The girls lacrosse team had their senior night last Thursday against the Buckeye Bucks. They celebrated their seniors well, with a dominant 15-4 win. Senior Gwen Hongosh stunted all match long, dropping 6 in the net. Her 6th goal was a behind-the-back stunner. This earned her From the Sidelines’ “Who Put the Hustle in Award,” which she has more than familiarized herself with. Seniors Kirsten Lloyd and Ruby Fraunfelder each scored their first hat trick. The girls next game is tomorrow, May 7 against Aurora on the road.

The boys track team competed in the Reynolds Invitational last Friday in Avon. This was the boys’ penultimate invitational before the post season.

Sophomore Boston Truitt earned 2nd in the 400m dash, just narrowly missing the sub-50 second mark. Additionally, he just missed the podium in the 200m dash as well, finishing in 4th. 

Lakewood Baseball played St. Edwards on Friday, destroying them in the battle of Lakewood 8-0. The Rangers were led off with a homerun by Cooper Russel, with other home runs by Riley Verteber and Drew Jones. On top of his homerun, Jones pitched 6 ⅔ shutout innings. He earns From the Sidelines’ “Who Put the Hustle in Award.” This win cemented the Rangers’ 2nd-place standing in D2, with only Amherst left to topple.

Lakewood slammed Bay Village in an 18-0 game, giving them a sad walk to their cars. Jackson Comer took the cake with 5 innings pitched and 0 ER, also going 2-3 on the plate. Dog-walking teams this hard should be illegal, but the Rangers just keep producing, with an insane 18-0 record. 

Thursday, May 7

Lakewood destroyed Rocky River 6-0 last night. This is nothing new for the Rangers, as they are just too good to let other teams think about scoring. Riley Verterber pitched a shutout game with only 1 hit, also scoring one run. This makes him the From the Sidelines’ “Who Put in the Hustle” award winner. Lakewood will play Bay Village tomorrow at noon.
