We are pleased to announce that TEAM Lacrosse has decided to have club level teams for the following age brackets 2021-2026 this fall and next summer. We will also have a High School All Star TEAM for 2019/2020 this fall (INVITE ONLY) and we will participate in 1-2 summer tournaments for our 2020 class. Based on the feedback we have received and from sponsoring the Mason Dixon Showcase this past June, we believe we can bring a new energy to the Central PA area that is so desperately needed to help grow the game of lacrosse. We have setup a strategic partnership with Duke’s Lacrosse Club out of Philly, with a coordinated effort to give the handful of elite players in each class the opportunity to play for both TEAM and Duke’s. Our concerted efforts will be coordinated, so you can play for both clubs with no tournament conflicts. We believe this will give your son the opportunity to play and practice locally with other Central PA lacrosse players but if selected get to play for one of the best nationally recognized club programs in the country.

TEAM Selection Process and the Avillo Award
QUESTIONS about TEAM Lacrosse All County selections. We will be announcing our 1st, 2nd and Honorable Mentions selections after the YAIAA County Championships. Our selection process will be different than the coaches or Gametime PA selection process. We have consulted local high school coaches, referees and have used the Max Preps statistics as a common denominator. We also felt the best way to differentiate each players personal achievements is to review their overall play versus common opponents not just total points or goals/assists recorded. Defensively, we spoke to several players and coaches to get who they felt were the best defensemen and goalies on their respective teams. We are aware there will be disappointments in any selection process and there is no perfect formula and solution to selecting these teams, we are doing this banquet and rewarding these players to ultimately grow the game of lacrosse in central PA and give these young men the recognition they deserve. A player of the year will be announced at the banquet.
AVILLO AWARD - there are 14 schools in the YAIAA, and we have created the Avillo Award to reward not only the best lacrosse players in the community, but the STUDENT Athlete that best represents their High School through loyalty, character, and determination. The Avillo Award is named after Phil Avillo who played college football and lacrosse at Hofstra University and then went to the Vietnam War and was injured in combat, upon returning from battle and with the loss of his leg he persevered in life, raised a beautiful family and was a professor and started the local York College lacrosse program. To be nominated for this award is an honor and all nominees will be given a memento for their nomination and the winner of this award will be given a trophy and a $500 scholarship towards the recipients college education. Each nominee will provide us with a brief resume of their athletic and scholastic careers in high school and a winner will be announced the night of the banquet.
Tickets for the TEAM Lacrosse Awards banquet have gone on sale. Tickets are $25 per person, Varsity lacrosse players are free for the event. To purchase tickets please contact Frank Corto @ frankcorto4@gmail.com or 717-747-0000, we will accept payments by PayPal (frankcorto4@gmail.com) or checks made payable to TEAM Lacrosse.
MIDSEASON REVIEW OF EVERY YAIAA TEAM
MIDSEASON REVIEW:
As the season is about half way over, its time to look back and then forward and give a quick assessment of each team in the YAIAA.
Delone Catholic - Congratulations on getting your first win in YAIAA history. The team is young and hungry and they are doing things right.
Kennard Dale - I have not seen them play and based on box scores it looks like a long season so far for KD
New Oxford- I haven't seen them play yet but they are super young and coach Cross is committed to getting them up to speed with the York County teams
Dover - its been a long season so far, I do see some talent but its hard catching up to York's best teams
Eastern- they have a handful of good players that try to do too much, tough to compete against the better York teams with a 20 man squad
West York - this team has some young talent in Jordan Billett and Brady Halloran and with Licthy on defense I look forward to watching them play in the next weeks
Southwestern- this team has some high motor athletes that play as fast and as tough as anyone, they just can't get over that hump, losing a lot of close games this season
York Suburban- I have watched this team more than any other team and there is talent everywhere but they just can't get out of their own way, they are 5-13 against the top 5 teams in York county over the last 4 years with 3 of those wins against Dallastown.
Spring Grove- Zeb Hollinger is a beast and Scott Toman is doing the most with a smaller roster and has them contending for counties. Toman is doing the best coaching job in the YAIAA.
Red Lion- this team is a work in progress, I like what coach Stafford has implemented on offense getting everyone involved and using Workinger as your workhorse when its needed, they will be vying for that last spot in counties with a few others.
Susquehannock - as I have said from early Spring their coach will have them prepared for every game, and with Connor Kernan in the cage they will compete with anybody. As one coach said to me, Kernan is a game changer.
Dallastown- As I took my medicine early on for not mentioning Dallastown in the preseason they have proven me wrong and will be right there for competing for the County title. They have both high octane offense with probably the best poles in the area.
York Catholic- with Drew Snelbaker dominating at the faceoff and the combo of Witman, Amalfitano, Hake and Cassidy they have enough fire power to blow teams out. They will do some damage in districts after counites.
Central York- I know coach Muller doesn't like me putting a bullseye on his teams back but when you are undefeated in league play for over 20 plus games its not my doing. Kollin Vaught is the difference maker more than any other player in the YAIAA. If the offense can learn to play team lacrosse versus looking to get their name in the paper, they will do a lot of damage in districts and possibly make their first state playoff appearance.

ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN: YORK SUBURBAN, SOUTHWESTERN & WEST YORK
Top 6 for the YAIAA 04/11/2018
6.) Spring Grove: Coach Toman has this team believing they can compete and are doing just that, he also
has a horse in Zeb Hollinger and he's going to ride that horse hard and often.
Hollinger completely dominated in the Suburban game.
5.) RED LION it looks like Elijah Workinger is doing exactly what is expected of him, 7 goals against Central
York helps solidify his place as one of the best in the area. They will be a tough out for anyone who plays them.
4.) Susquehannock : as I said in my preseason write up I know the coach will always have them
prepared and they have balance on the offense/defense and with Kernan in the goal they will always be in every game.
3.) York Catholic: the two losses they have this season have come to Central York and Hempfield,
those are two teams nobody wants to face, they should be one of the teams to challenge Central York
when May comes around, Drew Snellbaker is dominating like Vaught does for Central.
2.) Dallastown: I hate to say it but I overlooked this team in the preseason but when you look at its roster,
I don't have a good reason why I didn't have them higher. Offensively they have 3 of the top 5 scorers in
the YAIAA and I'm not sure yet but there defense may be their better unit with Werner, Brown,
Downey and Eckert anchoring the D. Huge matchup against Central against two unbeatens.
1.) Central York : This top seed is Central's until someone knocks them off their pedestal.
They have a complete team and a dominant FOGO is Kollin Vaught. At this point of the season,
Vaught is the most dominant player in the YAIAA but its the depth of Central that should help
them stay unblemish this regular season. They can throw players after player at you offensively
and defensively without much drop off, no other team in the YAIAA has this type of depth.

YAIAA PLAYERS TO WATCH AND PRESEASON RANKINGS
TEAM LACROSSE: THIS WEEK IN LACROSSE
OFFENSIVE PLAYERS TO WATCH:
KOLLIN VAUGHT 2018 CENTRAL YORK FOGO No one in York/Adams County can dominate a lacrosse game like KOLLIN VAUGHT. He can take over a game (winning 90 to 100% of the faceoffs), it becomes make it take it. Now that he can also play offense, I say watch out. If VAUGHT stays focused on the prize, I see him with a lot of hardware at the end of this Spring.
ALEX KILGOUR 2018 CENTRAL YORK A/M Kilgour is the best all around lacrosse player in York County. He can clear, he can score with both hands, he can play attack/middle or any other position the coach may ask him to play. He could be seen this Spring playing man up and man down in the same game, he’s that versatile. Kilgour has all tools to play at the next level.
ELI WORKINGER 2019 RED LION A/M The big question will be where does Workinger play? He has the size to play attack and with the loss of Sam Emig it makes sense for him to make the switch. He played midfield last year and for his club team but good things happen when the ball is in his stick. It will be fun to see what first year coach Stafford does with this workhorse.
COLE WITMAN 2019 YORK CATHOLIC MIDFIELD Transfer from Eastern to York Catholic, Witman has the physical tools to be a great player, size speed and just runs like a gazelle. How he mixes into the York Catholic offense will be something to watch all Spring. The Johns Hopkins commit has the athletic ability to dominate a game if he wants to do it.
DIMITRI AMALFITANO 2018 YORK CATHOLIC MIDFIELD Miti is a slick lefty that can play the game of lacrosse. When he gets the ball in his stick good things always happen. Add him and Witman to the same midfield and its pick your poison. I expect a lot of Amalfitano this Spring, the biggest thing his team will need is leadership and I think he’s up for the task.
DOMINIC CORTO 2020 YORK SUBURBAN A/M Corto is a dynamic and powerful dodger and has the vision to find the open man while still dodging at full speed. His vision on the field and making the no look pass anywhere on the field is at another level. He’s the top returning scorer in York County with 93 points during his freshman season at Suburban. He should look to add to those stats and help put Suburban into counties and districts.
ZEB HOLLINGER 2018 SPRING GROVE MIDFIELD Hollinger is an athletic lefty that can dodge around or over his defensemen. Hollinger has the tools to dominate a game, not sure he has the supporting cast to help him when he gets double and triple teamed. When he gets one on one not sure many can hold him down. Look for a big season from Hollinger.
RYAN McGUINNESS 2020 RED LAND ATTACK Ryan is a fantastic player to watch. He can dodge from X or the wing and has great vision. His outside shot is hard and accurate, big things coming from McGUINESS at Red Land.
ETHAN PICKETT 2018 DALLASTOWN ATTACK Pickett has a knack for finding the goal, when he gets his hands free he will score. Pickett is the top goal scorer returning from 2017 with 51, and he should pick up right where he left off last year.
AUSTIN SIPES 2020 YORK SUBURBAN ATTACK Sipes has the best hands in York County and his off ball skills are as good as advertised. Team him up with Corto and you have the most potent attack around. Sipes will have a breakout year this year and will be hard to stop.
OTHER OFFENSIVE PLAYERS TO WATCH THIS SPRING:
ADAM REBICH 2018 SUSQUEHANNOCK MIDFIELD
TANNER HAINES 2018 DALLASTOWN MIDFIELD
COLIN KERNAN 2018 SUSQUEHANNOCK MIDFIELD
CONNOR HOCH 2018 CENTRAL YORK MIDFIELD
CHANDLER HAKE 2019 YORK CATHOLIC ATTACK
DREW SNELLBAKER 2019 YORK CATHOLIC FOGO
RYAN KILGOUR 2019 CENTRAL YORK ATTACK
MATT HAWKSWORTH 2019 CENTRAL YORK MIDFIELD
ZACH MENTZER 2019 RED LION MIDFIELD
EVAN LECATES 2020 YORK SUBURBAN MIDFIELD
DEFENSIVE PLAYERS TO WATCH:
CHRIS BRANDSTEDTER 2018 CENTRAL YORK DEFENSE Brandstedter is the quarterback and leader of Central’s defense. He plays solid man to man defense and is deceptively quick for a big guy. Central’s in good hands with Brandstedter’s leadership.
PAT LICHTY 2018 WEST YORK DEFENSE Lichty may be the best defenseman in York, when he wants to be. If motivated he can shut a player down, and will wreak havoc on anyone he wants to shut down. Lichty should have a great senior season.
RICKY POKRIVKA 2019 YORK CATHOLIC DEFENSE Pokrivka is the prototypical football player turned lacrosse player. He loves contact, will slide early to initiate contact and can play solid man to man D. The anchor for York Catholic’s defense.
NATE DOWNEY 2018 DALLASTOWN LSM / D Downey is a quick LSM who can run up and down the field. He is a definite offensive threat with the ball and has great stick work, consistently grabbing passes out of the air.
JAY NAZARENUS 2019 RED LION LSM / D Nazarenus is the most athletic defenseman in York/Adams County. I wouldn’t let him leave the field and I wonder where he ultimately ends up playing, does he guard the best player on the other team or does he stick with LSM? Time will tell but he will give fits to whoever he guards this Spring.
CONNOR KERNAN 2020 SUSQUEHANNOCK GOALIE Kernan is one of the best goalies I have seen in a long time. He doesn’t give up the cheap goal and always makes the saves he suppose to make. He can make the clearing pass to all outlets. Kernan is a difference maker, Susky is set for the next 3 years.
BLAKE WALLACE 2018 YORK SUBURBAN GOALIE Wallace took more shots than any other goalie in 2017. He took 339 shots on goal in just 17 games. If he’s not a human piñata this Spring, he should help lead Suburban back to the playoffs in May.
BLAZE HAKE/ERIC MIRKOVICH 2019 CENTRAL YORK GOALIE Not sure if they platoon this year or if coach Muller goes with a definite starter for the season? Both goalie’s will benefit from the deepest defensive unit in the York and Adams County.
OTHER DEFENSIVE PLAYERS TO WATCH:
NICK SERRANO 2018 RED LION GOALIE
AARON CZECH 2019 CENTRAL YORK DEFENSE
JUSTIN SHOCKER 2019 YORK SUBURBAN DEFENSE
ETHAN ECKERT 2020 DALLASTOWN DEFENSE
IAN MCNAUGHTON 2020 CENTRAL YORK DEFENSE
QUENTIN LYONS 2020 RED LION GOALIE
TOP 5 YAIAA HIGH SCHOOL LACROSSE RANKINGS :
5. YORK SUBURBAN - until they beat the best teams in the counties they will be on the outside looking in, they have the talent to compete with anyone. Big question is, can they put it all together? Time will tell.
4. RED LION - Red Lion has talent and should be a tough out for every team, how quick coach Stafford can get them focused and replace Sam Emig will be where they end up this season.
3.SUSQUEHANNOCK - Susky has enough talent to make counties, districts and states, their coach will have them prepared, add in Kernan and I think they will be a team no one wants to face.
2. YORK CATHOLIC - Catholic has talent all over the field, how they groom that talent and get them to play together will be how far they go. No shortage for offensive talent on this team.
1 CENTRAL YORK- the future is now and it is bright. Central should be able to keep this top spot most of the season. They have talent everywhere and have the best FOGO around. When you get the ball more than any other team, you have a good chance of winning. If they don’t lose focus and start thinking ahead they should have a really successful season.
