Rhys MacDonald actually became the first Penticton minor lacrosse player to make all Team BC squads for both field and box lacrosse this year.
He will be going to Baltimore, Md., later this year as a member of the undefeated Team BC U15 national champion team.
MacDonald will also be joining Penticton’s Beau Chetner and Aidan Danby to play in the Canadian nationals in Whitby, Ont. at the end of August in the Team BC U18 field tournament.
As well, he will be a member of the Team BC midget box squad that will play in the Canadian nationals in the middle of August.
