Section V Boys Lacrosse Coordinator Mike Simon in conjunction with Geneva Club Beverages are sponsoring recognition of noteworthy performances throughout the season.

In our fifth group we have three seniors who have had noteworthy performances in the last week.

Offensive Players of the Week

Miles McGuire - Brighton Attackman

Miles McGuire had a standout week, scoring twelve goals across Brighton’s three victories over Churchville-Chili, Schroeder, and Corning. The senior attacker consistently found the back of the net, contributing to his team’s success while adding to his impressive career totals of 77 goals and 40 assists. With his commitment to play at St. Michael's College, McGuire continues to prove he’s ready for the next level.

Head Coach Josh Laskowski says "Miles is one of our senior captains and showcases his offensive prowess every day in practice which then translates to the games. He is a threat from anywhere on the field; whether he’s dodging or stepping down he has a knack for finding the back of the net. In addition to his shooting and passing ability, Miles is a gritty player who rides hard and is a ground ball magnet which wins us extra possessions throughout the game." 

Jayden Mandarano - Spencerport Attackman

Jayden Mandarano is a three-year varsity player who scored an overtime game-winner to lift Spencerport over Fairport, 7-6 last week. His offensive impact was evident all week, recording six goals and eight assists, including a 4-goal effort against Irondequoit and a 6-assist showing against Gates Chili. With a career total of 76 goals and 59 assists, Mandarano continues to be a key playmaker for Spencerport.

Spencerport Head Coach Bill Buttaro says, “Jayden has been starting for us for three years and since the moment he stepped on the field has had one of the highest lacrosse IQs on the team. He isn't flashy, he isn't the biggest, but his skills and ability to diagnose a defense allows us to play the way we play on offense. He is an extension of our staff on the field and is always looking to put his teammates in a position to be successful.”

Defensive Players of the Week

Sven Habitzreuther - Irondequoit Goalie

Sven Habitzreuther is a seasoned senior who was a brick wall in the Eagles' two hard-fought victories last week, racking up an impressive 29 saves across both games. His standout showing against Pittsford, where he stopped 77.78% of shots on goal, showcased his ability to rise to the occasion when it mattered most. With 331 career saves and a reputation for shutting down even the fiercest offensive attacks, Sven continues to build on his legacy as a four-year Varsity standout. Having already earned Class B All Tournament and First Team All-County honors last season, he's proving once again why he's a cornerstone of Irondequoit’s success.

Head Coach Aaron Bottazzo says, “He's been the anchor of our defense; he's battled through the ups and downs of the season, and he's played at a high level and is a leader for the team. Our defense gains confidence knowing that he is back there. Sven comes to work every day, always looking to improve. He's not only a great player for our team, but he's also an even better person in the program and community. It's a pleasure to coach him.”
