Glenelg boys lacrosse closes undefeated Howard County season with 16-4 win over Oakland Mills

Glenelg boys lacrosse has a simple motto which is written on the back of its shooting shirts in big white letters: “Be the best.”

Coach Josh Hatmaker first instituted that mantra when he took over the program 21 years ago and it’s been the consistent message ever since. He picked it up from former University of Maryland men’s lacrosse coach and Glenelg native Dick Edell, who passed away six years ago Thursday.

The Gladiators’ coaches hold themselves to a high standard and expect the same in return from their players.
