Fallston's girls' lacrosse team aced a two-part midterm exam last week with victories over previously undefeated John Carroll and Joppatowne.Those wins boosted the Cougars' record to 7-0, and gave them a leg up on the final exam -- winning the county title and earning one of the top two spots for the state playoffs.Friday's 13-8 win at Joppatowne (5-1) could be the game that endsup deciding the county championship. All this is familiar to both teams --Fallston went undefeated last year to win the county title while the Mariners finished second.
