The Woodlands Lacrosse program held the sixth annual Jack Schantz Day on Saturday at the Gullo Fields with all three of their junior high school teams as well as both high school teams in action.

The late Jack Schantz was responsible for founding the junior high school program in The Woodlands back in 1999 and his tireless efforts have given hundreds of young players the opportunity to play lacrosse. Jack was diagnosed with cancer in the early 2000’s but continued to coach until his passing. The organization now has The Jack Schantz Award which is presented to a person who exhibits a strong sense of community and volunteerism. Jack was known for his inspirational one liners, not the least of which was… “The direction you wear your hat is the direction your life is going.”

Also taking part in the festivities were the late Hannah Skomp’s mother, Paula and sister Taylor. Before the Division 1 high school game against Austin Westlake, The Woodlands Lacrosse President Mike Lowery introduced Taylor and she offered some inspirational words for everyone in a wonderful tribute to Hannah. click here for complete story
