Audrey Wallace Quotations

We're looking to raise money through them to get us two new synthetic turf playing surfaces. So when we make it to the playoffs, we're not going to have home field advantage, and we never have had it.

It certainly is bittersweet for me. I am a Spring-Ford graduate and you always want to see your alma matter win. But it is always good to give Spring-Ford a victory.

Every single thing happens for a reason. I truly believe that.

A lot of the girls don't really want to talk about it ... but the shooting was kind of the impetus behind the whole thing. They already had track and field and baseball and softball, but adding lacrosse adds potentially 40 to 50 more girls and 40 to 50 more boys to give them something to do after school.

The youth program has kids coming in from all other areas of San Diego. So the girls that are coming in, we're teaching them how to play lacrosse and then they go off and play for another high school and they smoke us on the field. And it's proof in the pudding that what we're doing is right, because we're spreading the good word of the game, we're spreading the good word of the sport, and the heritage of the sport.

It's a much different game here. It's a faster-paced game, the checking is rougher, the stick skills that these girls have - they hardly drop any passes.

I want the best apparel, I want the best field playing surface, I want the best coaches. I just want the best for these kids, as I would for my own child.

I met him in October, and he said he would lend his name to our lacrosse classic. This significant man lent me his name for my lacrosse classic, so I really want to make something of it.

I have three girls who have been playing together for four years. The rest have played for one or two years. Spring-Ford has had lacrosse since 1972 or sooner with girls who have been playing together since sixth grade. That's the difference.
