The Jonathan Law boys lacrosse team is looking forward to its upcoming spring season.
The two senior captains, Tyler Davis and Evan Nash, are looking to make a huge impact on Law’s season this year.
“As captain, I have been talking with the team to try to make the game more respectful,” Davis said. “The whole team is working their hardest and improving each other every day.”
Nash said the team has spent time together in the offseason to prep for the spring.
“As a team, we’ve had captains’ practices where we’ve done some shooting, passing and just bonding because without a tight team, you don’t have trust and trust is the most important thing,” Nash said. “We also had team lifts to get everyone stronger and prepare ourselves for the challenges ahead throughout the season.”
Last season, the team went 6-11 and is looking to continue to improve this year.
“The boy’s lacrosse team is expecting to continue to build on the progress made from the 2024 season,” Head Coach Frank Skawinski said. “The boys won six games last year, which was double the wins from the season before.”
The Lawmen have several goals and expectations for their upcoming season.
“I am expecting seven wins or more this year, which would get us into States,” sophomore Alex Konlian said. “I’m also expecting to beat Foran for the first time, and I also expect that we not only grow as teammates but as family.”
Law also wants to get back into the CIAC State playoffs this season like they have in years past.
“We are aiming to qualify for the CIAC State playoffs this season,” Skawinski said. “We also want to increase our goal output from last season (6.125 per game last year) by four goals per game.”
Law graduated five seniors, but that isn’t stopping them from expecting a successful season.
“We have a very strong senior class this year, led by captains Tyler Davis and Evan Nash,” Skawinski said. “We are expecting to compete in every game we play and are instilling the motivation of outworking every opponent we play.”
The Lawmen have done a lot to be ready for their upcoming season.
“Our team has had lots of conditioning to get ourselves in shape for the season,” Konlian said. “We have also been hitting the wall to get more practice.”
