# 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."

Victor

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.

# 3975  USA Lacrosse All-Americans and All-Academics

*+USA LacrosseThe Head Coaches of Section V considered players who had been nominated for All-American and All-Academic awards. The awards identify some of the best players from each area around the country. Each of the head coaches in the Section is allowed to vote on each of the awards. The selections from our area were then submitted to the USA Lacrosse for final approval.

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.Academically, nominees needed to have an average GPA of 3.7 (on a 4.0 scale). There were also six awards available in Section V and some players were nominated for both awards.

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."

Jamison BrownIn 2012, USA Lacrosse added an award named for the long-time Johns Hopkins lacrosse coach and Athletic Director, Bob Scott. The annual award is given to a senior of outstanding character, good academic standing and one who demonstrates good sportsmanship and safe play. The winner from Section V, this year, is Jamison Brown, from Spencerport High School.

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."

2025 All-Americans

  • AhernKeegan Ahern- Pittsford senior Defenseman - Hofstra
    Head Coach Andrew Whipple  says: "Keegan Ahern is "the full package" when it comes to an athlete, leader, teammate and person. He is a highly skilled athlete with exceptional game IQ in the sport of lacrosse. This year Keegan led our team in ground balls, was routinely assigned to cover the opposing team's best mid-fielder and was on the wing for every face-off. Keegan is well-respected and admired by teammates of his own class as well as players at the younger levels. Our team will miss Keegan next year, and I have no doubt he will continue his successes during his lacrosse and academic career at Hofstra and beyond." 

  • BucciarelliTeagan Fingar - Penn Yan senior midfielder - Mount Saint Mary
    Head Coach Brian Hobart says: "Teagan has been a starter in our program since the 8th grade. He has established himself as the hardest worker in our program during that time. He has been a mentor to many of our younger players and gives his time and energy to the youngest of players in our program. Little kids flock to him and his energy for the game.He will leave our program as one of the all time leading scorers and in the top 5 in most all offensive categories. He signed a letter of intent to attend Mt St Mary's University in the fall.
  • Teagan has fought thru many challenges and never backed down from any of them. He embodies what it is to be a lacrosse player in Penn Yan." 

  • CarrierMitchell Monte - Fairport senior Attack/midfielder - Dartymouth
    Head Coach Mike Torrelli says: "Mitchell has a special instinct in the game of lacrosse that has allowed him to make plays most can't. He's done this every year he's played for us as a two way midfielder, one of the most demanding positions in lacrosse. This year, as an attackman, he's been able to showcase his ability as an offensive player. With athleticism, strength, speed, and unique dodging against the best defenders from every team, he is able to score with his hands free or under pressure. His humble demeanor and infectious work ethic have allowed him to succeed more and more each year, but also has set a standard for our entire program and community of student athletes." 

  • HerendeenCoooper Moore - Irondequoit junior attack/midfielder - West Point
    Head Coach Aaron Bottazzo says: "Cooper is an outstanding young man, and he is a top-notch lacrosse player as well.

Cooper does everything in his power to improve and reach team success. Additionally, he executes at a high level and is one of, if not the top attackmen in Section V and has sustained success over that past 4 years at the varsity level and is only a Junior. Cooper was voted a captain by his teammates due to his relentless work ethic care for the team and the way he carries himself in the program and in the community. He is a great player and an even better person." 

  • RheudeWill Rheude - Canandaigua senior defenseman - Loyola
    Head Coach Deven York says: "Will is going to Loyola on a scholarship to play lacrosse. He is extremely versatile and will play short stick defensive midfielder for them. For us he plays close an LSM defense, we always put him on the other teams best players and he has neutralized them when he is one on one. Will is a force between the lines, he stretches the field for us in transition. He stays on offense quite a bit and must be accounted for. He is great with the ball on the ground and plays wing of face offs. Will is invaluable on our team because of all the facets of the game he influences. He is a great student that is teachable and respectful. The strength of our team is how unified they are and this is a result of our leadership. Will doesn't call people out, he calls them in."

  • PerrymanAJ Theodorakakos - Penfield junior defenseman - West Point
    Head Coach John Schembri says: "
  • Despite the title of being a captain he leads through example. A.J. epitomizes everything we ask of a Penfield Lacrosse Player. More than his unique skill set, his effort, physicality, work ethic, character and leadership are second to none. That is why it should be no surprise that he was selected to serve our country at the USMA at West Point after he graduates. We are blessed to have someone like A.J. as a leader in our program."
