The fledgling Fluvanna Lacrosse program garnered a little more publicity in its effort to establish varsity boys and girls teams at the school. NBC29 took another look at how the process is moving forward, especially with a new school being built for the county’s students. Fluvanna’s athletic director says that the money for the new program is being raised through a mix of donations, fundraisers and grants through US Lacrosse. Hopefully, they will have their first game this spring.

NBC 29 has a nice spot about Fluvanna County’s upcoming lacrosse program at Fluvanna County High School.

Fluvanna County rising senior Kelly Douma, who has played lacrosse for one year, said, “You can’t start a successful program without starting somewhere.”

Fluvanna boys club lacrosse assistant coach Brian Wilberger said, “We’re ready for this. This is something we’ve been waiting for for many a year. There’s been a lot of kids that have come and gone through Fluvanna County that have not had the opportunity to play varsity or JV sanctioned sport here for lacrosse, but now it’s right here. We’re knocking at the door. We’re ready to come right through.”

In addition, Junior Varsity teams — both Boy’s and Girl’s — are planned for 2007 at Fluvanna County High School.
