Game Summary:
Shawnees
This week practice went pretty well. We had to cancel practice
on Tuesday but we got in a good practice on Thursday. We
spent a good amount of time in practice this week focusing on
ground balls and boxing out. Today we played a very good
team from Upper Arlington today and I think we showed them
that Hilliard Lacrosse means serious business. Passing and
catching today was much improved from last week’s game
against Delaware. We were doing a much better job making
passes to clear the ball from the defensive end of the field and
quickly transition to attack.
However, today we got beat on ground balls, plain and simple.
The other team was doing a much better job at boxing us out
and getting low on ground balls. Too often I would see our
guys overrunning ground balls because they were not getting
low enough and scooping through the ball so this coming week
we are going to continue to work on ground ball possession.
Overall they boys made a really good effort today. I was really
proud of the way they were vocalizing while on the field and
communicating with each other. If we can get a little better on
the ground balls we are going to be unstoppable!
On a side note…Parents please remind your boys to use the
restroom before they come to practice, our practice time is
limited so when a player has to leave the field they are missing
out on valuable instruction time. Please also remember we
would like to see players dressed and ready to start at the designated practice times.
