<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lacrosse Game Preview: Monday, March 17 – Lakeridge at Sunset</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Video Stream: <a href="https://www.nfhsnetwork.com/events/lakeridge-high-school-lake-oswego-or/gam2d14ced7a2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Link</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Get ready for a highly anticipated lacrosse showdown as Lakeridge heads to Sunset High School for a 7:15 PM battle under the lights. With both teams stacked with talent, this matchup is poised to deliver non-stop action. Here's a look at the key matchups, questions, and what both teams need to do to come out on top.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Key Matchups</strong></h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='125617' first='Marcus' last='Hahm'] (Sunset, Defense, All-State) vs. Davis Reardon (Lakeridge, Attack, All-State)</strong><br>The battle between two of the most dominant players on the field is set to be a game-changer. Hahm is one of the toughest defenders in the state, but he'll have his hands full with Reardon, who is a dynamic, game-changing attacker. Expect a fierce, physical battle between these two.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Archie Gold (Sunset, Midfield/Attack, All-Conference) vs. Kelly Lamb (Lakeridge, Defense, All-American, committed to Queens)</strong><br>Gold needs to be a key offensive weapon for Sunset this season, but Lamb is one of the best defenders in the state. Lamb's size, skill, and experience will be key in containing Gold's offensive contributions. If Gold can find a way past Lamb, it could be a turning point for Sunset.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Elliot Werner (Sunset, Defense, All-Conference) vs. Jacen Wilber (Lakeridge, Attack, All-State)</strong><br>Wilber can be very dangerous, and Werner's task will be to neutralize him. A solid performance by Werner could limit Lakeridge's offensive flow, but Wilber's creativity and finishing ability can make him a constant threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Question Marks</strong></h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Can Sunset stop Cash Groves (Lakeridge) at the faceoff dot?</strong><br>Groves has been a force at the faceoff X, and if Lakeridge is able to control possession from the start, it could make a big difference in the game's tempo. Sunset's ability to counter Groves' dominance will be key in setting the tone. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Can Keegan Puntey (Goalie, Sunset, All-State, committed to Westminster) stop the offensive onslaught from Reardon, McCarty, Coyne, and Wilber?</strong><br>Lakeridge's offensive firepower is formidable, with a host of weapons in Reardon, McCarty, Charlie Coyne (Midfield, All-State), and Wilber. Puntey, as one of the state's top goalkeepers, will need to be in top form to prevent this high-powered offense from running wild.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Will Lakeridge's goalie be up to the task?</strong><br>If Lakeridge has any question marks going into this season, it could be at the goalie position, and while they have a stacked offense, and possibly the best defense in the state, the goalie position will be under a microscope in this matchup. Can their goalie rise to the occasion and handle the pressure of facing a fast-paced, skilled Sunset offense?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How Sunset Can Win</strong></h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>To pull off the upset, Sunset will need to control the faceoff circle and limit Lakeridge's time of possession. Winning the faceoff battle is crucial to ensuring they get the ball into their offensive zone, it will need to rely on its wing play to make it hard for Cash Groves to win the clamp clean. In addition, goalie Keegan Puntey must stand tall and make critical stops to keep Lakeridge from running away with the game. Sunset will also need to find ways to exploit Lakeridge's defense, particularly Lamb, and take advantage of every opportunity to get quality shots on goal.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How Lakeridge Can Win</strong></h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lakeridge's game plan revolves around chemistry and spreading the ball across the field. With so many offensive weapons, Lakeridge can be deadly in transition and on the fast break. If the Pacers play as a unit and avoid forcing plays, their depth and talent may simply prove to be too much for Sunset to handle. The defense, led by Lamb and others, will need to stay disciplined and minimize mistakes, especially against Sunset's talented attack.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Final Thoughts</strong></h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is shaping up to be a thrilling matchup between two of the state's top teams. Lakeridge has the firepower, but Sunset is hungry for an upset and has the pieces in place to pull it off. Expect a fast-paced, physical game with all eyes on the key matchups and how each team handles pressure. With players like Reardon, McCarty, and Puntey taking center stage, this game is sure to be one you won't want to miss.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Kelley Lamb","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"200","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"146","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Lakeridge High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67bcee949eeac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Committed to Queens.

He has a strong ability to both score and distribute the ball, making him a constant threat on the field. His vision is exceptional, always keeps his eyes up to find open teammates and set up plays. At the same time, he is highly capable of taking the ball to the cage and finishing himself when the opportunity arises. I expect Archie's game to truly reach a new level in 2025 as he continues to develop his skills and sharpen his offensive awareness. Whether creating for others or taking matters into his own hands, Archie's versatility makes him a key asset to any offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
