In the sunny city of Palm Beach, the energy is electric as the Palm Beach Central High School boys lacrosse team wraps up its regular season with an impressive 9-4 record. With the Florida High School Athletic Association’s Class 2A, District 15 tournament just around the corner, starting on Wednesday, April 9, the team is gearing up for what they hope will be a thrilling postseason.

On the Road to Victory

As they set their sights on the upcoming tournament, the Broncos know that to secure a coveted spot in the Class 2A state tournament, they will likely need to clinch the district title. Finishing in fourth place in the regular season district standings, the team has shown remarkable determination and skill.

Meet the Team

Leading the charge is William Bauer, who is currently in his second year as head coach of the boys varsity lacrosse team. The roster is filled with talent, featuring standout players who are critical to the team’s success:

  • Henry Petillo, the dedicated goalie and team captain, is a cornerstone of the team’s defensive strategy.
  • Logan Birdsall, the face-off specialist, boasts an impressive winning record of over 67% in face-offs, giving the Broncos a significant advantage on the field.
  • The defense is fortified by tough players like Jonathan Campbell and Ethan Lewis, who are known for their strength and aggressive gameplay.
  • On offense, the team counts on skilled attackers such as Aiden Emerick, Nicholas Tardivo, and Kolston Moradi to drive home the goals.

Coach Bauer also highlights the importance of strong midfield players, including Sean Lewis, Cooper Keydel, and Brody Diaz, who play a crucial role in transitioning play and supporting both defense and offense.

Hard Work Pays Off

This season’s success can be traced back to the players’ relentless dedication to improving their fundamental skills, particularly with their stick work. This commitment has resulted in enhanced gameplay, showcasing better offensive capabilities throughout the season.

A season highlight for the Broncos was a remarkable 12-5 victory against Wellington High School, marking their first win over Wellington in four years—an achievement that has brought newfound confidence to the team.

Key Rivalries Ahead

The road to the championship won’t be easy, though. The team’s key rivals in the upcoming tournament will be Boca Raton High School and Spanish River High School, both of whom handed the Broncos losses during the regular season. With the chance for redemption, the stakes couldn’t be higher!
