# 3990 2025 All-Section Five List Released The Section V Lacrosse leadership has selected first, second and honorable mention lists of All-Section players. The 2025 first team lists fifteen players and includes the six All-Americans previously announced. "The first six athletes on the first team are easy" said Section Five Assistant Coordinator, Paul Wilson. "after that, it becomes more difficult as we have so many excellent players. With the six first spots taken, there are only nine more places on the first team." To be nominated each player was required to be selected to their first team all-league team (except Independent teams). The lists were selected from a pool of ninety-two players. The selections were reviewed by Chairmen of each of the two leagues, three at-large coaches, the Lacrosse Coordinator and Assistant Coordinator. "It is a difficult task", Wilson continued. "There are so many talented players, so many different opinions, and so many elements to consider." Players are reviewed for their performances, the strength of their opponents and how their stats relate to the quality of their opponents. "Certainly, the strength of a team's schedule is a factor when reviewing a player" said Section V Coordinator Mike Simon. Although grade and league were not major factors in selection, the list shows the skills that are found throughout the section. Ten Monroe County teams were represented on the lists, with the rest representing Finger Lakes (6), and Independents (3). Showing that the "Best of the Best" can come from any age group, there were 26 seniors, 11 juniors, 6 sophomores, and 2 freshmen listed. Distribution among the positions shows 13 midfielders, 12 attackmen, 7 defensemen, 5 FO specialists, 2 LSM, 1 ssdm, and 5 goalies.

# 3984 Monroe County Awards for 2025 The Monroe County coaches met for their end of the year meeting and gave out 167 awards to their players. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
# 3975 USA Lacrosse All-Americans and All-Academics *+ The All-American awards are given to excellent lacrosse players from the area. The national program allows one award for each six teams in the area but this year there were six awards available. Twenty-two players were nominated. Section V coaches require that players who are in leagues must make first team league honors in order to be considered. For the All-Academic award, an emphasis has been placed on the academic qualification of the nominees, but players were required to be assets for their teams. Where, in the past, nominees for this award were first considered for their skill on this field, again this year, although skill was considered important, nominees did not need to be "All-American" quality players. The Head Coaches also selected a USA Lacrosse Coach of the Year for NYS Section V. This year the coaches selected the Co-Coaches from Gates Chili, who have helped save the program and instill new enthusiasm for the sport. Glenn Pittman & Bill Lewis "increased the number of kids participating, made a schedule where they could find success and helped change a culture that may have been broken."
Head Coach, Bill Buttaro says, "Jamison Brown is the type of person and player that every coach would dream of coaching. A true team guy. Jamison's whole life he was a goalie, before the 2024 season, we were short on midfielders, I asked him to switch positions, and he started for us at midfield all season. This year he started the season back in goal for us, but as injuries mounted at halftime of the Hilton game, I asked him to play midfield again to get us through the game. Without hesitation or question he sprinted to our equipment room and changed his gear. Warmed up and off he went."
