 BOYS LACROSSE RECAP
  VARSITY LACROSSE
At the beginning of the season, the lacrosse coaches spoke of the Native Americans from whom the game of lacrosse originated and spoke of the “Creators Game.” The game was used to heal the sick and solve disputes among clans. The Creator looked upon those who play as strong warriors. A quote we spoke of was from an Onondaga elder who said, “We have lost a lot of games but we have never been beaten.” This season reflected some of that sentiment, we did lose a lot of games but the team fought and were never beaten. We played hard for 48 minutes each game, we represented
our families and school well. Coach Sipperly said this was one of my favorite groups to coach, we all love each other no matter of grade or position. We played for each other. Hopefully everyone can come out of the season loving lacrosse for what it is, the game the “Creator” has given us to test our strength, courage, endurance, skill, toughness, teamwork and, most importantly, for the opportunity to play this wonderful game.
JUNIOR VARSITY LACROSSE
The 2022 JV Lacrosse season was one marked by growth. Led by first-year goalie, Landon Lashley, the boys were asked to play positions they have never played before. This resulted in a better understanding of the overall game. With our limited roster size it would be understandable for the team to waiver late in games, especially at the end of the season. However, the boys bonded over the challenge and continued to out-work opponents. The coaches are extremely proud of their development as players and as a team.
MIDDLE SCHOOL LACROSSE
The Hawks concluded the 2022 season with a 7-4 record, including thrilling back-to- back one-goal victories over #1 seed Charlotte Country Day School (7 - 6) and #2 seed Providence Day School (10 - 9) on their way to winning the postseason conference tour- nament. The expectations for this group were high, as they were the returning confer- ence champions. While there were a number of challenges and some difficult stretches
