Proe photo, Hawks lose two to start seaso-n Henry Street Hawks, in their first season in LOSSA field lacrosse, dropped games to East- dale CVI and McLaughlin CVI to open the season. Hrenry lost 8-2 to McLaughlin, defending Ontario high school Champions, and 6-5 to Eastdale, second-ranked last year in Ontario. Henry's next league game was scheduled for Tuesday, Ma 2, against Central, third- ranked last year. That's tough opposition for the first-year Henry team, says Glen Lotton, a teacher in drafting and architectural design, also in his first year at Henry. But Lotton says there are a number of players who show great poten- tial, including Brian Munroe and Adam Foote. Foote just comnple- ted his first year of junior A hockey in Sault Ste Marie. Foote scored two goals as did Russ Culpepper, Matt Shearer and Troy-Zn Santos, for Whitby in the first two games, while Munroe and Mark Nash had singles. Santos, a member of the Ontario women field lacrosse team, is soon heading for the U.S. on a lacrosse scholarship. Lotton is planning to make some reductions to a 28-player roster as Playoffs approach. There are only six league games with the LOSSA championship on Thursday, May 16. Henry wifl play Wednesday (May 3) in a tournament in Peterborough where teams will be rated. Lotton says Whitby will likely will become a B team, based on current performance. The Ontariop reliminary cham ionship round will be held in Osgawa, a Lakeview Park, on May 30. The Ontario finals will be held June 2. Lotton bas extensive box lacrosse experience, as he played for the junior A Wl itby gid Wings and then Brooklin -Red- men from 1960 to 1967, before moving to the World Professional Lacrosse Association teams in Detroit and Maryland. He also coached the Whitby Lasco Stee- lers junior B team, Ajax Knights junior B team, Oshawa Lasco senior team, Brooklin Redmen senior A team, and assisted coach Jim Bishop in Detroit in 1968 (at the same time, Bishop coacbed Oshawa Green Gaels). Lotton made a return to coach- ing as he guided a Whitby midget team two years ago. Field lacrosse, played outdoors on a football-sized 1'ield, h as 10 p ayers from each team on the field a t the same time.
