The Bucs were right where they wanted to be at the halftime break.
After falling behind quickly in the first quarter, including four straight goals from Caesar Rodney High in the first few minutes and a 6-2 deficit heading into the second quarter, Milford High fought back and stayed in the game.
The Bucs outscored Henlopen Conference Northern Division boys lacrosse foe Caesar Rodney, 3-2, in the second quarter and trailed just 8-5 at the break.
Unfortunately, the Riders’ offensive attack proved too much in the second half as Caesar Rodney pulled away with the 17-8 division win Thursday, May 6. The loss dropped the Bucs to 3-10, while improving CR’s record to 8-4 and snapping a three-game losing streak.
