The Jonathan Law boys lacrosse season kicked off March 31 against Lyman Hall.

As of April 17, the team has a record of 4-3 with wins against Notre Dame of Fairfield, Ledyard, Wilbur Cross, and Norwich Tech, and losses to Foran, North Haven, and Lyman Hall. 

This year, the team welcomes a new head coach, Frank Skawinski, who formerly coached at Notre Dame-Fairfield.

Senior captain Dylan Wargo and junior Nathan Marroquin have been key players for the Lawmen so far this season.

“I like the environment that the new coaching staff has created for the team,” Marroquin said.

The team has working on their conditioning to stay strong and healthy for the season so they can achieve their goals. 

“We had two weeks of conditioning, we ran sprints, we did dynamic warmups and we did strength and conditioning in the weight room,” junior Basel Chwiki said. “These helped us get stronger and faster and in shape before the season.”

Senior goalie Aiden Stassun is working towards his goals while trying to help the team reach states.

“My goal for the season is to make states,” Stassun said. “But for my own personal goal I want to get over 400 career saves.”

Freshman Henry Smith is adjusting well to high school lacrosse.

“It’s a bigger commitment than during youth,” Smith said. “A lot more time is being spent on lacrosse and I’m playing against all kinds of different age groups unlike before.”

Junior Tim Firla is another one of the key starters for Law this season.

“I’m excited to see what this season will bring us,” Firla said.
