The Palisades High boys and girls lacrosse teams won City titles on the same day last year and now they are poised to do it again.
The boys routed University 16-2 on Friday and the girls handed the Wildcats a 21-2 thrashing Saturday to advance to Tuesday’s finals at Birmingham High in Lake Balboa. Both were seeded No. 1 and took on No. 2 El Camino Real for the title.
The boys were vying for an eighth straight section crown and ninth in 11 years (there were no playoffs in 2020 due to COVID) while the girls were seeking their second straight and third overall. Last spring, the boys took care of El Camino Real 19-2 after the girls doubled up their nemesis Birmingham 18-9 in a doubleheader at Stadium by the Sea. The girls won their initial City title in 2019, ending Birmingham’s five-year reign.
