# 3511  Victor Takes Class B with 9-6 Win

*+Victor defeated Irondequoit 9-6 tonight in the Class B Championship to win their tenth Title and second in a row.  The game was close for the first half, before the Blue Devils pulled ahead in the second half and held off a small push by Irondequoit in the middle of the fourth.  Senior attackman Jack Herendeen finished with 2g-2a and was named the All-Tournament MVP.  Much like the earlier game of the evening, this game was a defensive battle.  Both goalies, Irondequoit's Sven Habitzreuther and Victor's Parker Erwin were named to the All-Tournamanet team.  Both Habitzreuther and Erwin recorded 10 saves for their respective teams.  Offensively for the Eagles, Jonah Carrier finished with 3g to head his team; in addition to being named to the All-Tournament Team, it was also announced tonight that he was named the Section V Offensive Player of the Year.  

The first quarter saw a flurry of scoring with both teams putting three into the back of the cage.  Irondequoit scored the opener with Carrier scoring unassisted less than a minute into the contest.  Three minutes later Victor scored their first goal.  Tanner Radogna scored with an outside shot (assisted by Brody Secker).  Secker finished with 1g-1a and was named to the All-Tournament team for the Blue Devils.  Victor took their first lead of the game 2-1 with Jackson Mead scoring the first of his two goals.  The play started after Christian Beasaw caught the ball behind the cage after a missed shot.  He quickly turned the ball around to Mead along the left side the crease.  Irondequoit did not let the lead last long as they scored on the ensuing face-off with Carrier adding another unassisted goal to his count.  With 6:25 remaining, the score was tied 2-2.  Each team added a single goal before the end of the quarter.  Victor scored first with long-stick Cam Ryan scoring from a fast-break after a broken clear by the Blue Devils.  Irondequoit`s was also scored during fast-break.  Sophomore Dylan Carey scooped up the loose ball near his defensive restraining line and ran all the way up the field.  He then assisted junior Ryan Avery for the goal.  The score was tied 3-3 after the first quarter.

In the second quarter, each team added one goal.  Victor took another lead with the first goal in man-up.  Christian Besaw scored the first of his 2g-1a with a feed from Aiden Clinkscales only 0:32 into the quarter.  The majority of the quarter was back and forth with both teams having a chance at the cage and both defenses standing strong.  Irondequoit's goal was scored with 0:08 remaining on the clock.  Carrier scored his third goal with another unassisted goal.  This time with a straight drive at the goal from the top.  The score remained tied (4-4) going into halftime.

Much like the second, the third quarter was a defensive battle.  Only a single goal was scored with Victor going back on top 5-4.  Herendeen got his first point with an assist to Secker.  All four of his points were in the second half.  In the fourth quarter, Victor came out swinging and added two more goals before Irondequoit responded.  Herendeen assisted another goal, this one to Besaw. This was followed quickly by Mead's second goal of the night (unassisted).  The Blue Devils' had their largest lead of the night with 9:58 left on the clock (7-4).

Irondequoit attempted a comeback with back-to-back scoring.  Cooper Moore scored the first goal and then turned around to assist the second (Oliver Grisdale scoring).  However, it was not enough and Victor`s Herendeen tacked on to more goals to close out the game and send Victor to the State Tournament.

Additional players named to the All-Tournament Team included Drew Williamee (Canandaigua), Zachary Ajauananda (Spencerport), Cam Miller (Irondequoit), Cooper Moore (Irondequoit), Cam Ryan (Victor) and Brody Secker (Victor).

# 3498  Players of the Week - Group 6

Section V Boys Lacrosse Coordinator Mike Simon in conjunction with the Canandaigua National Bank are, once again, sponsoring recognition of noteworthy performances throughout the season.

In our sixth group we have two seniors, and an eighth grader who have had noteworthy performances in the last week.

Offensive Player of the Week

Jonah Jobson - Thomas Attack/Midfield

Jonah Jobson is an eighth grader who has a record of 20g-8a in his first year on the Varsity. Perhaps them most memorable to date is his game-winning, overtime goal when the Titans beat Rush-Henrietta last week. With less than two minutes left in the half, Jonah scored two goals in less than a minute to send the Titans into the break, down 6-7. His final goal, at 2:44 left in overtime came from a feed from Brandon Trottier.

Head Coach Rob Ruller says, "Jonah is a soft spoken eighth grader, who smiles more than he speaks.  He is always willing to do the extra work and has been a big factor in many of our games throughout the season.  To see him get that game winner was an awesome moment for the entire Thomas lacrosse family.   He comes from a long line of lacrosse members who have played for Webster.  Obviously, his dad but also his Uncles and his Grandpa played for Thomas in the early years."

Offensive Player of the Week

Melkamu Blueye - Marcus Whitman Midfielder

Melkamu Blueye score the game-winning overtime goal on a feed from Logan Storms to lift the Wildcats over Bloomfield-Honeoye last week. After returning from an injury during the season, he has been greatly responsible for five winning games for Pal-Mac.

Head Coach Mike Gorton says, "Melkamu missed several games in the middle of the season due to injury.  Since his return, we are 5-1.  Against Bloomfield he carried the team, scoring five goals, including the game winner in OT.  He also had 10 GB's and 4 takes, several of each on our offensive end to regain possession.

He is our workhorse on both ends of the field and one of the hardest workers I've ever coached."

Defensive Player of the Week

Will Gordon - McQuaid Goalie

Will Gordon made twenty-six saves last week as the Knights beat Fairport and Victor. With saves percentage above his average, he recorded ten saves (67%) in the Fairport game and sixteen saves (73%) in the Victor game. His career saves at McQuaid is 397 saves.

Head Coach Alex Gray says, “Will had a great week last week with a 10 saves on Tuesday and a season-high 16 saves on Thursday. He has been our starting goalie since he was a sophomore and he has improved each year. Will is a 2-year captain and has been one of the biggest leaders on our team. He has been a pleasure to coach and he leads by example through his play, his mental toughness, and commitment to his team.”
