One goal from another final.

Four wins by a combined margin, then a single goal the other way. That is the honest version of 2026, and it is the version this site will keep publishing — results the week they happen, not a page that stops in 2022.

News entries, weekly results and a season archive publish to this section during the season. This concept shows structure, not fabricated headlines.

New to the area

For families who have not moved yet

Where the school sits

Middle Creek High School serves the southern Wake County area around Apex and Cary, North Carolina. It plays NCHSAA lacrosse in the SWAC conference.

Attendance is set by Wake County's assignment zones, so check the address you are considering against the county's current base assignment before you sign anything.

When things happen

High school lacrosse in North Carolina is a spring sport, with off-season work through the autumn and winter.

Tryout dates, off-season workout times and the parent meeting for the coming season are confirmed by the program and published here and on Instagram. Dates in this concept are deliberately left blank rather than invented.

Introduce yourself early

You do not need a local address to make contact. Send your son's graduation year, position and current school, and roughly when you expect to arrive.

Coach Holota can then plan around a player who is coming, rather than meeting him for the first time at tryouts.

Join the program

On this site — no third-party form

This concept's form does not submit anywhere. On the live site it posts to the program's own inbox — no Google Form, no third party.

What happens after you send it.

Your details go straight to the head coach. If you ticked the relocation box, your family is filed under the arrival year you gave, so the program knows a player is coming before he arrives.

There is no fee, no obligation and no requirement to live here yet.
