Pope John Paul 2016 Boys Lacrosse Preview
[dropcap]#6[/dropcap]Pope John Paul II
Coach: Sean Henry, 1st season.
Last year’s record: 4-10 PAC, 6-12 overall.
Players to watch: Seniors John McKendry, mid. Juniors Ryan Kormos, att. Sophomores Justin Kent, mid.; Michael Florig, def.; Matt Cressman, att./mid.; Kyle Donovan, att.; Noah Balliet, G.
Outlook: The Golden Panthers experienced almost unprecedented turnover with the graduation of the entire starting lineup except for senior captain McKendry. There is a benefit to having so many underclassmen featuring. “Most of the team has been playing together for years and has a great chemistry on and off the field,” new coach Henry said. The experience factor isn’t hindering PJP’s optimism though. “Our goal for this season is to post the school’s first winning season,” Henry said.
