“I play for the friendship. The bonds you create with people are far more important than the games,” Grace Luedtke, senior, said. Luedtke plays on the varsity lacrosse team at Homestead. The season is just beginning, with practices from 7-9 on weeknights. Luedtke reveals that her routine is thrown off by the season starting back up, but she is excited. She includes mac’n’cheese into her pregame routine to ensure success. She includes Shayna Braunstein and Culver’s into her post-game routine to ensure joy. “I am so excited for the new friends I will make!”
