Ward Melville Lacrosse Plays in SWR Fall Classic

Coaches use tourney to analyze young talent.

Ward Melville's lacrosse team participated in the fourth annual Shoreham-Wading River Fall Classic Sunday.

With plenty of top college coaches on hand, the Patriots played other top teams on Long Island. The tournament is merely a showcase and no one actually wins.

Tom Rotanz, the head coach of Shoreham, calls the tourney the best fall ball get together in the nation. With schools like Garden City, Manhasset and others from the tri-state area around, he's on to something.
