Area high school teams resumed their spring schedules this week after most area schools were out for spring break last week.
The Aspen High School boys lacrosse team, which took a trip to Florida over the break, will host Thompson Valley from Loveland in a 3 p.m. game today at Aspen High School.
The Skiers improved to 7-1 overall over spring break with a 19-8 win over Burroughs High School from St. Louis in a game played at Disney World in Florida. The Skiers also had the chance to scrimmage against a number of schools from New York and New Jersey during their stay in Florida.
The Aspen boys will take on 5-2 Thompson Valley in a nonconference matchup.
Thompson Valley is coming off a 14-11 loss at Steamboat Springs last weekend.
