About Gray
Expert Analysis
Ty Xanders | Prep Lacrosse Scout
One of the more intriguing storylines in high school lacrosse has always been how postgrads acclimate with the veterans and the program’s culture. That being said, Tamasco deserves a ton of credit for quickly becoming a defensive leader and communicating with his fellow poles as if he’d been in the program from Day 1. Carrying over his role at New Canaan as the air traffic controller, he communicated with confidence and was always in the right spots. His impact was felt at all times, including on the clear, where he didn’t hesitate to bring the ball over the midline to set up his teammates.
I’ve always been a Tamasco fan, but felt like he took a huge step forward after he returned from a hamstring injury in the middle of the season. A strong all-around defender, his imposing frame obviously stands out, but it’s the way that he’s wired that is just as impressive. What a gem for the Richmond Spiders.

Standing out in a sea of standouts isn’t easy, but Tamasco has been a showstopper. He missed a few games due to injury and plays like he is making up for lost time. Unofficially, I had Tamasco with four ground balls, three caused turnovers, two goals, and an assist before the starters were subbed out, and he did that from the close defense position in the game against Wilton. Tamasco sees the entire field at once, not just in settled sets on defense, but in transition. He identifies open areas in the clear and moves to them, and understands when to push transition himself, when there is no transition opportunity, and every situation in between. He’s physical, moving dodgers off their line, and his footwork is excellent. At 6’2, 190 lbs., he has a physical advantage over most attackmen he’ll guard this year. Currently a senior, Tamasco will head to Richmond after a postgrad year.
