Congratulations to the Westwood High School Girls' Lacrosse team! They defeated the Franklin Panthers in the Division 1 State Championship on Thursday, July 1, 2021 on the Panther's home field.

Leading up to the state championship, the Westwood Wolverines were the undefeated Division 1 South leader and the Franklin Panthers were leaders of Division 1 East.

Franklin was looking to claim its first state championship ever, but a goal by Westwood in the last twenty seconds pulled the rug out from under them in a heartbreaking loss for the Panthers and a joyous victory for the Wolverines.
