Jonathan Law boys lacrosse is ramping up to start the spring season. 

With many new faces, the captains of the team have to take an even larger leadership role. 

“The main issue coming into this year for the boys lacrosse team was the lack of players,” junior captain Jack Sellman said. “We were able to overcome this by recruiting any athlete around the school, creating a larger team with many natural lacrosse players.” 

Many of the new faces include younger players who are ready to work.

“Since I’m new, after figuring out the game, I am ready to go to work,” freshman Jack Dastasio said. “The more hard work and focus I put in, the more opportunity I will get to play.” 

Along with new younger players, but the team has experienced ones as well that are ready to step up. 

“All the returning players are willing to put in the work to improve both themselves and newer players, and excited for another season,” sophomore Kiernan Wilson said.

In preparation for the regular season, the team played a scrimmage against Stratford/Bunnel on Saturday, April 2, and won by a score of 8-2. 

“I feel the biggest takeaway from the scrimmage was that good teamwork leads to success,” junior Connor Chirico said. “It was nice to get a win against a team like Stratford as it was important to us.”  

With the confidence gained from the scrimmage, the team now has higher expectations for the season.

“The goals for the season are to focus more on the skill level of younger players, and rebuild our program yo have high standards, that requires players to act responsibility on and off the field,” junior Matt Hagerty said. 

With development of young players and everybody holding themselves accountable, the Law lacrosse team is ready to have a strong season.
