The Centreville boys’ lacrosse team had another roller-coaster week, enduring a 12-3 home loss to Westfield on April 28, but responding the next night with an 18-5 victory at JEB Stuart.
The Westfield game was held on SYA night, which was fitting since many players from both schools are former SYA youth league teammates. The Wildcats were undone by the Bulldogs’ overall team speed and crisp passing. Centreville’s JV teams also lost to Westfield although the score was tight for most of the game.
The game versus the Raiders was much more productive, with 13 Wildcats scoring goals or assists. John Tarver scored the first goal of the game and finished with six total and Tyler Heidt scored three goals to accompany his six assists. Other Wildcats making goals were Patrick Goldammer, Kyle Richbourg, Pat Fuller (2), Jake Kandel, Corey Spriggs, Kainoa O’Connor, and Tommy Bowden (2). The team has thrived this season when it shares the ball, as exemplified by assists made by Matthew Laurence (2), Aidan Barnes, Austine Tebyanian, and Kyle Heidt.
