Comments from Camden Hills seniors on the first 10 games, after the Gardiner game

Jackson Fitch (Senior Midfielder Captain): “So far in 2022 our team has seen success, with an overall record of 8-1 after the away win against Gardiner on Saturday. However, I think we have only recently started to really play up to our potential. It started with the early season loss to Messo, where we competed but made a lot of unforced errors which ultimately led to the loss. From that point this team has been focused on fixing those errors… doing the little things and playing smart, efficient lacrosse. Building up since that loss we have struggled and learned a lot all while maintaining a winning streak. The game against Gardiner on Saturday is where we finally put it all together for the first time this season and came away with our most dominant performance yet. I credit our players, coaches, and everyone in the senior class of 2022 for the improvement of this team in recent years. I am very excited to see what we can do in our last few games and headed into playoffs.”

Owen Cooper (Senior Defensive Captain): For the Gardiner game: “Our defense came to play against Gardiner. We held them to three goals and were able to play as a unit. We also were able to get the ball down the field and keep the possession on offense.”

Logan Odone (Senior Face-off Midfielder): “I think with 3/4 of our season being complete we have improved tremendously as individuals and as a team in this 2022 season. We started off this season playing well but we realized it wasn’t good enough after our first loss early on in the season against Messo at our home field. That loss really pushed are team to go harder and motivated our players after seeing new competition in this 2022 season! We quickly got back under our feet after that loss and that led to a few more big wins against other teams allowing our underclassmen to get into varsity games getting goals, ground balls, assist, and face off wins.”

Elias Libby (Senior Long Stick Midfielder/Defender): “As a whole we've really been taking off. Offense has been slowing down and not forcing all our shots, shortening passes, and making the lay-up. Our defense has stopped taking so many penalties and have become surgeons on our checks.  The combination of these two things have led us to our wins this year and will continue to be the reason for our success.”

Eben Fagonde (Senior Midfielder): “The movements we have been making in practice are starting to translate into our games which was highlighted by our strong high scoring first quarter against Gardiner. I’m hoping to finish our season strong with lots of focus going into playoffs.”

Willy Doehla (Senior Captain/Attackman): “I loved how our team came out to play today (against Gardiner). We came off the bus with energy and brought it at the beginning of the game. Our team played the best quarter of the year, scoring 8 goals in the first quarter and holding Gardiner to no goals. The defense played insane and only held the Gardiner offense to 3 goals the entire game. I loved how our offense played as the hard-hitting Gardiner defense was laying out the offense guys on their dodges. But our offense was tough and had amazing ball movement which was hard for their defense to keep up with. Our energy definitely stood high over Gardiner's throughout the game.”

Jakob Johnson (Senior Attackman): “We came out with a lot of energy and were able to get a lot of chances early. We didn't capitalize on all of our chances but we were able to put in 8 in the first quarter. We weren't as dominant the rest of the game but we held strong and kept them to only 3.”

Rory Carlson (Senior Captain/ Long Pole Defender): “We came into this game planning to shut down their offense and that’s what we did. Every time they had possession, we were able to shut them down and clear the ball to the offense where they finished most of their opportunities. It was a perfect example of what we have been working on offensively and defensively for the past couple years.”

Camden Powell (Senior Goalie): “Since Messo, we have been progressing more and more as a team. From the clear all the way to taking our time in front of the net.”
