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

In our eighth group we have a senior, and a sophopmore who had noteworthy performances in the last week.

Offensive Player of the Week

Jackson Dennie - Pal-Mac Att/Mid

Jackson Dennie, now in his second year with the Pal-Mac Varsity has had a big impact as the Red Raiders continue to be undefeated thus far in their regular season. He is being honored this week for an extraordinary performance in the game with Geneva where he scored eight of the game's twelve goals. With Pal-Mac down with time running out, Jackson scored the tying goal with just seconds left. He then scored the winning goal in overtime. The offensive sophomore has 61g-23a this season and a two-year record of 121-30. 

Head Coach Joe Hill says "Jackson has had a strong season so far, and his performance in the Geneva win truly highlighted both his potential and the team's resilience when facing adversity. This recognition reflects not only his individual effort and dedication but also the collective commitment and chemistry of this entire group. Always proud to see hard work pay off." 

Defensive Player of the Week

Daniel Schmitz - Rush-Henrietta Goalie

Daniel Schmitz, a senior goalie in his fourth year with the Royal Comets, made twenty-one saves in the two games played last week. In the very close contest with Schroder, he thirteen saves (65%) made the difference in their 8-7 win. He had a shutout with eight saves his first half time in the goal against Newark. Over his four years in the goal, the Mercyhurst commit has 614 saves (57%) in 2,2269 minutes in the cage. This year he has twenty-six ground balls and seven takes. 

Head Coach Ted Winslow says, “Daniel has been the backbone of our defense for three years. Not only is he an outstanding ball stopper but coordinates our entire defense and distributes the ball in transition. He has been a difference maker for us in every game.”
