The kings want their crown back.
By Cape Elizabeth High boys’ lacrosse standards, going three years without a state title appearance – let alone a championship – is an eternity. Never mind that in 2020, there was a pandemic and the season wasn’t even played. It still constitutes a drought for the Capers, and 2021 is the last chance for the current seniors to claim a banner of their own.

Due to the pandemic, swimmers are only competing against the clock this year. Then the times are compared, usually with the other teams competing on different days in their own pools. Cape Elizabeth boys swam first, followed by the girls in order to follow indoor gathering numbers. Brianna Soukup/Staff Photographer
