Expert Analysis
Jared Valluzzi | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Another game, another show put on by Michael Melkonian. His dominance this postseason has continued as he went 19-of-22 in this contest. Yorktown was over 75% from the faceoff X this season and has a great overall unit, which includes great wing play. But it didn’t phase Melkonian as he helped South Side dominate possession and allowed his team to play “make it, take it” lacrosse in the second half. Yorktown tried various things to throw off Melkonian, like putting a highly touted pole on the draw or double poling the wings but barely anything worked. Melkonian essentially didn’t allow these amazing Yorktown long poles to impact the X. His IQ and decision-making has been taken to a whole new level this postseason. When you have those traits combined with his athleticism and hand speed, it’s scary. He has won 92 percent of his face offs during this playoff run.
