Photos: Hills Lacrosse Alumni Game

Proceeds from third annual event go to high school booster programs.

High School East was the scene Saturday afternoon of the third annual Hills lacrosse alumni game.

Alums from both East and West took to the field for some good spirited fun and to lend a hand, with proceeds donated to the high school lacrosse booster programs. The teams were divided up by odd and even years of graduation.

Organizer Eric Geringswald wasn't sure if anyone would show up when the first alumni game was held three years ago, but that certainly hasn't been an issue with well more than 50 players this year.

"You build it, they will come," said Geringswald, a Hills West grad.

Jim Metzer, Hills’ first winner in 1977 as Suffolk County’s top lacrosse player, was honored this year at halftime.

Hills East coach Bill Martens (1959-73) and other former coaches Lou DiBlasi, Doug Mayer and Stan Kowalski also came to enjoy the day.
