The Smithson Valley High School Boys Lacrosse Club represents Smithson Valley High School, Pieper High School, and surrounding private school in the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL). Our governing board is actively searching for qualified candidates for the position of Varsity Head Coach/Program Director.

About Smithson Valley LAX: The Smithson Valley Lacrosse program was officially established in 2009 after some boys from the Smithson Valley area joined with kids from San Antonio to play with the team, under the direction of Dr. Keith Markey, playing for the north side of San Antonio at Concordia Lutheran. The following year boys from Smithson Valley were the majority of the boys playing the game. That year we had 28 boys; 5 from San Antonio and the rest from Smithson Valley causing the sport to catch on. Kelly Evers, an 8th grade history teacher at SVMS and a former player for Cornell Lacrosse, was the first to accept the position of head coach of the Smithson Valley middle school level team. In 2011, we grew into a full program, opening it up to kids from kindergarten to 12th grade to play on our club teams. In fall of 2010 we joined CTYLA (Central Texas Youth Lacrosse Association) for the 2011 season and with the guidance of a fantastic board and support system in CTYLA, we were a huge success. In the 2011 season we had 85 participants in the program, a mix of boys and girls however only played as boy's teams due to a lack of girls in order to form and independent girl's league. This was also our first year to enter THSLL as a D2 high school program. We did well and went to the first round of district playoffs, only to be defeated by St. Mary's Hall. After a very successful season in 2012, once again we made it to the second round of district playoffs to be defeated by St Mary's Hall. In 2019 we were runner up in the D2 State Championship game and have been a competitive force with the Austin area teams with deep runs into the post season. In 2024 we added both youth and high school girls lacrosse to our organization as we continue to support the growth of the sport. Today out program consists of 120 boys and girls representing our schools and community in the Bulverde/Spring Branch area

THSLL South All Star Games

Sunday 5/19/24 Hosted by St. Pius X

St. Thomas High School is the winner of the 2024 Bob Patterson Award. The Patterson Award is a award that is chosen by the four LOA presidents - Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio.  The Patterson Award is awarded to one high school lacrosse program each year. The award is in honor of Bob Patterson, former President and Chief Referee of the Lacrosse Official’s Association. Each year, the LOA membership selects a men’s high school program for their sportsmanship, quality of play, respect for the game’s character, and the honor that they bring to the sport.

The trophy will be awarded during THSLL Championship Weekend on May 11-12. 

The Texas Lacrosse Officials Association officials voted to award its annual “Sam Chambers Award for Sportsmanship and Coaching Excellence” to both Mike Donnelly (Episcopal) and Nick Ignatiev (Bellaire). As in 2019, the award is being conferred upon two winners since the support for both coaches was very strong.  The decision to declare two winners of award was the preferred outcome, as was done in 2019.  The testimonials in favor of each coach were just awesome to hear.  Both coaches have been magnificent supporters of lacrosse in Houston, and both coaches are terrific role models for good sportsmanship.
