The Orange High School Varsity Lacrosse team went head to head with their rivals, Cedar Ridge High School, Tuesday, March, 19, at home, but took a severe loss of 1 to 17.
The one goal scored for OHS was shot by, sophomore, Bowen Collins.
The Cedar Ridge Red Wolves were fluent in the passes and the offense kept the ball forward for the majority of the game. The OHS Panthers, on the other hand, seemed to be having trouble communicating where to move the ball and did not work well with their teammates. They had very few clean passes and even fewer catches.
OHS seemed to struggle communicating with their team members’, and frequently would try to score without passing to their teammates, even if they were open. At some points, the team could even be seen fighting over getting the ball with each other.
With the poor performance of the offense and defense, the goalkeeper, Junior, Dylan McKinnon, was confronted with numerous shots by Cedar Ridge where they were standing right next to the goal, which gave him no reasonable chance to react.
While the Red Wolves’ did score 17 times, McKinnon saved a total of 18 shots.
OHS’ defense seemed to be too concerned with getting the ball rather than making sure they were covering the Red Wolves’ offense, forcing McKinnon to be overwhelmed by the close shots taken by the Cedar Ridge offense.
The OHS Lacrosse team, usually at least an adequate team, struggled and suffered a tremendous loss against the Red Wolves.
