season’s leading scorer with 76 goals, said, “It shows we’re improving more every year but we still have a long way to go.”
The Lady Herd lost to Exeter Township 22-4 during the first round.
Track and Field
Carlisle boys track team finished 2nd in the States, which was the highest overall team finish for the track team.
Junior Zach Brehm is the state champion in the mile and placed 4th in the 800.
Freshman Deshawn Millington also took home the gold in the Triple Jump and teammate Isa Paschall placed 8th.
Millington said, “It was a great experience for me especially for me as a freshman winning states.”
Returning to the runway next year, Millington hopes to strengthen his techniques and win states again.

My junior lacrosse season is one I will remember for the rest of my life. We as a team have accomplished so much, and have created history in the program. We were the first mid-penn team to win a district 3 championship. We reached many milestones. Going into the season many people doubted us, because we had lost many key and essential players. But all the doubt we got just fueled our flame to want to succeed even more. From the very first game of the season we just knew we were gonna be champions, and we kept that attitude throughout the whole season. This year we are going into the season as returning District 3 champions, and as a senior, I am excited to see what this year has in store for us!

I remember that game like it was yesterday never felt as proud to be a Carlisle lacrosse player and I hope to have a team with such great chemistry as last years.

I was apart of the boys lacrosse team and got to play a lot during the season it was an honor to be accepted in by the seniors. They all taught me a lot last year and were very helpful. It was a great season and was awesome to be the first team out of the Lancaster Lebanon league to win a District which is a big honor. Great article and watch out for us this year we are gonna try and come back even stronger

I am apart of the girl’s lacrosse team and it felt so good to make history and be the first team to make Districts. All the hard work in the off season had started to pay off. Last year we finally came together as a team and played like a team and we started competing. I feel like the girls lacrosse team doesn’t get any recognition even or have any respect especially from the boy’s team because we aren’t as good as them yet. We’ve had a winning season for the past two or three years and we’re only getting better. This year I really think we are going to be better than the boy’s lacrosse team because they graduated the majority or their varsity team and we have at least seven starters coming back for varsity. I am really looking forward to making more waves in Districts this year.

It’s always awesome to see sports teams improving, especially when they are put down by their peers. I supported girls lacrosse multiple times at games and they have improved so much.

Lacrosse was such a fun sport to manage and I’m looking forward to this upcoming season and I hope the guys do great things like they did last year. Even though they lost a lot of their seniors hopefully they’ll still make it really far.
