"We're thrilled with the team participation for this year's event.  This level of play really highlights Texas as a top lacrosse venue,€ said Tom Fitzsimmons, president of the North Texas Chapter of U.S. Lacrosse and the Patriot Cup committee chair.  "No sport has grown faster at the high school and college levels over the last five years.€ The 2009 Patriot Cup will showcase some of the nation's premier collegiate and high school programs. Four Division I teams - Notre Dame vs. University of Vermont and U.S. Air Force Academy vs. Bucknell - will play on Saturday, March 21.  Local high school teams St. Mark's School of Texas, Episcopal School of Dallas and Highland Park High School will serve as event hosts and also compete at Ford Stadium on March 20 - 21.  The local schools will take on the top-ranked lacrosse teams from St Mary's School from Annapolis, Maryland; as well as Ft.
