W&L 2024

Spano is having a very good season. The better metric is his FO win %. If he can continue winning, and get his win % up to, and past Jack's %, that is an even better measure than GBs.

Of course, he’s got a long way to go but he is showing signs of getting there. Jack lost a lot of time his senior year and 67% is a tall order. I mention gbs because Jack pulled about 30% to himself whereas Spano is about 45% which is a huge advantage . He will be a bigger threat to score as he’s out of his stance and moving upfield quickly. If it’s a tie game w 10 seconds left he can win it. Spano also will have the advantage of two gb machines in Beatty and Cohen the next 2 years they are outstanding.Spano could evolve as a shooter and passer getting 35-40 career pts eventually.

I think the discussion should concentrate on this year, and not jump to a senior year of another player (unless as NBTL mentioned, him leaving after this year which we would not like). I would compare him in the now and let the chips fall to our favor, hopefully. Winning FO % again, is the good measure if you are going to include SSDM in the discussion as they will take away from Spano's GBs.

Ott, second leading scorer as a sophomore. Might he be flexed and run out of the box more as the season progresses and get more minutes. 6 on 6 against Lynchburg I thought the bugs handled the Generals pretty well. He’s a 40% career shooter and very balanced as far as assists over his time at W&L. He’s an interesting option as the season progresses certainly provided a spark in the 4th at Lynchburg

[W&Lacrosse75]

Anyone know just how many guys may be missing going into the Roanoke game?

I counted at least Mannino, Allen, Barringer, Beatty, and now Ott as well. Not sure about a few others as well that didn’t play at all at Randolph. (It appeared that W&L tried to play every healthy player. There were about 10 that didn’t play)

What is up with Ott??? He had a huge 4th qtr and impact on the Lynchburg game. Burns is back which is a plus, but Ott is a very effective and efficient player. Beatty if still out for Tuesday nights game is a hit. The kid from Texas has played well but Beatty is the better option.De Cain is playing well, I think he will have another good outing. I’m going to lean on Spano having no worse than a 50% evening and wouldn’t he surprised if he were to dominate the freshman fogo for Noke( I think he’s a freshman). I expect a very tough game, lots of laundry in this contest. Would be nice if the Generals could take care of the little things and reduce the turnovers, they run at a high rate. Some would argue it’s their pace of play and maybe so but for a team who clears so well, you’d think they’d be able to play fast with fewer turnovers. Noke is up a notch this year and has gotten better as the season has progressed. Looking forward to a healthy Kammerman

[W&Lacrosse75]

I thought that Kammerman was injured late in the Lynchburg game. I may be wrong, but I thought he was helped off the field.

Sort of looked like the Mannino injury.

Kammerman was in the game when the score was 17-15, he put his left foot against the side of the goal, looking to stretch it out. Then Roanoke won the faceoff and his limp was really bad and he seemed to limp himself (maybe with others) off the field.

Just saw that the Gennies picked up another high profile F/O specialist from Georgetown Prep, a very strong program. That makes it a position that could be at least a 2 headed monster for the next 3 years.

Interesting, St Christopher to Georgetown Prep was honorable mention all state as a jr fogo, for private independent schools.

Generals put it all together this evening, kudos to all on the defensive side of the ball. De Cain had another good outing and Spano once he got warm denied Roanoke the ball, winning 17/25 at 68%. Not all face offs are the same and when Roanoke had a little run he went on a roll. Winning to himself over 50% set him up for a great score as well. The Ssdm group with Cohen,AlbregtsBrennan and Reed are outstanding. When does Beatty get back? The D held a pretty potent offense to 11 goals Noke’s second lowest total ( 10 against Mary Washington )of the year. This is 7 straight which is hard to do. Holding the Kammermans and Docking 3 top scorers to 4 pts is outstanding (they totaled 17 shots only 2 goals). Total turnovers for W&L was 8 which I can guarantee is a low without looking. Good to see Burns out there hard to tell from the webcast if he’s 100%, he certainly had a strong night tonight. Hopefully the Generals can take this win and build on it. Nice game by Elliot

Dehunt, I read this last night in the ODAC thread and here it is now in the W&L thread. Why? Will it go in the York thread next. Come on, this is silly. I just don't understand the need to double post. Anyways......

Generals played a very good close defensive game last night. Luke K. went scoreless, not sure he is still injured or not, looked fine to me live but great job by the close defense, was the difference in the game. Noke scored most of its goals, one on one, believe they had 2 assists. We are missing Colin Beatty. However, the group of 4 sharing the load had a very good game last night. Spano righted the ship in the second half, and the intensity of the wingers on faceoffs was awesome. Jack Elliott had a career night, 5 goals, great job Number 5. Big interstate game on Saturday at CNU, they will be favored.

CNU has fared better against common opponents, but also has one more loss including a bad one to Williams. But overall I don't think is a given that W&L is the favorite, especially at CNU. W&L seems to have more momentum right now, CNU has more high-end playmakers. I'd call it a push.

I think this game will tell us a lot about where both teams are at heading into playoffs. Should be a close, fun one!

[W&Lacrosse75]

It appears that, in addition to Beatty, Allen, Barringer, and Mannino are out. Are all of these guys out for the season? I’m just grateful that Burns and Ott are back and that the team has the depth to at least partially fill the gaps.

[Dehuntshigwa’es]

If anyone is favored it’s CNU. They have won 3 in a row, hammered common opponents( except Lynchburg) can match the Generals at the dot, have tremendous experience with all the additional 5th years. They also have a player named Andrew Cook midfielder of the year last season with over 70 pts and possibly the player of the year this season. This is a very good CNU team and not someone you’d want to face early in May unless you are Salisbury. Hope it’s a good game and Generals come out healthy, a win would be great….At this point the ODAC tournament is the most important part of the season

I indicated that CNU will be favored, so I agree with you. I think CNU's midfield will be the difference.

At the game last night, Allen and Mannino were walking around on the sidelines, Mannino had a brace on his knee. Did not see Beatty or Barringer but they could have been in street clothes.

Congratulations to Jack Elliot. Fantastic game.

[Dehuntshigwa’es]

Andrew Cook, the breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert player who does it all, with 250 career pts, the last 3 years, is a force. Very curious what his playing time as well as others on the Captains squad will be in this contest. Have to believe the table is set for them for the NCAA tournament. They are focused on their conference tournament, getting the AQ and ruining the Gulls shot at a perfect season. A win would be nice for the General’s resume and ranking for the tournament. Hoping to see some players back

[W&Lacrosse75]

Any idea if W&L will see the return of any of the key injured players for CNU or the remainder of the season? If not, it seems like an unusually long list of “out for the season” that have accrued this year.
