Players of the Week - Group 1

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 first group we have a freshman and two seniors who have had noteworthy performances in the last week.

Offensive Players of the Week

Jase Smith - Gananda Attackman

Jase Smith The four-year Varsity senior started off his final year with a big opening season game as Gates Chili came to Gananda. The Blue Panthers won 20-11 and Jace figured in on sixteen of them, turning in eleven goals and five assists. The Alfred commit has a career record current sits at 47g-23a.

Head Coach Dan Riordan says "Jase played a tremendous game last Friday which is a testament to his hard work this off season which started last summer. He works hard every practice and even stays late. As a senior, he was appointed one of our Captains and he continues to lead by example. His five assists stands out more to me than his eleven goals because his looks to feed show his unselfish play." 

Blake Jipson - Thomas Attackman

Blake Jipson Many first year Varsity players expect to quietly ride the bench and check out the world of the more competitive Varsity program. Few of them are freshman starters and even fewer start their first Varsity game with a seven goal day.

Head Coach Rob Ruller says, "Blake plays the game with a little flair and a lot of enjoyment. He played well in his first varsity game for sure scoring seven goals. He can play a lot of spots for us on offense and he handles the pressure well. He has really stepped up and handled the move up from JV last year. We look forward to seeing what he can do over these next four years."

Defensive Player of the Week

Jack Rawleigh - McQuaid Jesuit Goalie

Jack Rawleigh The Knights travelled to Corning last week for their first game of the 2025 campaign, still relishing their impressive New York State Championship last spring. Jack Rawleigh returns for his third and final season before moving on to play at Utica next year. In a very close game with Corning, which the Knights won (8-7) by a single goal, Jack recorded fourteen saves (67%). 

Head Coach Alex Gray says, “Jack is a great player and an even better person. He is an extremely hard worker and is always looking for ways to improve. He is definitely a leader in our program and has had an awesome start to the season.”

NYS Experimental Shot Clock Rule

The New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA), in partnership with the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), has approved a one-year experimental shot clock rule for the 2025 lacrosse season. This rule will be implemented at both the Varsity and Junior Varsity levels across all NYS public high schools.

Key Features of the Rule

60-second shot clock will activate in the following situations:

- Once the ball is advanced into the offensive goal area with possession.
- After Team A satisfies the 10-second count required to advance the ball into the goal area.

Teams must attempt a valid shot-defined as an attempt above the goal line extended (GLE) that contacts the goal, goalpost, goalkeeper, or results in a score-within 60 seconds. Failure to do so will result in the ball being awarded to the defensive team.

Shot Clock Reset Conditions

The shot clock will reset under certain circumstances, including:

1. When the offensive team regains possession in the offensive goal area following a defensive turnover.
2. After a valid shot makes contact with the goalpost or goalkeeper, and possession is regained in the offensive zone.
3. Following a loose ball play-on situation, once offensive possession is confirmed by officials.
4. After a defensive foul, with possession awarded to the offense.

Resets will be signaled by officials with a twirling arm motion, ensuring clarity for players and coaches. The clock remains inactive until a Team A player gains clear possession.

Officials` Signals

Additional hand signals will be used to manage the shot clock:

- Twirl of the hand indicates the shot clock should start or reset.
- A side-to-side wave of the arm indicates the shot clock has started or reset.
- Tapping the top of the head signals shot clock expiration, resulting in a turnover.

Impact of the Rule

This experimental rule is intended to enhance the tempo of play, encourage offensive creativity, and make the game more engaging for players and spectators. It marks a significant evolution in NYS high school lacrosse, with the 2025 season set to provide valuable insights on its impact and effectiveness.

The 2025 Season is underway

Varsity lacrosse teams throughout New York State had their first practice of the 2025 season today and thousands of players have high hopes for a fantastic year, full of wins and championships. In the end, however, there will only be two teams left in each class who will compete for the New York State Championships and this year those championships will take place in Section V.

NYSPHSAA rules require preparation and conditioning before games came be played. The first game currently scheduled in Section V will be on Monday, March 24^th when St Joseph`s (Section VI) travels to Webster Thomas. (see NOTE 1).

By rule, each team is allowed to play up to sixteen regular season games. To see your favorite team schedule, you can go to their team page. There, you can see not only their schedule but team history, honors and more. If you are interested in every game scheduled, you can find it on the "GAMES" tab (see NOTE 2).
