SCHUYLERVILLE — Nearing the end of a competitive season, the Schuylerville boy’s lacrosse team have made it through sectionals and sub-regionals.
Friday, May 24 the Black Horses defeated Johnstown 16 to 2 at sectionals.
“We played Johnstown earlier in the year. Had a very good game with them, a very physical game,” said John Bowen, the varsity coach. “We knew coming into Friday’s game that Johnstown would be extending themselves as far as having a better knowledge of what we were going to look to do.”
Coach Bowen states that this was the most complete game they’ve played all season. Specifically, their goalie Riley Taveras had a tremendous night.
“He made a couple of key saves when Johnstown felt like they had a little bit of momentum rolling, Riley came up with a couple of really big saves,” said Bowen.
Wednesday, May 29 the team played Briarcliff in the sub-regionals, section I, which Bowen expected to be a challenging game.
“They possess some skill sets that are very similar to some of the teams that we’ve seen here in our league. They've got some combined skill sets,” said Bowen. “We’ve played some teams that are very skilled, but maybe not quite as physical. We’ve played some teams that are also very physical, but maybe don’t possess the skills that Briarcliff does.”
In the end, Briarcliff defeated Schuylerville five to three.
