The Woodford County High School boys' lacrosse dominated Atherton in a 9-3 win at home Friday, March 8. The Jackets controlled the game by being physical and forcing the Rebels out of their game plan. WCHS junior Nick Crowe had a terrific game with four assists and one goal scored. Crowe continues to pass the ball with precision to find the open Yellow Jacket attackers. Junior Trevor Evans and freshman Garrett Cheek each scored a pair of goals for the Jackets. Junior Juan-Angel Martinez scored a goal and added a pair of assists. "We feel like we are getting better each day," said Evans. "This group of guys tries hard, and we expect to win every time we get on the field." Senior Ben Bland and sophomores Caleb Jacobs and Lucas Jones each scored a goal in the win. Senior Everett Thompson tallied 11 groundballs, one interception, and two takeaways. Junior Aiden Baldwin was 11 of 15 on faceoffs, and sophomore goalkeeper Bryan Birch made 10 saves.
"Bryan is playing a high level right now," said WCHS Coach Jeff Faulkner. "We are riding on his back until our offense starts clicking. We see signs of life offensively, and I feel like we are ready to get it going."
