The school finally caved and gave us Collins Field for our final games. This victory belongs to the 362 of you who refused to let them shove our athletes onto that freshman field anymore. We proved that Stoughton Lacrosse demands respect and we are going to make sure they never …

Final supporters
We are asking for your support to have Stoughton Lacrosse play their final home game of the season (also Senior Night) on Collins Field.
Stoughton has had a high school lacrosse team since 2002. The program has grown in leaps and bounds over the last 5 seasons after being officially acknowledged by the school in 2012.
Today we have 41 players for Varsity/JV. We practice and play on the freshman football field on the south side of the school.
We are very grateful to be recognized and supported by the school. Lacrosse is the fastest growing sport in the midwest, and each season we watch as we “fill the hill” with more lacrosse fans. Our Varsity team has won back-to-back Conference championships in 2014 and 2015 and are two-time runners up for State.
We are once again fielding a strong and promising team, with the goal of making it to State in 2016.
We hereby petition Stoughton High School to:
- Allow the final home Varsity and JV games on Tuesday, May 24 to be played on Collins Field.
- Allow after-season play-off home games to be played on Collins field
Rationale:
- Will have lights and scoreboard available
- School will be able to sell concessions
- Will attract more fans
- Will build morale and excitement for the game
- Will provide a strong image of Stoughton to visiting teams
Justification:
- Stoughton Lacrosse Club agrees to donate the paint to line the field for this venture.
- Lacrosse uses the same cleats as football and soccer
- The field will recover in the same manner as it does for football and soccer.
- Practices will remain at the current field
- Will not conflict with other sports
We ask you to sign this petition in support of Stoughton High School Lacrosse no later than Tuesday, May 17. Thank you!

The school administration can no longer ignore this groundswell of support for our players. This momentum proves that the people of this town demand our team gets the respect they deserve on Collins Field.

I think 2-3 games on Collins Field would help grow the sport in Stoughton. In addition, the boys have earned the chance to play there with back to back state championship games.
I have to admit I was surprised that they don't play on the school field. My son explained that the soccer games were played there. So there's no way to alternate? Lacrosse is my son's life! I'd like to see him play his school field next year as well. Thank you for doing this petition!
My brother was one of the founding members who started the lacrosse team at SHS. The school should allot lacrosse the same rights as their other team sports.
This would be amazing. Not only for the seniors, but for the program as a whole. Sure, it'd only be senior night and playoff games, but that only shows more growth. It will give the kids in youth motivation to keep playing knowing they'll one day get to play on Collins Field! It will only lead to more youth kids signing up, and a stronger program down the road. I have my fingers crossed Mel and the school board approve this! Good luck!
I always had the chance to play on Collins field for football so I know first hand how nice it is. It would be perfect for a few lax games and a great send off for the seniors!
Yes!!! Please let lacrosse V. & JV. Teams play last game on the field. Thank you.
Dooooooo it! Let them plaaaaayyyyyyy!

Lacrosse is a growing sport and very successful sport for Stoughton. It would be great if the kids can play on Collins field to show they are appreciated. Plus recognition on the gym wall for going to state and conference championships would also help with school pride.
