The lacrosse program at Bainbridge made a
collective statement this week. Despite a loss by the Division 3 squad,
the Bainbridge program now has a combined record of 13-3. The Division
1 and 2 teams are both undefeated and sitting atop their respective
divisions.
Beside the top two Spartan squads, Curtis and
Issaquah also remain undefeated. Only three teams still looking for
division
win #1. Some big scores, some big
performances…here we go!
Highlights
DIVISION 1
·
Bainbridge made a big statement as to who the best team is
in 2002! The Spartans defeated both the 2nd and 3rd
place teams this week to take a commanding lead on 1st
place. The Spartan’s overall experience and depth has really shown
through in their 6-0 start. Everyone knows of Adam Smith’s exploits,
but the stats show just how much of a TEAM the Spartans truly are.
Smith is the only Bainbridge player in the top 15 in scoring, yet
Bainbridge has scored 82 goals on the season. Smith only has 14 of
those although he has assisted on 15 more. Defensively, they have only
allowed a division low 22 goals against! In two games this week, the
stat line reads David Vanderhoek (5g, 1a), Spencer Evans (4g, 1a), Adam
Smith (3g, 2a), Tyler Bural (4g), Sam Cameron
(3g,
1a). There is no one top performer, but rather just one top team!!!
DIVISION 2
·
The story is much the same in Division 2 as Bainbridge’s
other squad has also surged ahead with 2 commanding wins. They now sit
at 5-0 atop the division. The Spartans were lead by Neal Batemen (6g,
3a) and Trevor Charles (5g, 3a) in the two games this week.
·
The Panthers have surged back into a 2nd place
position with two big wins. After an early season loss and a stretch of
non-divisional games, the Panthers have made adjustments and seem to be
on track. All-State defender Tyler Carr has moved into midfield to help
bolster the offense and his 6 goals this week certainly helped.
·
Eastside has hit the skids a bit with three straight
divisional losses. Jack Andrews continues to lead Division 2 in scoring
but it hasn’t been enough to help the Ravens knock off a top team.
DIVISION 3
·
Curtis played as many games this week as they had all
season. The win over Port Angeles dethroned yet another unbeaten. The
result- Curtis is now 4-0 scoring a division high 56 goals. The Vikings
are putting the hurt on opponents winning games by an average of over 8
goals a game. The duo of Anderson and Gibbon has yet to be derailed.
·
Despite another non-divisional loss, Issaquah kept its
division record clean with a big win over Mt. Ranier. Issaquah has only
allowed 18 goals in 5 division games. A big reason why is Zach Grote in
goal. Grote has a division high 52 saves with a .776 save percentage
and a 3.00 goals against average!
Top Performers
Only a freshman, Jon’s unselfish play has
proved big for Issaquah. This week he registered 2 goals and 6
assists in a win over Mt. Ranier. He now leads the division in
assists with 11, three more than the next closest assist man. Jon is
also tied for 8th (with two teammates) in goals and sits 4th
overall in points. The 6 assists and 8 points were both career highs
for Jon, albeit it his high school career is just getting started.
·
Tom Gibbon, Curtis- Attack
Gibbon has registered a
hat-trick in all four games for the Vikings this season. This week he
had two double
hat-trick
performances!!! 12 goals and 2 assists in all, for the week, helped
Curtis to two more wins. Tom now leads Division 3 in goals (21), points
(25) and points per game (6.25)!
