#GrowTheGame: High school lacrosse player leads equipment drive.
A local lacrosse player is using the sport that gave him so much to give back to the community.
Friends and family of Logan Janik came together Sunday, Dec. 15, to help celebrate his life and legacy after he died in a tragic boating accident in May. The first Logan Janik Memorial Open Tournament was held at the Shipyard Park in Mount Pleasant. Nearly 200 lacrosse players from around the country came out to participate in the day long event.
Great message from the Thunderbirds.
