EAGLE COUNTY, Colorado —The girls high school division of the Vail Lacrosse Shootout ended Wednesday with the Heros taking home the trophy with a victory over last year’s champion, M&D Lax.
Today, the men’s and women’s elite finally kicks off with pool play in both divisions. =
A rundown on Wednesday’s action:
Heros 7, M&D Lax 6
After 71 games of play the 2008 girls high school championship came down to a backyard battle between M&D Lax and Heros, both of which reside in the Baltimore area. While dominating the early action, Heros only hung on to a fragile two-goal lead.
When M&D finally scored midway through the first half to cut the lead to one, Heros quickly answered with two goals to expand their lead to three. M&D scored a late first half goal to end the half at 4-2.
VAIL, Colorado — The familiar chant started as the final seconds wound down Wednesday. It continued as the Baltimore team posed for a team picture with every family member seemingly present with a camera.

Each year, it’s new cast of characters in Baltimore blue and gold, and for the third year in a row, the Crabs locked their claws onto a boys high school Vail Lacrosse Shootout title. Tuesday, Baltimore broke open a close 6-5 game at halftime against the Colorado Favorites and cruised to a 13-6 win.
