“Our Camden Hills underclassmen were able to get a lot of game time in the second half and showed some great skills and patience on the offense end,” said Camden Hills head coach Harrison Rogers. “Our younger defenders did very well at limiting Morse’s production in the second half.” 

Camden Hills defenders Oliver Castle, Ethan Butler, Cameron Lawrence, George Wilt, and Will Gardner had a great game for us defensively, noted Rogers. 

Meanwhile, midfielders Luke Harrach, Eric Andrews, Sylvan Eichenlaub, Polk, Hunter Smith, Quinn Riordan, and Max Ergas had another stellar game for the Windjammers, according to Rogers, by controlling the midfield and ground ball battle, the latter of which Camden Hills won the ground ball game 40 to 10.

“Morse did a great job in the second half battling us until the last whistle and never giving up,” said Rogers. “Morse won the second half of the game 5 to 2 against the Windjammers. I have to give a hats-off to Morse, their seniors, and their Coach Jay Paulus for coming back in the second half. Congratulations to all the Morse senior lacrosse players on their achievements in school and on the lacrosse field.”

Lincoln Academy goalie Will Farrell was one of the biggest stars on the night, Rogers added. Farrell stopped 18 Windjammer shots, including some point blank 1v1’s against some of the top goal scorers for Camden Hills. 

“Windjammer seniors Charlie Griebel, Levi Guay, Nolan Delehey, Sylvan Eichenlaub, Eric Andrews, Simon Polk, Hunter Smith, William Gardner, and Luke Harrach have been a big part of Camden Hills athletics and the school community for the last four years,” said Rogers. “Coaching this group of seniors is extra special for me since we have been together for four years on the lacrosse field and with four of them on the ice. I am extremely proud of everything this group has done in the classroom, in athletics, and throughout the community.

The senior captains of Charlie Griebel, Levi Guay, Nolan Delehey, and Sylvan Eichenlaub have continued to lead us on the field for the last four years. It has been an absolute honor coaching all nine of these seniors and I am really looking forward to all the great things they do in the future.”
