3.

We said before, if we lose, this season is a failure.’’ That’s tough, but understandable when you’re talking Duxbury lacrosse. The Green Dragons won their ninth title with a 10-8 win over Needham. Sam scored three goals, and the talented roster of future college stars did their jobs. And even with the graduation losses, guess who’s ‘‘expected’’ to win next spring?
