Lacrosse is on fire as the hottest upcoming sport in Southern California, and Los Alamitos/South Bay Leverage Lacrosse has captured the crown jewel in “Box” lacrosse. The Leverage Black Boys Middle School club team recently captured the box championship with a 14-10 win over the Dragons of Santa Monica. Leverage rallied after being down six goals to dominate the final moments of the game, scoring three goals in less than three minutes to capture the coveted title. Leverage Black finished their season undefeated.
Box lacrosse is played on indoor hockey rinks, and the exciting, high-speed game of play, which originated in Canada, is growing in popularity among players in Orange County. Leverage Lacrosse is coached by Chris Jewett, head coach of Los Alamitos High School, and Jesse Cox, varsity defensive coordinator of Los Alamitos High School.
