Creekside boys lacrosse reveling turnaround season

Creekside (10-1) will put its 10-game winning streak on the line against No. 1 Ponte Vedra tonight.

There are times where losses prove more beneficial than victories.

Creekside’s season-opening loss to Starr’s Mill certainly qualifies. The Knights boys lacrosse team thought they were going to be much improved this spring. A 12-7 loss recalibrated their attitudes.

No. 9 Creekside (10-1) has not lost since. The Knights will face their sternest challenge of the season when they host No. 1 Ponte Vedra tonight.
