Boys Lacrosse Sectionals

I was able to capture a few sectional quarterfinals, semifinals, and all three Section V championships.

The first sectional game was on May 27th, 2010. This was a great matchup on paper as the usual lacrosse powerhouse Irondequoit Eagles took on the surprise team of Class B, the McQuaid Jesuit Knights. McQuaid had an outstanding year but couldn't stop Irondequoit's offense early. Greg Coholan (pictured) had 5 goals for Irondequoit as they took down the higher seed 14-9.

Class A scheduled two semifinal games at SpencerportH.S. on Tuesday, June 1st. The first game was between the Red Raiders and Royal Comets. Fairport started with a four goal lead after 1 quarter. RH played Fairport pretty even for the next 2 quarters keeping it close. The Royal Comets could not keep up with the great defense and goaltending of Fairport. Fairport's offense was top notch as usual too as they move on to the championship game. Fairport 15, RH 9. Click here for the rest of the pics....

The second game on June 1st was between Pittsford and Penfield. Pittsford poured on the offense early scoring 8 goals in the first quarter against Penfield. The winner would move on to the Section V Class A Championship game at St. John Fisher. The Panthers never looked back shutting down the Penfield offense and beating the Patriots 18-4.

The start of three finals was on June 4th, 2010 at St. John Fisher College. The first game was between Aquinas and Penn Yan. Aquinas started off strong with early goals. Billy Lombardi dominated the face-offs and it never really got close. Aquinas wins the Class C Championship 14-9 and move on into the state brackets. Click here for the rest of the pics...

The second game was between Webster Thomas and Irondequoit on Friday June 4th. Thomas scored the first couple goals of the game and looked like they were on there way to a big lead. Irondequoit fought back and poured it on led by Mike Utz who had 7 goals and won the MVP. The Eagles won the Class B championship with a 16-13 score over the Titans.

The last game at St. John Fisher was between the Red Raiders and the Panthers. I really was most excited to see this game because I thought it would be the closest of the three. I was disappointed as Fairport was too strong for Pittsford. Their offense is incredible, but I have now seen their goalie (Blaze Riorden) twice and have to say he impressed me the most this year. Not only is the sophomore great in the net, he came out of the net in this game to score a goal. Fairport wins 10-3. Click here for the rest of the pics...
