TEX BOYS: Georgetown Tops Vista Ridge in First-Ever Game

The Georgetown boys lacrosse team made quite a splash in its varsity debut Thursday night.

Senior attackman Jody Brown scored a game-high six goals to lead the Eagles to a 10-6 victory over Vista Ridge in a Texas High School Lacrosse League Central District Division II game.

Senior attackman Talor Wright added five points on two goals and three assists, and senior middie Ben Wolfman had three points on two goals and one assist for Georgetown (1-0).

Defensively, senior goalie Taylor Reynolds saved 12 shots.

“We’re in a unique situation, because with none of these guys having played before, teams are going to take us lightly and chalk us up as an easy win,” Georgetown head coach Scott Conrad said. “But we’ve got a lot of seniors on this team who are picking up the game fast, and we’ve got great leadership from our senior captains.”

In defeat, six players all scored once for Vista Ridge (0-1), which fell in its season opener.

Georgetown led 2-1 at the end of the first quarter, the game was tied, 4-4, at halftime and the Eagles led 8-5 at the end of the third. Georgetown eventually led by as many as five goals at 10-5 after Brown scored his sixth of the game with 3:51 remaining.

Vista Ridge pulled one back in the final minute, but it was too little, too late at that point.

“(Our captains) have really set the tone for our team,” Conrad added. “What we lack in experience and stick skills, we try to make up for in hard work and effort.”
