Despite having the bases loaded, the team was unable to score any runs. “It’s just the beginning of the season. We’re just going to be playing out best by June, [and] that’s where champions are,” Rowe said.](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/IMG_3077-1200x900.jpg)

Meikle, who was an Editor-in-Chief for the yearbook last year as well, holds both and stands at the center of the group. “That was an amazing feeling, going and grabbing the third place award,” Meikle said. “All of it paid off. I cried so much over that book, being able to receive [the award] was one of the highlights of my high school career, it was like the coolest thing ever.”](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/8bookpose_philly-1200x800.jpg)
West Linn Varsity Lacrosse Stuns Jesuit in Last-Second 9-8 Playoff Win
See video in description. Trailing 8-7 against Jesuit (17-3) with just over one minute to play in Wednesday’s first OHSLA state West Linn (20-1) scored two goals fifteen seconds within each other to steal the lead from the Jesuit Crusaders. The Lions trailed the entire game, and fought back to gain the lead with a little less than a minute to play. The Lions lead for only fifty seconds the entire contest, and two goals from Ryan Klose, Sophomore, late in the game sealed the deal.
The Lions are now headed for the OHSLA State Championship for the second year in a row, against their bitter rivals Lakeridge (18-5). The Lions have defeated Lakeridge by one goal in the two in-league regular season games, and hope to make it a third victory.
The Lions next game is Saturday night (6/7/14) at 7 p.m. against defending state champions Lakeridge
