Lacrosse was all the eye could see.

From Genesee Street all the way up the hill to the lacrosse field immediately behind Jamesville-Dewitt High School on Edinger Drive. It was all lacrosse, all the time.

It's the King of  the Hill Tournament, hosted by Jamesville-Dewitt Youth Athletics.

Mike Durkin, director of JDYA lacrosse told me that over 3,000 people were on J-D property today, including spectators. Those spectators were on hand to watch over 70 lacrosse teams, all from 8th grade and younger battle it out on several fields.

It's a direct indicator of why J-D lacrosse has been a force to be reckon with in recent years the talent level is deep, even down to the youngest of competitors on Saturday, Kindergarteners.
