Boys' Varsity Lacrosse

Regular Season Record 7-4

5-14-08     Boys' Varsity Lacrosse vs.  St. Andrew's  W 11-7 

Rocky finished off the regular season at St. Andrew's. St. Andrew's came prepared with a healthy squad and offered an excellent quality game against RHS. A game riddled with penalties on both sides of the field, Rocky Hill held on for a strong win, which will take us on to the semi-final game at home against Falmouth . The best part of this game that the ball moved around well, and just about any player who scored a goal got an assist as well. This was certainly proof of good ball movement. teamwork and heads up quality play.

5-12-08     Boys' Varsity Lacrosse vs.  St. Thomas More  W 8-3

Rocky Hill traveled to St. Thomas Moore and played in windy, chilly conditions. Spirits are still high after the big game against Falmouth , and even with a slow start on offense and a very physical game, RHS came out with a solid win.  The team gets ready for the final game of the season against a solid, athletic St. Andrew's on Wednesday, as the team moves forward toward the post season.

5-7-08     Boys' Varsity Lacrosse vs.  Falmouth  W  15-11

Something was in the air this day, as all of Rocky Hill lacrosse was up in spirits and positive attitudes. There was a large, team-wide acceptance of what we must do as a team to succeed. As soon as Adam Swist scored the first goal of the game, Rocky Hill began firing on all cylinders for the first time all season. Barrett Cavanagh led the offense (6 goals on 7 shots, 9 gameballs), and Brendan Schulz had huge game with 18 saves. We showed up strong, ready to play, and won an important game, on and off the field.

5-5-08     Boys' Varsity Lacrosse vs.  William  L 13-1

Rocky Hill faced a talented and disciplined team in Williams. As a team, we were still thinking about the Falmouth game and did not play at our best. Our defense did work well against an organized offensive effort from Williams. Our offense stumbled a bit, making low quality passes at key points during the game. Brendan Schulz (15 saves) played well the cage, and helped the defense put up a strong effort in this the non-district match-up.

5-2-08     Boys' Varsity Lacrosse vs.  Falmouth  L 6-4

RHS played at Falmouth Academy on Friday evening.  Some obstacles continue to impede our goals, but with positive goal-tending and a strong defense, we were able to keep the score close, losing 6-4. A hard fought loss, we look forward to seeing them at our home field Wednesday afternoon as we try and pull off a win to get a better seeding for the upcoming playoffs, which begin in one week.

5-1-08     Boys' Varsity Lacrosse vs.  Marionapolis  W 8-3

RHS traveled to Marianapolis, playing on a muddy, slippery, field, which offered some interesting aspects to the game. This was a game our underclassmen really grew from. Sam LeBlanc was the goalie of the day, with seven saves (game high). Julian Salvatore and Jonathon Arthur stepped up and made some great plays on the attack today, each showing what they want to bring to the program over the next few years. The team mostly had a good time, especially after the hard loss just one day earlier.

4-30-08     Boys' Varsity Lacrosse vs.  Hyde  L 6-4

The boys' lacrosse team played a hard fought battle, which did not turn out as we expected. With some lack-luster effort in our part through out key areas of the field, mistakes were made, and our focus was off. We still had stellar play in the goal from Brendan Schulz (12 saves on 22 shots) who had excellent support from the defense. Servi Barrientos was given the task of covering their best attack, which he held to only one goal and one assist. Hustle and heart award would be given to Morgan Helm who dug in and fought hard for a game high 12 groundballs. We once again walked off the field feeling like we let one slip by.

4-23-08     Boys' Varsity Lacrosse vs.  St. Andrew's  W 7-3

The Boys' Varsity Lacrosse team played St. Andrew's on Wednesday in the most competitive game of the season this year. While the score, 7-3, does not reflect it, the game was up and down the field, with good offense and defense on both sides of the ball. Tory Dumas played with exceptional charisma and hustle, scoring two goals and getting two assists, having the game high of 4 points. Jarred Carr showed some class and finesse with a nice shot wrapped around his ankles, finishing with 3 points (1g, 2a). Solid defense from Servi Barrientos (4 ground balls) and Barrett Cavanagh (1g, 2a, game high 5 gb) allowed the RHS lacrosse transition game and offense to maintain control on the field. The team is excited for their next game.

4-21-08     Boys' Varsity Lacrosse vs.  St. Thomas More W 7-3

Highlights to come.

4-14-08     Boys' Varsity Lacrosse vs.  Marionapolis  W 11-2

Boys' Varsity took on Marianapolis yesterday for their home opener of the season, and showed the significant progress being made with their hard work at practice. With a different group to start the game off than in last weeks hard fought loss to Hyde, the squad took a little bit to calm themselves down, but after a quick pep talk during a time-out with Coach Truncelito, the offense finally found their groove, and knocked off three goals in fairly quick succession. Once the goals started to come, Rocky Hill maintained a command of the game and never relinquished it. The final score may be uneven, with RHS winning 11-2, there was significant amount of fight between the boxes, and the offense did tend to get a couple of quality looks at the goal. All three goalies played with style and finesse, with Sam LeBlanc leading the charge with three saves on the day. Freshman goalie Mike Tilley had a strong showing in his first time between the pipes for the varsity squad. The defense played as a team much better than previously, making Coach Blankenship smile. The man-up offense was as strong as ever, and showed great leadership, and helping the underclassmen see more time on the field than before. Rocky Hill lacrosse is starting to see the new system being installed by Coach Blankenship and Coach Truncelito coming together. Congratulations RHS Boys Lacrosse!

4-7-08     Boys' Varsity Lacrosse vs.  Hyde  L 14-4

We lost a hard fought game, which we as a team believe we could have won. Hyde jumped out to a demanding 5-1 lead in the first quarter. This was a very challenging position to be in going into the second period, but we adjusted our defense, which allowed our offense to take a bit of control in the game. Our defense held Hyde scoreless the entire 2nd quarter, while our offense held the ball well, and created quality opportunities putting the score at 5-3 by halftime; and we were feeling much better about our game.

Our third quarter was our best offensive attempt, tallying two more goals off of ten recorded shots, cutting the lead to 6-5. The coaches felt the momentum was swinging our way, but our lack of endurance began to take its toll, our defense began to break down, and we just could not keep the motor running long enough pull the upset victory, losing 8-5. We walked away frustrated, but feeling confident we can walk into our next games with more pride and higher expectations than we did today. Stand out play from Barrett Cavanaugh, Jarred Carr, Brendan Schultz, and all our long-poles made the difference in key aspects of the game. We will be eager to take the field again when we play Marianapolis.

After going up early by two goals, the RHS JV lacrosse team saw a Hyde team with was much larger numbers stage a comeback in the second half to tie the score at five with about two minutes to go in regulation. Looking tired and worn out, the Rocky Hill squad strapped on their helmets for what they figured was one last go in overtime. Both teams registered shots that keen goaltenders managed to stop, and the first overtime period ended with the score still knotted at 5-5. Finally, after spirited back and forth play, with 40 seconds left in the second overtime, on a clean feed from Jonathan Arthur, Dan Gauvin squeezed a sneaky side arm shot past the rival keeper for the win, thus ending Rocky Hill's 2008 JV's undefeated campaign.

Boys' Middle School A Team Lacrosse

Record  3-3

5-19-08 Boys' MS A Lacrosse vs. Williams  L 8-2

The RHS middle school A lacrosse team made the long trek to Williams yesterday, and came back a bit frustrated.  It was a tough, very physical game, and the scoreboard didn't tell the whole story.  Williams was strong in the net, rejecting most of our efforts to get the ball in it.  Rocky Hill's defense was lacking a key member due to injury, and the attack and midfielders found themselves fighting hard for every ground ball.  Williams most definitely had size on us and used it relentlessly to keep us out of the scoring zone, and take us out of “our” game.  All RHS players saw time and put forth a strong effort, but the score refused to change quickly enough for us.  Both Lucas Berg and Joey DiBiase took a half in the goal, each facing many hard, well placed shots, and repelling a good percentage of them.  Scoring for RHS was Matt Nota with two goals.  The team is looking forward to a tough, but closer match up against MB on Wednesday, to close out our season.

5-8-08 Boys' MS A Lacrosse vs. Wheeler L

The MS boys “A” team took a tough defeat Thursday against a well organized tough team from Wheeler.  Their goalie left little space to get the ball in and stopped most of what RH put his way.  Scoring for RHS were Matt Nota with four goals, Joey DiBiase with one and Sam Hallowell with one assist.  With a deeper bench and strong commitment, Wheeler played their game taking RHS out of theirs.

Scoring for the Mariners were Matt Nota, with three goals and two assists, and Andrew Nota, with two goals.

4-17-08 Boys' MS A Lacrosse vs. Pennfield  W 9-5

The MS Boys' A lacrosse squad continued its winning ways with a convincing victory over Pennfield.  Jumping out to a four-goal lead in the first quarter, the Mariners added three more before the end of the first half.  With the entire team seeing much action, Rocky Hill tallied twice more in the second half to close with a 9-5 final score.  Six different players found the back of the net on the day.  Specifically, Matt Nota recorded a hat-trick, Wyatt Sharpe scored twice, and Ethan Thoms, Sven Wadensten, Joe DiBiase, and Ryan Trinque each converted once for the Mariners.  Once again, the defense played well behind the Triple Towers - a.k.a., Will Pontarelli, Dakota Bennett, and Kevin Lieb – who stood tall before their fearless goaltender, Lucas Berg.

4-10-08 Boys' MS A Lacrosse vs. PCD  W 7-5

The final score was 7-5.
