Cave Spring (Va.) senior Chris Weston etched his name into the record books in his team’s win over William Fleming (Va.) on March 17. Weston entered second place on the national game all-time points list with a 19 point game.

Weston scored 12 goals and added seven assists in his team’s 30-goal outburst. The 12 goals ties for the 2016 season lead.

Weston is committed to the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Va.

What I Do
LaxRecords.com aims to compile the best known records in high school lacrosse. Among the lists are the most career wins by a high school lacrosse coach. Also included are most career points, goals, assists and saves by a high school lacrosse player. Team performances for most state sanctioned championships and consecutive wins are also tracked.
Some records are known to be incomplete. I solicit help from the lacrosse community to fill the missing gaps. If there is a performance or player missing, please email me at mloveday@laxrecords.com or send me a Tweet at @LaxRecords.
