Players of the Week - Group 3

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

Offensive Player of the Week

Ryan BremerRyan Bremer - Canandaigua Midfielder

Ryan Bremer is a senior in his third year on the Varsity and had a big performance last week when he scored three goals in the 9-6 win against Victor and then his four goals and two assists as the Gray Wolves defeated Corning 13-9 to preserve their undefeated season. This season he has scored fourteen goals and eight assists toward his 28g-24a career record. 

Head Coach Deven York says "Ryan is the definition of a two-way middie. He can facilitate the offense, plays great defense and is incredible between the restraining lines. Hard to believe, but he can run all game. Exceptional leader and teammate." 

Defensive Players of the Week

JW SmithJW Smith - Midlakes Defenseman

JW Smith The third year Varsity defenseman had a great game as the Eagles won their game with Wayne. While holding his assignment scoreless, JW had a coast-to-coast goal to score his first career point. He also led the team with ground ball production and is known as the vocal leader of the defense.

Head Coach John Hicks says, “JW is a team captain and has worked very hard over the course of this off season. He leads by example and is always putting in the extra work and time to be the best he can be. He welcomes any challenge we throw his way. He is a vocal leader as well always communicating on the field. Our defense as a unit has been great together but he is definitely a big glue piece that helps keep their defensive bond strong.”

Colton RoseColton Rose - Livonia-Avon-Geneseo Goalie

Colton Rose The senior goalie had a 91% save game against Brockport, allowing only one goal and the had a 76% game against Greece to give the Lakers two wins in their 3-2 season thus far. The third-year senior is committed to play for Wheeling after his graduation this spring. 

Head Coach Mark Rumfola says, “Colton is great kid and is a pillar to our success currently and for the rest of the season. I believe his life time save percentage is around 62%. His lacrosse IQ is one of his greatest assets. He is hardworking, he is one of our captains, and he truly is a role model for the rest of our team on and off the field.”

Players of the Week - Group 2

Section V Boys Lacrosse Coordinator Mike Simon in conjunction with the Canandaigua National Bank are, once again, sponsoring recognition of noteworthy performances throughout the season.

In our second group we have a member from each class who have had noteworthy performances in the last week.

Offensive Players of the Week

Jace SmithZach Tortora - Spencerport Midfielder

Zach Tortora The junior who has committed to play at Canisius has been an important part of the Spencerport successes going back to his freshman year. Last week he scored ten goals, eight gbs and five controlled turnovers to help the Rangers off to a 2-0 record with wins against HFL and Williamsville East (Section VI). His current career totals include 85g-36a-89gbs and 24takes. 

Head Coach Bill Buttaro says "Tort is a gritty player. He is a true two-way midfielder that is rarely off the field. He is a junior and was voted to be a captain for the second year in a row by his teammates. I haven`t coached many kids that want to win as bad a Tort, and I can guarantee you he's going to do everything he can to try and get us there." 

Gianluca AuriusoGianluca Auriuso - Hilton Attackman

Gianluca Auriuso Sometimes a game-winning goal overtime is extra special. Last week Gianluca scored the last two goals in the Irondequoit game, to tie the game and then to win it on overtime. It was the first win for the Cadets against the Eagles since 2019. The sophomore, in his second year is off to a great start with 13g-7a.

Head Coach Tim Byrnes says, "Luca is a great team player and he works hard to be a better player every day. He`s a big part of our team and as a sophomore, we believe the future is bright for him."

Defensive Players of the Week

Cody WhittakerCody Whittaker - Bloomfield-Honeoye Face-Off Midfielder

Cody Whittaker The Pride is off to a great start this year scoring forty goals in the first week which is due, in part, to the efforts of the senior face-off midfielder. Last week is won twenty faceoffs (80%), then seventeen (77%) and then twenty-five (81%) in their three opening games against Haverling, Brockport and Myndersse-Romulus. He also added thirty-six ground balls, and nine goals. In his fourth year on the Varsity he has won over 400 face-offs and picked up just under 250 ground balls.

Head Coach Joe Sidari says, “As a senior, Cody is a high-character leader in our program on and off the field, and has a motor that doesn`t stop. Not only is he a truly dependable two-way midfielder, he does an incredible job earning us extra possessions at the faceoff dot every game. We are very proud and excited for him earning his 400th career faceoff win last week, a testament to his hard work and dedication.”

AJ TheodorakakosAJ Theodorakakos - Penfield Defenseman

AJ Theodorakakos The Patriots are off to a tough start, but have been playing against some of the strongest teams in the section but there are still some strong performances from the hard-working team. One of them is junior defenseman AJ Theodorakakos who scored two goals against Orchard Park and two more against Hilton. He added six controlled turnovers and eight ground balls as well. Last summer AJ committed to the US Military Academy (West Point).

Head Coach John Schembri says, “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.”

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:Shot Clock Field

- 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.Shot Clock Signals

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.
