Gates Chili Looks to Seniors

Gates Chili 2022

Class B - Monroe County League

Last year, Coach Cam Gormel was hoping to build, but his Monroe County D2 schedule was brutal with losses to Penfield, Thomas, Brighton, Schroeder and Canandaigua. His D3 schedule this year may help the Spartans with games agaist East United/Eastridge and Brockport. Non-league games will include Haverling, Gananda, Newark and Batavia-Notre Dame.

Gates ChiliNearly all of the offense last year came from seniors who have moved on including Brady (29g-10a) and Ethan (22g-17a) Knauf who together produced two-thirds of the points.

Coach Gormel is looking for growth this year. "We're looking at another major rebuilding year with a good group of seniors to lead us. We have a lot of younger players who need to learn a lot from the more seasoned group. Hopefully we can find some success this year to build momentum for the program in future years."

The Spartans will look to a group of upperclassmen to get things done. Seniors Blake Fennel and Thien Nguyen will anchor the midfield with junior Ayden Zugnoni taking faceoffs. Fennel is set to play at Dubuque (Iowa - DIII), a Midwest Lacrosse League team that started playing in 2014. Ty Stevenson and Jake Hamilton will anchor the defense in front of senior Nathan Weise who made 172 saves last year.
