SPANISH FORK, Utah. — Still undefeated in region play, Miners won 21-4 over Maple Mountain. Three players led the scoring with three goals each, including Freshman Brendan Johnson. Jack Mchenry had 12 ground balls and went 70% at the face-off. Bo Hathorne and AJ Sillanoff combined to stop all but four shots in the win.
Before there was a W over Maple Mountain, this winning streak began with Springville, Provo, Davis, and Spanish Fork. Michael Persky has coached his team to an overall 8-2, regional 4-0 and ninth in the state rankings. Corner Canyon currently holds the top spot in Utah.
“This group of Seniors is a dedicated bunch with almost 100 years of lacrosse experience between them. Playing through injuries and COVID this group of kids has bonded and become very close,” wrote the team administrator on Facebook.
One long-time member of the team comes by it honestly. Junior John Trahan said, “After a tough two losses at the beginning of the season, we’re excited to be on the winning streak that we’re on. However, with the sanctioning of high school lacrosse in Utah, we’ve been playing against brand-new programs in our region. Even if these games aren’t as competitive as many other teams out of our region, we are still excited for the opportunity to get better. We’re going into May as one of the top teams in the state, but we have four games in the next two weeks against some good competition.”
