In a rebuilding year for the James River Varsity Lacrosse team, the Rapids were honored with seven players making the VHSL Western Valley All-District team. With first-year coach Rob Helsley leading the program the Rapids struggled early in the season to find their form. Teamwork brought the players together to finish strong, beating Mills Godwin in the season finale to make the district playoffs.
The Western Valley District was formed to accommodate new lacrosse membership to the VHSL by Douglas Freeman, Mills Godwin, Deep Run, Patrick Henry Roanoke and earlier member James River high schools. The following players were recognized for making the All-District team;
Nick Lingon(senior)-1st team attack
English Snidow(junior)-1st team middie
Logan Wells(junior)-2nd team middie
Luke Maguire(junior)-2nd team defense
Colton Olszewski (senior)-honorable mention defense
Anthony Casserta(sophomore)-honorable mention defense
