On Friday, March 6, during a ceremony held at City Hall, three Vestavia Hill High School seniors committed to play lacrosse at Birmingham-Southern College, home to the state of Alabama’s first college lacrosse program, which started in 2009. They will play under Coach Casey Kear.
Alex Bates, Joe Delozier and Peyton Taylor have all played for the Vestavia lacrosse program, which finished second in the 2014 state playoffs. Bates is a goalie, Delozier plays defense and Taylor is an attack man. Coach Randy Nace has led the Vestavia team for the last two years, after previously serving as head coach of the University of Alabama men’s lacrosse program.
“We are very proud of these young men and the Vestavia lacrosse program,” said Mayor Butch Zaragoza during the ceremony.
