Klein High School from Houston remains the only school to own an Allstate Sugar Bowl Lacrosse Classic title, as it defeated C.E. Byrd High School from Shreveport, 8-4, on Sunday to win its third championship in the three-year history of the event.

Klein finished with a perfect 5-0 record in the two-day event, outscoring its opponents, 47-6. Byrd, which took runner-up honors for the second straight season, gave Klein all it could handle in the final. After Klein jumped to a 4-1 advantage, the Shreveport-based squad battled back to close within 4-3, but then Klein scored three unanswered goals to wrap up the title.

In junior varsity action, Ithaca, which traveled from New York for the event, completed a perfect 5-0 weekend with a 5-3 championship-game victory over New Orleans Jesuit. Ithaca had downed New Orleans Jesuit, 12-7, in an early morning match-up to advance to the title game. New Orleans Jesuit advanced based on goals scored, breaking a tie with Caddo Magnet and C.E. Byrd.
