Boys Varsity Lacrosse Loses a Heartbreaker to Jenison 9 to 8

The Laxers were at Eagle Stadium last night for another Tier 3 Conference battle against the Jension Wildcats. The two squads traded goals throughout the 1st half with the game always within 1. The penalty bug bit the Eagles in their backside as they struggled to gain momentum, if it was not a penalty it was a turnover as they found themselves down 9 to 5 at the end of the 3rd quarter.

The defense once again was stalwart with not one but three penalty situations where they had to play 2 men down. The Eagles did not quit, and mounted a 4th quarter charge, banging home 3 goals in the 4th quarter to close the gap to within 1 goal with under a minute to play. Possession was gained off of a Wildcat turnover by Caleb Morrison, and the Eagles called a quick timeout to set up what they hoped would be a game-tying Biscuit, but alas it was not to be.

Points on the night went to BJ Apol with an assist, Luke Afman and Blake Grieve each with a goal, Colin Wildman with 2 points from ab assist and a goal, Jake Eaton and Spencer Slagboom each with 2 goals, and finally the leading point getter for the evening was Logan Eaton with 4 from his team-high 3 assists and 1 goal.
