McQuaid Jesuit
McQuaid Jesuit
was third in the new GRALL league with a 1-5 league record
(5-14 over all under first year McQuaid Jesuit Alumnus, Rob Warren.
The Knights were seeded 8th in the Class
A Tournament and lost in a close game to 9th seeded R-H in
the out bracket (7-5).
Junior Scott Rubino (att), senior Brandon
KcKay (mid), sophomore Alex Caton (def) and senior Chris Ragan
(def) each receive first team honors from GRALL. 
The Knights graduated eleven seniors in
2004 including Mckay, Ragan (RIT), defenseman John Robinson
(Geneseo) and goalie David Yahoodik.
There are seven lacrosse teams in
the Section with new Head Coaches and McQuaid Jesuit is one of them
as long time Pittsford assistant, Scott Bryson takes over
for Rob Warren. Coach Bryson spent many years in the Pittsford
program, has served as an Empire State Games coach and has
been a USLacrosse “Man of the Year”. He will need
to focus on the loss of Yahoodik, Robinson and Ragan as he
builds the defense, but junior Alex Caton returns and Coach
Bryson has high expectations for Dan Blackburn and Christian
Cavanaugh. Junior Pat Maquire is looking for goalie time.
On the offensive end of the field, the Knights should have
a good start with seniors Tyler Rubino and Brendon Clar in
the attack. At midfield seniors Scott Rubino, Kevin Dacey
and Randy Mays return. McQuaid Jesuit is looking for an improvement
in last year’s record and have picked some non-GRALL
games that will be challenging and yet meaningful.

MYNDERSE Mynderse
was 2nd in the Finger Lakes-2 league with a 2-2 record (7-9
overall).
The Blue Devils were seeded 4th in the Class
C Tournament but lost to 5th seeded Livonia, 11-7 in the quarter
finals.
Sophomore Eric Davids made the Finger Lakes
2nd team in defense and senior Anthony Carnavale made 2nd
team in the goal.
Mynderse graduated 6 seniors in 2004
including Carnvale (Utica), middies, Mike Lambert (Alfred
State) and Brian DeMillo (Alfred State) and Matt Daffledecke
(FLCC).
Returning for the 2005 season are senior Chris Warrick in
attack and seniors Tim Ellis and Troy Gotham and sophomore
Kevin McCully in the midfield. Junior Eric Davids and senior
Brad Temple will return in the defense. Newcomers include
juniors Nick Tiarkkun (Goal), Cody Willett (Def) and sophomores
Josh Kurdziolek (M/A) amd Tim Sweeting (M/A). The Blue Devils
like the strength of their defense and will look to athletic
midfielders to do much of the work, but depth may be a concern.
