Two TVWLL Teams Make Beetdigger Tournament Finals
Congratulations to the Eagle Mustangs and Bishop Kelly Knights for representing the TVWLL with outstanding performances at the 2010 Beetdigger Lacrosse Tournament in Salt Lake this weekend. Both teams went undefeated (3-0) in pool play and advanced to the Final Four, a single-elimination bracket for the top four teams. BK lost to Alta UT (11-4). Eagle actually tied Olympus UT (9-9), but lost on the tiebreaker, which gave the victory to the team that was first to score in the match (is that normal?).
Alta then edged Olympus in the final game. Nice job by both Idaho teams!
