The Longwood Lions girls lacrosse team gave out some special end of the year awards and their star players were able to take home these prominent honors before graduation.

Hailey Greene led the way by receiving the White Letter Award for the 2025 Spring Season. Greene is now heading into her senior year with the Lions but as an underclassman she was described by the school saying Greene "contributed significantly to the success of the team as our goalie throughout the season."

Graduating Senior Olivia Kaelin won the Bulldog Award for the Spring Season. Kaelin was the team's Draw Specialist and Lead Midfielder. The school described her efforts "Her willingness to battle it out on the circle and between the 30s ultimately proved to be the reason for one of LVGL’s most successful seasons ever." 

The final award came as a shock to no one who has followed the Lions this season when senior Ava Franco was named as the 2025 Spring season Longwood Varsity Lacrosse MVP. Franco is generally considered one of the best players in Suffolk County and this is now the second year in a row that she has taken home the team MVP award. 

The girls finished the season with a 10-8 overall record and 8-7 in league play.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
