Season retrospective

I suppose I should wrap up the lax season past. We ended up 10-2 after losing to ANDERSON, fer God's sake, although I hear they loaded up for us a little bit.

Postseason team awards are as follows:

Offensive POY: Jordan Fritz (Junior Attack)
The object of offense is to score goals. Nobody came close to scoring as many as Jordan did. Dude was prolific.

Defensive POY: Brett Seifried (Junior Goaltender)
Brett won a couple games for us, definitely the Loveland game.

Bombardier: Joe Radley (Junior Midfielder)
We were given all these criteria for what Bombardier means, I decided it means "He who blows shit up" and that would be Joe Radley.

Iron Man: Jonathan Koop (Junior Midfielder)
Jonathon was Mr. Reliable all year. That young man is gonna be a success whatever he ends up doing in life. In the picture linked above he is second (blue) from the right.

MVP: Jeremy Fritz (Senior Defense)
Jeremy was the heart and soul of this team. He's a leader without being big-headed about it. So many times, he would create a turnover with close defense, pick up the loose ball, and haul ass down the field, eluding frantic forechecking all the way, and deliver the ball safely to the attack. That stuff doesn't show up in the stats. Except the won-loss column, that is. He moves on to the fledgling University of Kentucky lacrosse program, where I have no doubt he will be a leader in short order.

I expect Koop and Radley to compete for varsity spots next season. They're certainly athletic enough. It all depends how much they want it. Will they do the work in the offseason? Time will tell.
