It was a double-whammy for two Yorktown Patriots lacrosse teams in the championship games of the 6D North Region tournaments. Both lost at different venues in Thursday-night (May 29) action. The host boys were routed by the Langley Saxons, 15-6, and the girls lost on the road in Vienna to the Madison Warhawks, 12-8. Both Yorktown teams fell behind early and never caught up. The results were a bit of a surprise because the Yorktown squads defeated each opponent this season in earlier contests.
