Henry Clay High School captured the Kentucky Lacrosse Association’s 2013 state championship with a 10-4 win over Lexington Catholic on May 18. Five players scored for the Blue Devils, who capped an undefeated season under coach Taylor McCoun and faculty sponsor Tim Bailie. Seniors Braxton DeCamp and Adam Weiland were named co-MVPs.
Lacrosse is a club sport in the Commonwealth; it is not sanctioned by the Kentucky High School Athletic Association. In this year’s 16-team state tournament, Henry Clay defeated Tates Creek to advance to the title match, and Paul Laurence Dunbar lost in the semifinals.
The “Honor the Game” award went to Bryan Station High School as the team that best demonstrated respect for coaches, teammates, opponents, officials and fans, and honored the traditions and spirit of lacrosse on and off the field.
