Coach Wiles has put all of our box players through an extremely challenging first few weeks, pushing each and every player to work on their individual game and stick skills, as well as changing their understanding of what it is to constantly play hard. After the initial wake-up call, we could not be happier with how all of the players responded to the challenge from Coach Wiles and the rest of the staff. 

High School Playday

Our High School Players learned a lot after being thrown into the deep end against some of the best box lacrosse teams from around the region, and the country! After only two practices the teams took the floor and held their own against teams that have been practicing together for months. Liam Ray impressed as a newcomer in the Box Goal, while Zach LaPerriere was strong on defense, and Aidan McLane sparked the offense for the Varsity team. JV Black had a number of strong offensive performances, led by Ford Collins, Liam Schwartz, and Will Madden. JV Red's offensive efforts were quarterbacked by the crafty play of Cliff Chapman, and the all-over hustle and physical play of Brendan Laffey.

8th Grade Playday

Things really started to come together for our 8th grade group during their playday with O2. The team ran the floor with efficiency and attacked the goal during transition. The team also displayed an impressive ability to apply defensive pressure throughout the length of the floor, which only created more opportunities to score goals in transition.  The strong two-way play of Jack O'Brien and Blake Richards led the way for the team.
