Spanish River High School in Boca Raton is less than 17 miles from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.
There are many connections between the schools, both on the athletic fields and off.

After last week’s tragedy in which a former Stoneman Douglas student shot and killed 17 people at the school and injured many more, the Sharks’ boys varsity lacrosse team is stepping up to help its neighbors.
The team approached coach John Trama and proposed a way to help the Douglas families affected by the tragedy.
They decided that selling #StonemanStrong T-shirts was the best way to accomplish that.
“I am so proud of these young men,” Trama said. “Their immediate thoughts were, ‘what can we do to help?”
