Radnor High will host a special benefit lacrosse tournament tonight involving players from four of the top boys’ teams in the Philly region, including Conestoga, Haverford School, Malvern Prep and the host Red Raiders.

The “4 School Lax Mix” will begin at 6 p.m. with games on two turf fields. The second set of games will be held at 7:30.

Admission for the fundraiser is $5. Donation boxes also will be provided.

All proceeds from the event will benefit to Benefit NTAF Mid-Atlantic Traumatic Brain Injuries in honor of Logan Schweiter. Logan, 12, a Conestoga Youth Lacrosse (CYL) player, is rehabilitating from an serious accident July 25 when he was caught under water in a flooded creek.

The four teams will be split up evenly to create eight teams (four varsity, four JV) of about 22 players each. Games will be played on both turf fields – with four games being played in all.

The Varsity and JV Navy and Red Teams will play at 6:00 and the Green And Carolina Blue Teams will play at 7:30. Varsity games
