As much as I love rattling Matt Saba and how he feels about lacrosse, I got to give it to the lax bros so far this year. They are absolutely going off. As of Thursday, they are 4-0 and that is without one of their best players, Frankie Ireland, who is out due to winning a championship for the Junior Bruins (and other things but we do not talk about that). I believe Frankie will get his second championship this year along with the first for his teammates.
On the offensive side, Tiger’s star Shane Kilkelly and Sam Stevens have been killing it this year. The Tigers have scored over double digit goals in each of their 4 games and I am pretty sure Shane and Sam have scored at least 3 in all of them, maybe 20. Shane has been known as a premier player in the league, even making it to the Top 10 Players To Watch list. His skill with the stick is just unmatched by anyone in the league.
However, on the defensive side, is where things get really scary. Matt Saba and Shane Murphy lead the charge with just spectacular play, barely letting any opposing opposition get a shot off let alone a goal. They are helped by goalie, Nick “Gary” Gillis, who most recently only let up 5 and 4 goals in his last two appearances.
I will also mention the emergence of Remi Creighton, who is being a fantastic on the face-offs this year, which is huge for the team.
If I have learned anything is that, I will always say that the team will win a championship because speak it into existence. However, this is different, this team is hungry, started hot, and will not plan on stopping. See you in at states.
