At the end of every season, high school sports teams say goodbye to their seniors as they graduate and they decide where they will be taking their talents.

West Boca High School’s boy’s lacrosse team had their last home game against Palm Beach Central under torrential rain. Although the weather conditions were not favorable, the West Boca Bulls came out on top with a 17 to 10 win.

But with so much of their team leaving, senior night had a lot of student athletes to recognize for their dedication and impact on the team.

Seventeen seniors in total were recognized on senior night.
