ABOUT THE RET THOMAS SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD
The Ret Thomas Sportsmanship Award is presented in memory of Ret Thomas, son of the first SCLL Commissioner. Ret was the first player on a sub-collegiate
team in South Carolina to score a goal in interscholastic competition. He was a prime example of the toughest competitive spirit and the highest regard for
others that one could find embodied in a human being. It was in Ret's memory that much of the initial effort toward the organization of high school and youth lacrosse in South Carolina began.
This recognition of good sportsmanship is given annually to the school whose lacrosse team, by the vote of the officials and umpires for the SCLL, best exemplifies the highest standards of sportsmanship consistent with the tradition of lacrosse.
Congratulations to the 2009 winners

MANDELL ELECTED TO HALL
Steve Mandell has been elected to the S.C Lacrosse Hall of Fame in the 2009 class.
He has been instrumental in the development of lacrosse, particularly at the middle school level since the chapter's inception in 2000. Steve is a true ambassador of the sport and over the years has become the "voice of South Carolina Lacrosse" volunteering for Championship weekends and All Star Games. Steve will become Head of the Pine School, in Florida next year. We wish him well and thank him for his many contributions to "our sport".
SOUTH CAROLINA HIGH SCHOOL LEAGUE SANCTIONS LACROSSE
The SCHSL Executive Committee voted unanimously, on October 23rd, to sanction the sport of lacrosse for both boys and girls. From our
meager beginnings in 2000 when there was only one high school lacrosse team in South Carolina to today when there are over 45 the sanctioning
presents great opportunity and motivation for all the public schools in South Carolina to start lacrosse teams. The growth of lacrosse to the
point of being sanctioned by the SCHSL has been accomplished by the enthusiastic efforts of hundreds of folks who dedicated themselves to a
project for the benefit of the kids. The SCHSL will begin to conduct "Open State Championships" in both boys and girls lacrosse in the 2009-2010 school year.
The SCLL will run it's championship season, in 2009, as it has for the past 8 years.
