..."Longmeadow is soaring and looks like one of the top teams in the state. Their last two wins come in impressive fashion with a lopsided 13-3 result against state power Algonquin and a convincing 10-4 verdict over Jake Cupak and the Westfield Bombers on Monday afternoon. Zach Lukas and Keegan Dudeck lead the Lancer's balanced offensive attack with 25 points apiece and Reid Leveillee continues to show why he is an elite defender. The Lancers haven't been truly tested since a 12-11 overtime win against Pinkerton Academy (NH) on April 13th. Tomorrow evening's contest against South Hadley will have a lot to say about the remainder of the regular season for Longmeadow. Games against Medfield, St. Johns Shrewsbury, and a rematch with a presumably healthy Amherst-Pelham squad still remain."...
Attack/D-
"Balance is the key with this squad. Kevin Barry leads the attack and is very good around the cage, often using his size to come from x. Nothing the Lancers do offensively, from an individual standpoint, is insanely impressive. That's not a knock on their ability, its a testament to their coaching and their ability to understand and run a system. It's methodical and insanely hard to defend. Reid Leveillee has been nothing short of outstanding in his junior campaign and Jack Ryan has been a nice compliment. Matt Draymore mans the cage for the Lancers and hasn't been wildly impressive, however, he hasn't had to do a whole lot with a very, very impressive defense in front of him."
