Angie Barrett, a photographer and mom of one of the team girls said, “All of our girls were new to the sport, as I believe most other teams as well, but they learned so much and had really improved by the end of the season. The county park directors held lacrosse camps prior to the season starting back in the winter to help the kids get familiar with the game.  Mill Creek teams played in our new home park, Duncan Creek Park, here in the Hamilton Mill area. Grayson and Peachtree Ridge also played in new parks.  It was a great first season of Lacrosse for Gwinnett county and I have already heard of new players wanting to play in the next season. Prior to this season, the kids had to play in other neighboring counties that had lacrosse established, if they wanted to play. I believe this sport will really grow quickly in Gwinnett County now after word has gotten out about this season.”
