The South Florida Chapter of US Lacrosse honored its 2016 All-Americans, All-Academic students, and All-Region teams in a special collaboration with the Florida Launch.
14 All-Americans, 18 All-Academics, and All-Region first, second, and honorable mention teams were recognized at the event on June 11. As a part of the festivities, the players were recognized during a banquet at FAU Stadium before the Florida Launch took on the Denver Outlaws. The Master of Ceremonies for the banquet was local Sun-Sentinel high school reporter Wells Dusenbury. In addition to the banquet, the high school players were honored on the field during half time of the Major League Lacrosse game.
This was the first such banquet since 2014. The South Florida chapter of US Lacrosse is extremely pleased that partnering with the Florida Launch has brought the award ceremony back for the dedicated lacrosse players in the region.
