First year head coach Sal Guastella thanked the 21 seniors who didn’t get the chance to have a senior season.
“Words cannot express the level of disappointment I feel for all our players and especially the 21 seniors listed below. I know that these young men were the backbone of a program that now consists of over 90 players and plays very solid lacrosse at all three levels.
From the first day of practice I felt appreciated and trusted and the commitment was clearly there at every practice. The seniors made my brief experience with Middletown South lacrosse so positive and I am very grateful to all of you. The last two practices we had gave me a glimpse into the team we could be and I believed in my heart that this team would have been a force to be reckoned with in late April through a long May, when the games get tight and the stakes are high. Please know how much I respect you all for your integrity, caring, dedication, and willingness to accept change and make the most of it. These attributes will serve all of you well moving forward and I have every confidence that all of you will be successful in whatever endeavors you choose.”
Middletown South boys lacrosse seniors: Ron Antonelli, Connor Ard, Liam Blanchard, Nick Bonfiglio, Liam Canavan, Jake Connolly, Mike Dunn, Shane Dunphy, Kevin Francis, Matt Fusella, Tyler Kline, Carter Lenhard, Topher Lucyk, Corey Matheson, Tom Mielnikeiwicz, Shane Murphy, Liam Musa, Frank Piperno, Zach Waldman, Pete Winters, Brendan Yasuk.
