Thursday night marked a milestone for Guerin Catholic High School’s girls lacrosse head coach Brian Billand. With a 19-3 win over North Central High School, Billand secured his 100th victory.
Billand and assistant coach Lee Ann Lankton were on the coaching staff that brought girls lacrosse to Guerin Catholic in 2008 and have been committed to the program ever since. Billand became head coach in 2010, naming Lankton as his varsity assistant coach at that time.
