Alumni Face Off in 4th Annual Lacrosse Game
Alumni Face Off in 4th Annual Lacrosse Game
Posted April 10, 2026
San Antonio Academy hosted its 4th Annual Alumni Lacrosse Game on Thursday, April 9, bringing together former Wildcats for an evening of spirited competition and connection. Alumni returned to campus, with about a dozen taking the field alongside members of the current 7th/8th-grade lacrosse team.
From the opening face-off, the blue and white teams delivered a fast-paced and spirited matchup, blending friendly competition with plenty of memorable moments. The blue team ultimately claimed the 15-12 win, but the true highlight was the shared experience of alumni and current students competing side by side, cheering one another on, and enjoying the game they love.
Organized in part by Alumni Association Board President Reeves Craig ’97, the event remains a meaningful touchpoint for The Academy community. It offers alumni the chance to reconnect and relive their time on campus, while also building relationships with the school’s oldest students as they prepare to join the ranks of the alumni brotherhood.

San Antonio Academy opened the 2026-27 school year with The Wildcat Way: Building Our Foundation, a two-day experience designed to give Elementary and Middle School students a shared understanding of what it means to be an Academy Boy. Students explored the traditions, values, and expectations that shape daily life at SAA, including The Academy Motto and Pillars, chapel, lunchroom etiquette, uniforms, technology use, and classroom routines. Reflection and conversation gave the boys space to consider something deeper: not simply what is expected of them, but why those expectations matter.
