Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:  

1. The NLL is revealing the Fort Worth franchise name today.

The league teased the announcement yesterday on Twitter. The Fort Worth franchise will be the league's 14th and will start play in the 2021-22 season.

2. Dan Bucaro is healthy and not letting his past injuries define him.

Bucaro, the former Georgetown star and current Denver Outlaws attackman, tore his ACL during his junior season with the Hoyas. He also played through a torn meniscus last season. This summer with the Outlaws, he showed what he was capable of when he’s 100 percent.

Check out his story.

3. SAY-LAX in Saugerties (N.Y.) is continuing to grow even after the passing of its founder, Bob Slate.

Slate started the program in the early 2000s and built it into a success by the time he stepped away in 2017. After he passed following a battle with cancer, the community has stepped up to revitalize the program.

Read the inspiring story.
