As a Special Olympics volunteer for track and field events, Neshaminy senior Tristan Emig has learned to appreciate the gifts each of us possess.
“When you volunteer for Special Olympics they put you wherever they need you,” said Emig, the Phillylacrosse.com/Laxzilla Male Scholar-Athlete of the Week. “I have helped out in the long jump and the 100-meter dash. It’s really nice because the athletes love it more than you could ever imagine.
“Sometimes when we go out to practice and play our games, we take it for granted. When you see kids just love being there, it’s uplifting.”
Emig, a four-year starter on defense for the Redskins, has shown a passion for many activities in his career at Neshaminy. He is the Senior Class President and also served as President of his class as a sophomore.
Emig has played varsity soccer and basketball and is equally successful in the classroom. He sports a 4.15 GPA and takes AP or Honors classes in Psychology, English, Physics and Calculus. His career interests include engineering and architecture and he is considering Pittsburgh and Philadelphia University as his college choices.

4/18/09 – Haverford School claims 9-5 win over Downingtown East in ‘Checking for Cancer’ Invitational

Phillylacrosse.com, Posted 4/18/09
The Haverford School players had a message for their coach, John Nostrant, today at the inaugural Nike “Checking for Cancer” Lacrosse Invitational:
“This one’s for you, coach.”
It was the least the Fords could do to honor Nostrant for battling prostate cancer and creating the invitational that brought eight national caliber programs to Haverford.
Nostrant, 45, was diagnosed with prostate cancer 14 months ago and is now considered cancer free. But his close friend from their playing days at Washington College, Georgetown Prep coach Kevin Giblin, continues to battle Stage 3 colon cancer. Georgetown was one of the participants today, claiming an easy 13-1 win over Duxbury (Mass.).

4/18/17 – Penn Charter tops @Fords_Lacrosse for first time since 2003 (28 losses)
Phillylacrosse.com, Posted 4/18/17
Staff Report
The last time Penn Charter defeated Haverford School, Gavin Tygh was a year old and the Fords were to embark on a stretch of being a dominant force in the Inter-Ac League with 10 titles in 13 years.
That last Quaker win over the Fords had occurred on April 29, 2003, a 17-4 win, and 28 games ago for the Penn Charter-Haverford School series.
But today at Haverford, Penn Charter shed years of frustration and defeated the Fords, 9-7, as Tygh won 13 of 19 faceoffs, Carson Marano made 16 saves and Nick DiCicco and Ryan Dickson each scored three goals.
