Upcoming Weekend's Games...
The games for Saturday, May 1st are as follows:
The 5/6 Wolfpack will take on the 5/6 Steillacoom squad in a 10:30am match at Cleveland HS. Coach wants his players at the field by 9:30 for stretching and warmups.
The 7/8 ‘Pack will meet their Steillacoom counterparts for a 12:15 start, also at Cleveland. Please be at the field 1 hr prior to gametime.
In their penultimate game, our 3/4 youngsters travel to Queen Anne Bowl to take on Queen Anne 3/4 for a 1pm start. Please be at the field 45 minutes prior to game start. For those of you who have not played at Queen Anne Bowl, parking around game times can be a real challenge. They have lots of players and a 1pm start is pretty much at the peak of their day.
I just want to give a shout out to Peter Vogt and Bryan Schulz for having their 7/8 guys come on out to Garfield HS’s Men’s Lacrosse game this past Wednesday. The Bulldogs find themselves in...well, a dogfight for post season play. In this game, they beat division leader Roosevelt to reinforce their playoff chances.
It meant a lot to the Garfield players, and their coaches to have such a great turnout for what was an important game. Coach Kelly sends his warmest regards your way, guys...
The Central Seattle Lacrosse Club needs volunteers from all teams to help organize the End of the Season Party. Current plans are to have a potluck/barbecue at Cleveland Field on Sunday, May 23rd. We’ll supply ‘dogs or burgers and buns, and we ask families to supply the sides, drinks and desserts. As plans are solidified we’ll let you all know of any cost (should be minimal) for the event. We’ll have a couple of goals set up and players can show off their skills...maybe we’ll even have a pickup game or two. If you can help, perhaps by organizing your teams participation, please drop us a line and let us know...
Wednesday Practice Location Update
This Wednesday’s (4/28) practice has been changed to Cleveland HS. There is a conflict between Seattle Prep’s JV game and our previously reserved practice times at Georgetown.
We have checked with Parks and Recreation and Cleveland is indeed available. Time remains unchanged, still 5-7pm.
Thanks....
Results for Week 8...

These results are for games played April 24th...
The Central Seattle 5/6 Wolfpack found themselves in a contest dominated by defense this past weekend at Cleveland HS when they faced league-newcomer Harbor Fire 5/6. Goals were far-and-few for both sides in this game where the effectiveness of both keepers proved to be the deciding factor. Goals by Quincy Milton and Carter Smith and a 15-save performance by Stephen Strick anchored the ‘Pack to a 2-1 victory over their Gig Harbor opponents. Everyone worked hard however, with excellent team defense and a hard playing attack that scored when they were given the opportunity. With this win, the 5/6 squad improves their season record to 5-2-0, with a 4 game win streak
The 7/8 Wolfpack welcomed back their international traveling, award winning coach Peter Vogt this past Saturday. Their match with Harbor Fire 7/8 started off strong enough, with the ‘Pack jumping out to a 3-goal advantage early on. Our guys were worn down in the second half however by the Fire’s physical style of play, which was more reminiscent of football than Lax. I think most of their players were actually wearing football shoulder pads! Despite the combined efforts of keepers Max Schoenfeld and Spencer Schulz, the Wolfpack ultimately fell to their South Sound visitors 8-6. Yesterday’s loss drop the senior Wolfpack’s record to 6-2-0 for the season.
Our 3/4 squad played another double header at Bothell HS yesterday afternoon. As soon as we get an update from Coach Fimmano, we’ll get it up here. These guys have played a number of these two-game marathons and it must be exhausting to both players and coaches.
We have also added a few more photos to the Photo Gallery...

Games for Saturday 4/24
This is for games scheduled for Saturday, 4/24.
The day’s action commences with a 10:30 am start for our 5/6 team as they take on Gig Harbor’s HarborFire 5/6 at Cleveland HS Field. Coach Milton would like his players on the field an hour before game time.
This game is followed immediately by the 7/8 ‘Pack’s contest with HarborFire 7/8 which is scheduled to get underway at 12:15 pm. Please have players ready to go by 11:15 am.
The 3/4 guys will be working double duty as they start the first half of a double bill at 3 pm with a faceoff with southend visitor, Puyallup Black. This match will be followed by a 5pm match with HarborFire 3/4. Both of these games will be at Bothell High School.
I don’t know how the 3/4 guys keep getting these double headers, but we wish them, and their parents, our best. At least their season will be over in two weeks. The older guys will play for another month...
Looks like a 50-50 chance of rain on Saturday, so be sure to dress warmly and keep the rain gear handy.
See ya.
Practice Location for Wednesday
Wednesday April 21 2010 Filed in: News
The location for Wednesday’s (4/21) practice has been changed again. It is now at Genesee Field, on East Beacon Hill.
Earlier in the week we reported that it was to be moved to Cleveland, but due to field conditions and other factors it was re-relocated earlier today.
Session time remains 5-7pm.
Sorry for any extra confusion...
Week 7's Results...

The results from Week 7’s games are now in the books. All games were played at Cleveland HS field this past Saturday, 4/17, against representatives of Queen Anne Lacrosse
The 3/4 Wolfpack started off the weekend’s festivities with an excellent contest, that featured some pretty impressive Wolfpack passing and playmaking. Our guys showed a great deal of skill and patience in moving the ball efficiently, and making the most of their scoring opportunities. Since we do not officially keep score for these games, I can’t tell you who won, but if we had kept score our boys would have won by a wide margin. Everyone played well, with Mighty Myles and Warren taking shifts between the pipes to anchor the Wolfpack victory.
The 5/6 squad followed with a hard fought contest. Buoyed by solid offensive play by Quincy, Beau, and Jackson Evans, and equally effective defensive play by Henry Bryan and keeper Stephen Strick, the ‘Pack jumped out to an early 7-1 lead in the first half. The boys fought to maintain their lead through the game’s final quarter against a suddenly effective QA attack, and held on for an 8-5 victory. The 5/6 Wolfpack’s season record improves to a solid 4-2-0.
The day’s final contest pitted the heretofore undefeated 7/8 squad against a very, very solid Queen Anne team. This was an especially hard fought game, with solid play by both teams. The normally potent Wolfpack attack came up a bit short yesterday however, allowing the Warriors to post a final 8-6 tally over the ‘Pack. The 7/8 team suffers it’s first loss to post a 6-1-0 season record. The boys all played hard, however, and will surely bounce back next week. Assistant Coach Bryan Shulz’s record is now 1-1...
We’ve been putting together a Photo Gallery of our teams’ play and have posted it at the link on the right. If you have any photos that you’d like to submit for publication, feel free to forward them, or a link to them on to Wolfpack Central and we’ll try and get them up.
Have a great week, and we’ll see you all next weekend...
This weekend's games...
We have finally hit the Trifecta...all three Wolfpack teams playing in the same place (Cleveland HS)! I know this has been rare this season, so let’s enjoy it!
The day starts off with the 3/4 Wolfpack vs their counterparts from Queen Anne. Gametime is 9:30am, please be there 45 minutes prior to the faceoff.
The 5/6 will also play Queen Anne at 10:30am. Coach Quincy would like his players to report to the field no later than 1hr prior to the start.
The day’s action is rounded out with the 7/8 team trying to extend their undefeated season when they too take on Queen Anne. Players need to be ready to go 1 hr prior.
This is an excellent opportunity for the younger guys to hang around and watch the older guys do their thing. As each level progresses upward, the play become faster, and the skills more developed. The younger guys could really benefit from watching.

Week 5's Results

The results of Week 5’s games played April 3rd are as follows:
The 5/6 Wolfpack improved their season record to 3-2-0 with a 9-8 OT decision against Kitsap 5/6 in a home contest at damp Cleveland High School field. On a slower than normal surface the younger Wolfpack squad proved their mettle with a solid showing on this cool Saturday morning. The game see-sawed most of the day with neither team gaining more than a two goal advantage. Once again, late in the 4th quarter the ‘Pack came back’ to tie the contest at 8-8.
With less than 2 minutes gone in the Sudden Victory OT period, Quincy Milton poked in the game winner. Young Mr. Milton ended the day with 4 goals, while solid play from Beau McKelvey and a “bruising” performance by Jackson Evans topped the day’s success. In fact the entire Wolfpack squad was responsible for this great all ‘round effort.
The 7/8 Wolfpack continued their winning ways with an overwhelming 10-1 blowout of Lakeside at Lakeside Middle School. Coach Peter Vogt has his team hitting on all cylinders this year with his more experienced players leading the way, showing the result of all the hard work that this team has done so far.
What is truly remarkable about their performance is that 70-80% of all goals scored this season have been on assists! This is very rare in a middle school team, in fact it’s rare in a team at any level! It’s a testament to unselfish, balanced play and it’s a real pleasure to watch.
The senior ‘Pack remains undefeated at 5-0-0 for the season...
The 3/4 guys got a much deserved weekend off, after their doubleheader last weekend, and the one that’s coming up this one. No rest for the weary, I suppose...
As far as we know, all teams will be practicing this week at normal times and location. Please check with your individual coach, or watch out for notices from them for any changes.
Also please keep an eye open for mention of any changes to this weekend’s games. With Spring Break ending for some, starting for others, and in some case continuing on, please keep you coach informed of your intention to show up for this weekend’s contests. With enough warning, games will not have to forfeited, but instead can be rescheduled to an alternate date.
Have a great week...
Week 5 Game Schedules
Week 5’s games to be played Saturday, 4/3/2010 are as follows:
The 5/6 Wolfpack will face off against Kitsap 5/6 in a home contest at Cleveland HS starting at 10:30 am. Coach Milton would like players to be at the field by 9:30 for warm ups and stretches. Be advised that the weather may not be anything like it’s been for the past couple of weeks. Dress in layers and provide some post game warmth.
The 7/8 squad will travel to Lakeside Middle School for an 11am contest with Lakeside 7/8. Please be at the field ready to go at 10 am. It will most likely be a wet one, so dress accordingly...
The 3/4 squad is idle this week...
The Spring Break season is upon us. Since Central Seattle draws from many different schools with an array of vacation schedules, this is a challenging time for coaches to field an effective team. Please be sure and contact your coach directly, not us, with any vacation plans that may affect your son’s attendance. With enough advance warning and a cooperative opponent, games can often be rescheduled. It’d be a real shame to show up to play without enough guys to field a team, and be forced to forfeit.
We will keep you apprised to the best of our ability of any changes to the schedules. The Sportability schedules are considered the final authority, however. (These are the ones you get when you click on the links to the right)
From all of us here at Wolfpack Central, we wish you a great Spring break, and if you have travel plans, have a safe trip. Play some wall ball, and stay in shape!
