Tonight, Chaminade and Harvard-Westlake are playing for the second time this week - this time at H-W.

In Tuesday's paper, there was an article about the start of lacrosse in the San Fernando Valley. Geoff Seibold, Dr. Mike Spagnoli, Leon Bennett and James Felber were mentioned as being instrumental.
Unfortuately, not everyone involved were named at the time, but another very important contributor to the start of the area lacrosse was Bill Adams, who was one of the coaches of the early teams as well as an important influence early.

The News regrets the omission of Adams and of others who weren't named by name at that time.

In late arriving scores, the Lions beat Laguna Blanca 7-6 in a Condor League lacrosse game at home last Tuesday.

Both Kyle Radenberg and Chris Loman scored goals in the Carey and Sewanhaka games.

When Crespi returns home this week, then Mission League foe Chaminade travels to Connecticut for their East Coast road trip.

If anyone has a roster of the Crespi lacrosse team, please send a copy to john.wareham@dailynews.com so I can identify the player 'Wayler,' who also scored goals during their road trip - but I don't know his first name.

Loren Klein set a new school record with seven assists in the Lions 15-7 win over Chadwick in nonleague play.
Robbie Thomson scored six goals and had three assists and Kyle Stanich scored three times and also had an assist, while Mike Johnson had two goals for Oaks Christian, now 4-4 and 2-0 in the Condor League.

Goalie Giorgio Valenzuela had seven saves and the Lions defense only allowed 14 shots on goal.

Here is a photo of Loren Klein - who also had three goals against Chadwick - in action against Malibu. The photo was taken by Bob Schoppe, whose son Justin is a freshman on the lacrosse team.

Look for the Boys Spotlight about Chaminade lacrosse player Ben Mahony in today's paper.

The Eagles meet Oak Park tonight at 6:30.

I had misidentified a Chaminade goal scorer in the game against Loyola this weekend as Mark Bitter. It was actually his twin brother Ryan. My apologies.

The Eagles suffered their second loss to Loyola this year, losing 11-5 on Saturday. Ben Mahony had 3 goals and Anthony Daniels and Ryan Bitter had a goal apiece.

Here are pictures of Daniels (6) and Mahony (2) in previous action.

Look for Mahony in Tuesday's paper, in the Boys Spotlight section.

Chaminade's game against Brentwood that was scheduled for today was postponed and Loyola, the top team in the Mission League, defeated Crespi 13-1.

The Wolverines scored six goals in the first seven minutes of the third quarter to dominate the Normans in nonleague lacrosse at Beverly Hills High.
Charlie Weintraub, Connor O'Toole and Dan Edelstein scored the first four goals for Harvard-Westlake (4-1) in the first half.
After changing the offensive scheme at halftime, the Wolverines came out in the third quarter and went crazy - scoring on their first three possessions - including within the first nine seconds. O'Toole, Craig Myerson, Joey Edwards, Tyler Wallace and Rex Richardson all scored in the third quarter, while the defense held Normans to four shots on the goal the whole second half.

Here are some photos from the game. Weintraub (#5), O'Toole (8), Edelstein (19), Edwards (23), Wallace (11) and Richardson (4) are all pictured.

Photographer and lacrosse parent David Jackson supplied these photos from Thursday nights game.

Here are more photos from last night's game that Chaminade won 10-7.

The first several is Michael Spagnoli (#3) scoring his - and Chaminade's - first goal of the game.
Ben Mahony is #2, Spagnoli #3, Anthony Daniels is #6 and David Ma is #7

Last night, Chaminade hosted Culver City in lacrosse and the Eagles got goals from four different players and came away with the 10-7 nonleague win.

The combination of Ben Mahony, Michael Spagnoli and Anthony Daniels proved to be too much for the Centaurs - with each of them scoring from all over the place all game. Mahony finished the game with four goals, while Spagnoli had three and Daniels had two. Long stick defenseman Craig Seidenglanz - who plays defense and nothing else most of the time - got a ahold of the ball late in the game, quickly drove through the crowd and scored his first career goal.. A player in his position rarely crosses the midway point of the field and therefore is never in a position to take a shot, let alone score.

Here are some photos from last nights' action. Daniels is #6, Mahony is #2 and Spagnoli is #3 and Seidenglanz is #1

More photos later....also photos from a parent......to be continued........

The box score came in slightly too late to make the paper, but Oaks Christian beat Malibu 10-6 in the first Condor League game of the season for both teams.

Kyle Stannich had five goals for the Lions - now 2-2, 1-0 in league - while Robbie Thomson had three and Brennan Munro and Michael Cerios each scored once.

The Condor League consists of Oaks Christian, Malibu, CATE and Thacher while the Mission League lacrosse teams are Chaminade, Crespi, Harvard-Westlake, Brentwood and Loyola (Windward used to be a part of that league, but their program dissolved between last year and this year)

Thursday night action includes Chaminade at home against Culver City at 6:30. Harvard-Westlake plays at Beverly Hills on Saturday at 1pm.

In last nights action:

Crespi beat St John Bosco 9-1 with freshman Kyle Randenberg scoring four goals and Tony Kratz, Greg Briggs Jr., Dom Abat, Connor Doyle and John Silva scoring a goal apiece.

Also in Mission League action, Loyola of Los Angeles beat Chaminade 9-4. It's the first overall loss for the Eagles this season as well as their first league loss.

The high school lacrosse season has started. The sport has gained popularity over the last several years and now includes teams in the San Fernando Valley.

Chaminade has had a team for several years now as do Crespi, Harvard-Westlake, Loyola, Brentwood - which compile the Mission League competitors.

Last year, Chaminade won the Mission League in lacrosse while Crespi came in second. They played for the first time this season on Saturday, with Chaminade winning 5-3. Anthony Daniels (Chaminade #6) had three goals for the Eagles and Ben Mahony added two during the game that saw Crespi come back to tie it at three in the third period, after being down 3-1 at halftime.

Here are some photos from Saturday's action.

In the last two - that is a penalty on Crespi.
