Billerica Brings Creators Crosse Trophy Home
By Josh Perry
LEXINGTON - This is the first year that No. 10 Billerica has taken part in the third annual Creators Crosse Tournament, but the town’s influence has been felt right from the beginning. The tournament’s wooden stick trophy was created by Rick Ortolani, whose son John was a midfielder and face-off specialist for the Indians and currently plays for the Rochester Rattlers in Major League Lacrosse.
