Indian Chief Oren Lyons


once said, “There are two times
of the year that stir the blood.
In the fall, for the hunt, and
now for lacrosse.” There is def-
initely something stirring here
on the PAHS lacrosse fields.
With a PAC-10 record of 2-2
(2-4 overall), the Phantoms
Boys’ Lacrosse team is optimis-
tic to make the playoffs this
season.
Senior captains A.J. Ryan
and John Moser lead the Phan-

include Khalil Ervin, Kevin Hy-

Chris Rossi, Matt Talarico,
Dan Tornetta, and Shawn
Wassel. Juniors Burke Bodo,
Morgan Frees, goalie Josh
Frey, Steve Kinback, John Kor-
naga, Tom Leupold, Mike Se-
menuik, Josh Sommers, Matt
Viscuso, and Brian Woodall
also provide the team with tal-
ent. Sophomores Vinnnie
D’Innocenzo, Chris Fry, Tim
Hackett, Mason Kulp, Dakota
Lantrip, Bryce Morse, Evan
Panepinto, Mackey Park, and
Matt Randall provide depth for
the Phantoms. Nineteen fresh-
men round out the team. The
team is coached by Head
Coach O’Brien and Assistant
Coach Seel.
Coach Seel is eager to see
how the season plays out. He
defines the season as “a mixed
review because we beat two
PAC-10 teams and then lost to
Boyertown.” After losing a lot
of seniors last season, Coach
Seel remains in good spirits.
He said, “This year a large class
of freshmen came out with a lot
of skills that will definitely con-
tribute to our successes this
season.” He also said, “Any
success this year will be a direct Two Lacrosse players fight for position during a game this spring.
