Players of the Week - Group 6

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.”

In our fifth group we have a senior and a juniors who have had noteworthy performances in the last week.

Offensive Player of the Week

Drew O`Buck - Hilton Faceoff Midfielder

Drew O`Buck is a faceoff midfielder who has been winning draws for Hilton since his 8th grade year.

Drew dominated face-offs with a stellar win percentage (83.33% and 80.95% against Rush-Henrietta and McQuaid Jesuit). He currently has 439 career faceoff wins (61%) and this year has 123 wins (70%) and he leads the team in ground ball production with 67.

Head Coach Tim Byrnes says "Drew has been a great leader for us on and off the field this year. He's ready to play everyday whether it's a practice or a game. Bucky pushes everyone around him to be better and leads by example. You can see by his faceoff stats this year he gives us a lot of opportunities to start on offense with the ball. He will be playing at Hobart next year and should make an impact for the Statesmen right away."

NYS Experimental Shot Clock Rule

The New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA), in partnership with the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), has approved a one-year experimental shot clock rule for the 2025 lacrosse season. This rule will be implemented at both the Varsity and Junior Varsity levels across all NYS public high schools.

Key Features of the Rule

60-second shot clock will activate in the following situations:

- Once the ball is advanced into the offensive goal area with possession.
- After Team A satisfies the 10-second count required to advance the ball into the goal area.

Teams must attempt a valid shot-defined as an attempt above the goal line extended (GLE) that contacts the goal, goalpost, goalkeeper, or results in a score-within 60 seconds. Failure to do so will result in the ball being awarded to the defensive team.

Shot Clock Reset Conditions

The shot clock will reset under certain circumstances, including:

1. When the offensive team regains possession in the offensive goal area following a defensive turnover.
2. After a valid shot makes contact with the goalpost or goalkeeper, and possession is regained in the offensive zone.
3. Following a loose ball play-on situation, once offensive possession is confirmed by officials.
4. After a defensive foul, with possession awarded to the offense.

Resets will be signaled by officials with a twirling arm motion, ensuring clarity for players and coaches. The clock remains inactive until a Team A player gains clear possession.

Officials` Signals

Additional hand signals will be used to manage the shot clock:

- Twirl of the hand indicates the shot clock should start or reset.
- A side-to-side wave of the arm indicates the shot clock has started or reset.
- Tapping the top of the head signals shot clock expiration, resulting in a turnover.

Impact of the Rule

This experimental rule is intended to enhance the tempo of play, encourage offensive creativity, and make the game more engaging for players and spectators. It marks a significant evolution in NYS high school lacrosse, with the 2025 season set to provide valuable insights on its impact and effectiveness.
