After a month of training and several scrimmages, the SKS boys varsity lacrosse team traveled to Darrow School for their season opener on Saturday, April 13.  According to Coach Graziosi, the boys demonstrated outstanding teamwork coming away with an 8-2 victory. Junior Sean Witte led the scoring with three goals, followed by Mason Popowitz ‘21 with two, and Rodrigo Toledo ‘20, Matthew Santiago ‘23, and Cody Ngwanza ’22 with one point each.  Storm King played “lockdown” defense led by Popowitz and senior Andrew Zhou. Sophomore Dias Aidossov was fabulous in his first official lacrosse game and freshman Steven You made eight saves at the goal.

“Our team is very young with 17 eighth, ninth, and tenth-graders on the team getting significant playing time. In this season of rebuilding our program, the boys have shown dramatic improvement and growth thus far.  They play with determination, ferocity, and are fearless on the field.  The future is most definitely bright for the Storm King Lacrosse program,” explained Coach Graziosi.
