May 18, 2010 — The Saxons confirmed that theirs would be relatively smooth path to the second round of the Northern Region boys lacrosse playoffs this year with a comfortable, 18-1 win over the visiting Edison Eagles of the National District last Tuesday evening at Marshall High School.
By game’s end the score-sheet started to resemble a roll call for the Langley squad, with 11 different players finding the back of the net for the green-and-gold. The Liberty District champs took a 5-0 lead into the second quarter, and although a persistent Eagles squad managed to peg one back at the start of the second period, the remainder of proceedings was directed by the Saxons, who forged a 12-1 half-time advantage and added another half-dozen without reply during the second half.
Jacks were wild this night, as two Langley attackmen — senior Jack Lundeen and junior Jack Sandusky — each recorded a hat-trick, while senior middie Jack Curry pitched in with a pair. Senior Ethan Bailey and sophomore Sean Ahearn both netted a couple as well from the attack position, in addition to single goals from sophomores Jared Larsen and Josh Sibio. Three other Saxon middies — seniors Joey Byrne and Bryan Clubb, and sophomore Clay Rivers — supplied a goal a piece, as did senior defender Thomas Robinson.
Freshman attacker Dean Jester accounted for the sole Edison goal, with an assist credited to junior attacker Greg Smith.
Ryan Long and Andrew Spivey had five and four saves, respectively, in net for Langley with the two splitting crease duties by halves. Eagle sophomore Jacob Broome, by far the busiest goalie during the contest, was credited with 10 saves.
Coach Earl Brewer will next see his Saxons (15-1) confront the Chantilly Chargers (11-4) in a region quarterfinal play-off battle at Langley on Thursday evening, a match-up of opponents in last year’s state final that went Langley’s way in a 4-3, overtime thriller.
Edison ends its 2010 campaign with an overall record of 6-9, its best since going 7-6 in 2003 and much improved over the last few years.
