After the 12U match and with key defense players missing, the Delta Breeze 14U boys team lost a tough match to the Phantoms 14U team.

While the boys 12U and 14U teams were battling it out against Livermore, the Delta Breeze boys JV team was enjoying great lacrosse play at Heritage High School with JV teams visiting from Chico and Elk Grove.

Lind, Evan Lopez, Garner Plumlee (with 2 goals), Luke Geis, Harrison Johns, and Shane Hamilton.

On Sunday, April 16, outstanding goal keeping from Caden Kyle and defense from Alexander Bentancourt, Callahan Veach, James Lord, Jett Apodaca, and Ryder Mayorga, gave Asher Bosco the opportunity to score 3, Eden Bosco 2, Noah Shappet 6, and 1 goal each from Callahan Veach, Devin Pryor, and Jax Apodaca in their 14-5 win over the Oakland Lacrosse club in the boys 12U match.

After the boys 12U match, the Delta Breeze 14U boys team had an exciting 9-2 win against the Oakland Lacrosse club with outstanding goal keeping from Caden Kyle and outstanding defense from Basir AllahSelvin, Easton Quiles, and London Webb-
