Over spring break the boys varsity lacrosse team made their annual spring trip to Philadelphia where they spent a few days playing a variety of teams in the area. The trip was a 4 day extravaganza which included a plethora of practices and two games. After talking with some members of the team, they all thought that the trip was a lot of fun and thought that through the trip, the team bonded and built chemistry. Mike Pizzo ‘23 and Jay Ashforth ‘23 commented that it was a great opportunity to build camaraderie with some of the new guys on the team. The boys lacrosse team during the trip had two games against Perkiomen School and Westtown School. Unfortunately Gunn lost both games but the team played hard and fought to the very end despite having a shortened roster. Aside from the two losses Pizzo stated that the trip was, “A lot of fun. We bonded as a team and got better… It’s a good start to the season and sets the tone for the rest of the season”. As the official season begins Pizzo, Ashforth, and Ryan Croshaw ‘23 agreed that the team needs to improve on their faceoffs. Pizzo adds on by saying, “We need to develop more as a team right now and put the pieces together”. Finally, Ashforth adds that for the rest of the season the team needs to, “Play hard together and stay positive”. Crowshaw says, “Just let the defense do the work”. At this point in the interview everyone was confused. Moving on from the trip the team will take the lessons learned and implement them for the rest of the season. Overall the team morale is very high and everyone is excited and optimistic for the rest of the season.
