Agoura finishes second at state club lacrosse finals

Agoura Lacrosse finished its season with a record of 13-2 and was rated No. 1 for Southern California club lacrosse teams for 2008.

As a result of its top SoCal rating, Agoura was invited to the High School Lacrosse State Championships in Novato during Memorial Day weekend.

In the semifinal game on Saturday, Agoura beat the Petaluma Lacrosse Club, 9-7. Agoura was led by seniors Mike Cammorata, Chris Hogg and defenseman Stephen Cordial.

Agoura advanced to the championship game and was beaten by San Rafael's Red Hawks Lacrosse Club from the Bay Area, 12-6.

According to Cammorata, a Southern California Lacrosse Association All-American senior midfielder who's committed to play at the University of Arizona in the fall, the Red Hawks were big, aggressive and deserved to win.

"Yet with all the great players on the Agoura team, I'm convinced the state championship will belong to Agoura next year," Cammorata said.
