submitted by Eric Crawford
On Saturday, June 5, a rivalry was born. The Cambridge and Hoosick Falls boys lacrosse teams met for the first time in Cambridge for an exhibition game. The score was 14-7 in favor of Cambridge, but that is not the whole story. What is most important is that a rivalry was born and history was made by the boys who played the game. There was a large crowd on hand to support the teams during the Cambridge Balloonfest weekend. It was great to see these teams meet for the first time and to say we were there to be a part of it. It’s a part of history and just the beginning.
