Dear Stonewall Boy's Lacrosse Family,
I would like to announce that I’ve accepted the Boy’s Varsity Head Coach position. I would also like to thank you all for your support and encouragement. I’m so excited about this amazing opportunity and I cannot wait for the spring season to be here. Coach O and I have been talking about offseason plans and wanted to inform everyone as to what we have planned so far. I have recently registered Stonewall in the Virginia Elite Lacrosse (VEL) fall season. In order to have our own team we need at least 21 registered players. If we do not have at least 21 players registered we will be put on a team consisting of players from various schools. Participation with VEL is open to ALL (Varsity, JV, incoming freshmen) Stonewall players. VEL games will take place every Saturday from September 8th through October 27th. We will get at least 8 games and will have the chance to compete in a playoff. Games start every hour from 8:30 AM through 8:30 PM. Player registration opens on August 1st. I am excited for our boys to play in this very competitive league and our participation will help individual players develop and will be beneficial for our program. Please let me know if your family will register for VEL’s fall league. I’m hoping that we will get more than enough players so we can focus on developing as a program this off-season. http://virginia-elite-lacrosse.com/ Additionally, we will be competing in the Fall Brawl 7 v 7 event. This is an annual event that takes place at Robinson High School. This year's Fall Brawl is on the weekend of November 17th and 18th. The cost is $75 per player and this fee includes 6 games and a T-shirt jersey. Again we would love to have as many players participate for individual development and program growth. http://fairfaxfallbrawl.com/ Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, Sean McMahon SJ Boy’s Varsity Lacrosse Head Coach

Stonewall Jackson High School's Boys Lacrosse Program is thrilled to announce and welcome our new head varsity coach Sean McMahon. With a long history of lacrosse as both a player and coach, Sean is excited to come back and give back to the Raiders! A 2009 Stonewall grad and VCU class of 2012 alumnus, Sean has a wealth of playing and coaching experience, which includes his role as assistant coach for our team last year. We look forward to a great season and future under Coach McMahon's leadership!
WHAT A NIGHT! A night for champions! The All-Raiders Alumni-Varsity Game was a tremendous success! A great show of sportsmanship, camaraderie and strong sense of pride for Stonewall Jackson High School. New friendships were made and a reaffirmation to what makes Stonewall such a special place was confirmed. Special thanks to our AD Kevin Turner for his unwavering support and making this a reality; to Patricia Schumaker of Stonewall Jackson Volunteer Fire Department for volunteering her time and EMT services (thank God her services weren't needed!); to A.J. Laban for his voice and wit serving as our evening's announcer; to John Becker and Coach Adam Ward for being our awesome referees; to Pat Hogan for being our evening's photographer; to Sean McMahon for overseeing fine details & coordination; to Coach Justin Orabona and Trevor Wilkinson for stepping up and playing goalie posts; and to Carma Becker and Julie Hogan for organizing and coordinating the event. Most of all, we thank all our Raiders (past and present) AND all our families and friends who came out to watch. We are counting on all of you to continue to support our program. It most certainly takes a village... and we've got an amazing one. Let's continue to nurture it and help it grow. With tremendous pride, we salute our young men for inspiring excellence not just on the field, but first and foremost, in the classroom! To make the US Lacrosse All-Academic team, Mason, Ben, Brennan and Trevor all maintained over a 3.6 cumulative GPA while dedicating themselves to the sport of lacrosse, along with many other extra-curricular activities. They are stand out representatives of our school and community.
Ben Goodson achieved the highest honor being named US Lacrosse Academic All-American. He is one of only six young men (over 170 nominated) from our entire region who achieved this honor. CONGRATULATIONS - RAIDER NATION! We're back on! This THURSDAY, JUNE 7th we play! For those who have already officially registered, look for an email later today. We ask that you reply back to the email (or post a comment in this blog below) letting us know if you can still play on Thursday. We'll update the Roster with confirmed players for the new date.
MANY THANKS TO OUR ATHLETIC DIRECTOR KEVIN TURNER FOR BEING SO INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE PLANNING PROCESS! GO RAIDERS! Sadly, today's game is literally a wash. Fields are flooded. We are hoping to reschedule the game sometime this week, so stay tuned for updates.
Ready to Rumble? In about 24 hours, IT'S ON! An epic battle, brother against brother, the old guard versus the new, the quest for bragging rights... (Kidding!) Let's get together for a great time! Be sure to check out our website home page for our ever growing list of players! So far, we've got 25 alumni and 11 varsity players officially registered. An email will be sent to all of you later today. Main details for game day at SJHS Stadium follow:
* NOTE: ALL players MUST sign a liability waiver to participate. Players under the age of 18 MUST have parents sign this form. No one will be permitted to play without submitting this. “I’m a pretty good winner. I’m a terrible loser. And I rub it in pretty good when I win.” ~ Tom Brady What a thrill seeing how many Alumni have signed up to come back to our alma mater to play once more at Stonewall Jackson! In less than one week, we've got 23 alumni officially registered! Check out our website home page for the ever-growing roster.
And with growing interest and LOTS of good-natured rivalries going on between alumni and current varsity players, we are opening this game up to CURRENT VARSITY RAIDERS. If enough varsity players sign up, we may have an alumni-vs-varsity game! Be sure to register today! Reminder to all players and parents:
We will be having a final locker room clean out and gear turn in today after school. If you still need to get anything out of the locker room, as well as turn in your helmet, equipment bag, or any borrowed gear, TODAY is the day to do it! If you are interested in keeping something for the purposes of playing off-season lacrosse, you must either come after school and/or fill out the Gear Loan Agreement and scan/email to either Coach Ward or Coach Orabona. Please be sure to REGISTER TODAY for the Alumni lacrosse game next weekend! There is no cost to play or watch - we simply want to get together for a day of fun & camaraderie. With any luck, this might evolve into an annual event which showcases and celebrates a great sport, program, school and community!
Calling All SJHS Boys Lacrosse Alumni!
Want to relive those glory days? Join us for a Raiders Lacrosse Alumni Game on Sunday, June 3rd at Stonewall Jackson High School Stadium. Game starts at 6 pm with registration and warm-ups at 5 pm. This great opportunity came suddenly so we’re just in planning mode now. More concrete details to come. Maybe it’s just an informal gathering of Raiders who share great memories and affection for SJHS dusting off pads, helmets and sticks and getting together for a good time (although we’ve got some college players in the mix, and we’ve never known a Raider that’s not in it to win it…) But maybe this can evolve into something more. We’re looking to build a bridge between Stonewall Jackson High School, past alumni and current students. We hope this might blossom into an alumni network that provides means for successful grads to connect back our alma mater and provide ways for all to get involved. We hope to inspire you to engage in Stonewall Lacrosse and help it grow so that future generations of Raiders can enjoy the benefit that our program offers to students, our school and our community. Spread the word to other Alumni! You’ve got about a week to get in shape! Once a Raider, Always a Raider! “We just had the best car buying experience ever!! We’ve seen the posts and heard the stories of Billy Brown’s Ourisman Chantilly Kia’s second to none service, but last night, we were had the privilege and pleasure experiencing it first-hand. From start to finish, the amazing sales professionals, Tyler Bratcher and Ben Braunstein, were knowledgeable, attentive, genuine and simply outstanding. This is what car buying should be like. We whole-heartedly endorse this business. And be sure to ask for Tyler when you visit. The added bonus is he’s a Stonewall Alum, a former soccer star, who I initially thought would be quiet and all business, but turned out to be extremely funny and engaging, which again, made the entire experience so special.
You’ve got a Top Notch Team & run a Class Act over at Ourisman Chantilly Kia, Billy Brown. THANK YOU!” ~ Stephanie LeClair SALUTING OUR CLASS OF 2018! WISHING OUR SENIORS ALL THE BEST ON THE NEXT PHASE OF THEIR LIVES!5/17/2018 Trevor LeClair – 1st Team Attack AND Boys Lacrosse Player of the Year
