The Jonathan Law boys lacrosse team finished up their regular season with a 5-11 record.
The team was led by senior captains Tyler Davis and Evan Nash, who were key contributors to the team’s successes this season.
“The season went well – I thought that we had some games where we played not up to our standards but there were also some games where we played above our standard,” Davis said. “I think that overall we had a fun and enjoyable season with some ups and downs.”
The players competed as hard as they could and left it all on the field. To Head Coach Frank Skawinski, coaching lacrosse is more than just teaching the game.
“I love creating an atmosphere and sports culture where the team can be excited to come together, whether for games or practices or offseason training, and then be upset when it’s over. I want them to enjoy every aspect of this sport,” Skawinski said. “Teaching young men important values about life through lacrosse has always been one of my top priorities. I like finding ways to continue growing the lacrosse team on the Law side of town to be more recognized and competitive around the SCC and state. It’s a fun job because I’m always asking myself, my staff, and my team about what we can do better next year.”
This year, the team welcomed many new players and learned how to learn from their wins and losses to improve in the long run.
“Some successes were the way we as a team would bounce back after a tough situation or loss, seeing it as a learning experience,” senior Tim Firla said.
The team is determined to rebuild and ready to work hard in the off-season to improve for next season. With many players returning with more experience next year, the team has high hopes for the future.
“I think a big goal going into next season is making states and having a lot of kids come to play for the team,” sophomore Alexander Konlian said.
