What’s Happening: Grand Haven’s girls varsity lacrosse team will take on Spring Lake at home tonight in a highly anticipated game between two rivals. For three years straight, the Lakers have defeated the Buccaneers, making this year’s seniors anxious and hungry to beat Spring Lake before they depart. Key attackers such as senior Christina Byrne and senior Paige Kramer will have to lead the Bucs offensively, while vital defenders like seniors Emma Veldhuizen and Natasha Robertson will have to stop the Lakers’ attack.

They Said It: “We want to win this game so bad before we go,” senior defender Maddie Brockmyre said. “We want to win so bad we normally get inside our own heads, which is why we lose.”

Know Before You Go: The Bucs Care Food Pantry will be collecting canned goods and non-perishable items during tonight’s game. Each item you donate gets you a dollar off your admission price. The game starts at 7 p.m.
