Hendricken halftime memorial service rescheduled

WARWICK -- A memorial service scheduled for tonight during half-time at a lacrosse match at Bishop Hendricken High School for Marine Lance Cpl. Eric Valdepenas has been postponed due to weather.

Valdepenas, 21, a 2003 graduate of Hendricken from Seekonk, Mass., died in Iraq last September. He was co-captain of the Hawks’ lacrosse team and an all-state lacrosse player.

The game is now scheduled for Sunday at 6 p.m. and the ceremony in Valdepenas's honor will be made at 6:45 p.m. Coach Kevin Murray will present the Valdepenas family with the Marine’s No. 25 lacrosse jersey.

The Hendricken lacrosse team was originally scheduled to play a regular season match against North Kingstown tonight. Sunday’s match will be an inter-squad match between Hendricken teams.
