Washington, D.C. — The Washington Bayhawks and DigitalSports.com are proud to jointly announce a new partnership that will help further promote the game of lacrosse across the Washington, D.C. Metro area according to DigitalSports General Manager Rich Toland and Bayhawks Director of Business Development Andrew Sclama.
The ninth season of Major League Lacrosse (MLL) promises to be an exciting one as the Bayhawks, in their third season in the nation’s capital, are ready to take flight in their new home stadium: Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, MD.
And DigitalSports — the region’s top source for local and high school sports coverage — will be there to capture the experience with game results, news stories, photos and video highlights.
“This is an exciting partnership for DigitalSports,” said Rich Toland, General Manager of the DigitalSports D.C. Metro team. “The area’s youth and high school lacrosse communities have been so supportive of DigitalSports.com in recent years, and we’re thrilled to be able to follow so many of those area athletes as they extend their playing careers with the Washington Bayhawks.”
“DigitalSports is the best place to find all of your local and high school sports coverage, and we are thrilled to be working so closely with them this season,” said Andrew Sclama, Director of Business Development for the Washington Bayhawks. “Our team is made up of many great players that call the Mid-Atlantic region home, and I know they are all excited about playing in front of the fans that followed them in high school and college.”
The Bayhawks 40-Man Roster boasts 28 players who grew up across Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia, and 32 players who currently live in the Mid-Atlantic region. Included in those players are local stars Andrew “Buggs” Combs (attack) and Chris Garrity (goalie). Combs graduated from St. Paul’s School in Baltimore and led the Bayhawks in goals during the 2008 season. Garrity has won MLL Goalie of the Year honors (2005), he is a four-time MLL All-Star, and he graduated from St. Mary’s High School in Annapolis, MD.
“Playing in Annapolis gives us a very central location for our entire fan base to come to our games,” Sclama stated. “Lacrosse fans in this region love following their high school teams, and we know they are going to love following their old teammates and friends at the professional level this year.”
