# 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."
