The Annual Texas Longhorn Lacrosse Youth& High School is this weekend, Dec. 6th & 7th, 2025. Free to attend (Location UT Intramural Fields 51st and Guadalupe)

Pert Temple Causey; The annual Longhorn Shootout is this coming weekend. For those unfamiliar, this is a youth tournament (peewee through high school) that is sponsored and managed by the University of Texas Lacrosse Team. This event was the brainchild of the legendary Dave Alter back in 2003 and has been around every year since with the exception of 2021 and 2022 when the country was locked down during the Covid 19 pandemic. Funds raised from the effort (primarily from entry fees paid by participating teams) are used to support the cost of the upcoming season. There are some 75 teams who will attend. Net revenue will exceed $50,000. This effort is critical to the affordability of playing lacrosse at UT.

Volunteers are welcome. Spectators are welcome. Alumni are welcome. The location is Whittaker or Intramural fields on 51st and Guadalupe. If you are planning to volunteer (usually something to do with cooking food), details are available from Tim Herfel. You may respond to this email and Tim will have eyes on and get back to you.

Note that there are several alumni who coach youth teams and will be present at this tournament. People paying it forward in building the next generation of lacrosse players.

Victory Slips Away at Home as Texas Horns Lose to Boston College 14-13 in Double Overtime

Victory Slips Away at Home as Texas Falls to Boston College, 14–13 in Double Overtime Scan this below QR Code to your phone, ipad, etc to make a direct $$ Donation to the University of Texas Men's Club Lacrosse Team ---Thanks and Hook' Em! George Vance McGee, Alumni Reporter – In-Person Viewer georgevance@gmail.com February 13, 2026 There’s nothing like a Friday night at Caven Field, and as a proud Texas Lacrosse alumni, I was happy to be there in person, on a balmy early spring ATX weather night. Unfortunately, this game ended in heartbreak as our Horns lost to the visiting Boston College Eagles Club Team in double overtime, 14–13. Yes = Double Overtimes. A Sluggish Start — On and Off the Field The Horns started a little sluggish, but once they found their rhythm, they really got going. The scoreboard, however, never quite did. After three or four attempts to revive the malfunctioning Caven Field scoreboard, it officially got fired. From that point on, the on-field referees ...

The Scrimmage that Felt & Lived like a Game. Texas Longhorns emerge Victorious 10-8 over the Div. 3 Southwestern Pirates

Cold Night, Hot Lacrosse Action. January 30th 2026. On a chilly cold winter night, The Texas Men's Lacrosse team began their 2026 Spring season with a Scrimmage vs the Div. 3 Level Southwestern Pirates from Georgetown, TX. It was an abundant crowd, that was well-bundled up and coated for a cold evening. Those of us fans whom did show up in person, were gifted an intense match of legit dual-team effort, timely coach strategized time-outs and impressive lacrosse gameplay action. The game in general was refereed fairly, as both teams were able to play aggressively and yellow flag penalties were only thrown when warranted. Some basic insights I gathered from Southwestern parents and alumni in the crowd. Southwestern is a small 1,200+/- person Methodist religion based, liberal arts college, with yearly tuition at an astronomical $60,000 per year. A Southwestern parent with a son playing on the Division 3 Level team informed me their active players usually get roughly ...

A Bonanza of Central Texas Youth Lacrosse; the Texas Longhorns Hosted Weekend Tournament. Dec. 6th & 7th, 2025

--Written By Alumni Texas Lacrosse Reporter; George Vance McGee (Austin Silent Market Real Estate Broker Associate 512.657.9281 georgevance@gmail.com) After I acquired a legal & rare parking spot in the North Loop neighborhood in the morning, I took an easy stroll over to EPOCH for a smooth and calm morning drip coffee awakening. Post caffeination, it was now time for my Texas Longhorn Lax Shootout baptismal experience. Surprisingly, this was my 1st ever in-person Longhorn Youth Tournament Weekend Experience. Simply put; There's a lot going on! The Texas Intramural Fields circa 51 & Guadalupe street are looking pristine, upgraded, green, well-kept and ready for action. I witnessed a festival of lacrosse! Every field in sight my eyes could advance and venture to was brimming with Active Youth or High Lacrosse players, coaches, parents, volunteers, friends or family. I'd guesstimate there's roughly 2 thousand + physical humans in attendance at all times on site. Sat...
