E.C. Glass boys deny Salem another state title
Updated June 13
Region 4D rivals E.C. Glass and Salem collided Saturday in the VHSL Class 4 boys lacrosse final and the result was similar to the region championship: a narrow Glass victory.
The Hilltoppers defeated Salem 10-8 at Heritage High in Leesburg to prevent the Spartans from repeating as state champion.
The title was the second for E.C. Glass as the Hilltoppers were crowned in 2018.
Other state lacrosse winners Saturday were Independence (Class 6 boys), Riverside (Class 5 boys and girls), James Madison (Class 6 girls) and Western Albemarle (Class 4 girls).
