Methacton 2016 Boys Lacrosse Preview

[dropcap]#4[/dropcap]Methacton

Head Coach: Nathanael Ryan, seventh season.

Last year’s record: 8-6 PAC, 9-9 overall.

Players to watch: Seniors Aidan Denecke, att.; Connor Stevenson, att./mid.; Andrew Benci, def.; Nick Salerno, def.; Eric Dietch, mid.; Gil Price, mid. Juniors Kyle Derrickson, def.; Ryan O’Toole, mid.; Harvey Smith, G. Sophomores Kyle Kacala, att./mid.; Stanley Kolimago, mid.

Outlook: Led by returning PAC first team picks Denecke and Derrickson, Methacton returns a good chunk of last year’s league semifinal team. Coupled with the improvement of underclassmen, the Warriors are optimistic again but must fill in some gaps in the midfield, where they were hit most by graduation, to reach their best. “With our new facilities we’ve really been afforded more opportunities than ever to develop the talent we have and we are looking forward to the spring season,” coach Ryan said. “Our 2016 team again looks to compete for a bid in the PAC-10 final four. After earning the fourth seed last year we are well aware of how competitive our league is for those four spots and welcome the challenge.”
