Spring sports are coming to an end, and the saddest and most thrilling moment is around the corner…Senior Night! Senior Night is always the last home game of each sport; it is the night dedicated to the seniors; a way to say good bye as they graduate and leave Wakefield. It is their last time playing on Wakefield turf.

Lacrosse player Jasmine Latney said, “people should come out to Senior Night because it’s a night where seniors acknowledge that it is their last time stepping foot on the Wakefield fields for a game…it’s also a time for seniors to take pride in all the work they have done with and for their team.” The Girls Lacrosse team just celebrated their Senior Night last Friday. It was a tough match against Yorktown. The ladies stayed strong and kept playing no matter how many points Yorktown put on the score board, #warriorspirit.

Senior Night definitely hits home to players that it will be their last Wakefield game. Senior softball co-captain Jadah Clarke said, “I’m going to miss watching everyone hit the most; because it just seems like when someone really gets a great hit, their eyes light up and the whole team gets ecstatic…it’s just really intense man!” Softball’s Senior Night is against Edison on Tuesday, May 5th at 6pm at Barcroft Softball Field #3.

Defensive player on the Boys Lacrosse Sean Kelly said, “Watch the game. It is our seniors’ last game. I won’t continue Lacrosse in college, so it will be my last time on the field playing a game that I have found very interesting. Come support Wakefield.” The Boys Lacrosse team celebrate Senior Night against Washington Lee on Tuesday, May 5th at 6:30pm on the Wakefield turf. #beatWL
