Boys lacrosse just finished a very successful spring season.
The boys ended their season with a 6-10 record, which is one game better than last year’s record.
“This season has been the best at Law, needing one more win to make it to the state playoffs.” senior captain Tyler Cavallaro said
The Lawmen had a very young team this year and are looking forward to getting better every year.
The team’s three senior captains were Logan Danville, David Patrick, and Tyler Cavallaro.
Cavallaro was the leading scorer on the boys team with 35 goals. Patrick was the second leading scorer with 33 goals.
Danville had the most ground balls this season with 97.
Patrick showed his leadership on and off the field all season by never giving up and getting the team amped up before every game.
Mike Forget is the coach of the boys team and is in his fifth year coaching the Lawmen. He came from Bunnell where he was an assistant lacrosse coach.
Key players on the team this year were Patrick, Danville, Cavallaro, sophomore Jake Bombace, and sophomore Jimmy Boyle.
Some difficult opponents the boys faced are Cheshire, Notre Dame-West Haven, Foran, and Shelton.
The game against Foran was a battle. It was a high intensity game and the boys kept up. It was a close game but the boys came up short, losing by three.
“We had our closest Foran game this season and will continue to work hard and not give up so we can beat our cross-town rivals,” Boyle said.
The team is excited for all of its young talent to come back next season.
“The sophomore class is very strong and will have to take a stronghold of the program as juniors next year,” Forget said.
Forget’s goal for next year is to make the state playoffs.
“Next year we need to work on playing more as a team and conditioning,” Patrick said. “We need to add more players as well.”
