"Bearcat's Lacrosse Teams Win's the Stickhead 7-on-7 Tournament"
The KCD Varsity lacrosse team began their fall season by entering the Stickhead Fall Brawl 7x7 Lacrosse Tournament held at Tom Sawyer Park. It was a 3 to 4 game schedule with 2 divisions. Participating schools included St. Xavier, Trinity, CAL, Oldham, Male, Ballard, and others.
KCD opened the tournament against Male and in short order, had a significant lead by the end of the first half and followed through with a win by the score of 15 – 9.
A few hours later, KCD played Oldham and had a 5 – 0 lead within the first few minutes of play. The final score was 18 – 3.
Shortly thereafter, KCD played Ballard in the semi finals. KCD dominated the game and won by a final score of 17 – 4.
The final championship game was between KCD and CAL. KCD was behind by two goals in the first few minutes which was the first time they were behind in the tournament. KCD roared back to one of their strongest performances of the tournament and led 6 – 2 prior to halftime. KCD also scored three goals within 2 minutes of the second half to prevent CAL from attempting a comeback. The final score was 25 – 11.
This was truly representative of a strong team effort with contributions by all players. It’s interesting to note that our veteran defenseman also scored at least 4 goals in the tournament. Many freshmen scored multiple times and showed strong defensive skills. The veterans showed significant improvement from last year and KCD was without 5 veterans during the tournament. The varsity team was also somewhat handicapped as a few members of the team played a JV football game earlier in the day and were not at full strength.
Finally, this wouldn’t have been possible without our coach and assistants who were consistently mentoring and coaching our players and the faithful spectators and parents on the sideline supporting the coaches and team.
Congratulations KCD Varsity Lacrosse Bearcats on winning the Stickhead Fall Brawl 7x7 Lacrosse Tournament!

4/16/09 vs. CAL
Boys’ varsity lacrosse team win over CAL firmly places them in 1st place in the Division and a top 4 team in the state.

David Smith led the scoring with Russell Leggett with 3 goals each.  Russell’s 3 goals are a new personal record and the team is very excited about his continued scoring.  Pierce Hollan also set a personal scoring record with 2 goals while Stephen Lash, Austin Altman, Michael Worthington, and Cameron Harter scored 1 goal each.
KCD’s ground ball performance was stellar.  Michael Worthington, Russell Leggett, Austin Altman, David Smith, and Chase Bennett all recorded personal bests while Ryan Scinta continued to record one of the highest totals.

4/11/09 vs. Sayre
Boys’ varsity lacrosse team continues win streak with win over Sayre

The KCD varsity lacrosse team won a close game against Sayre High School – a top ten team in the state.   The final score was 6-5 and KCD never led by more than two goals. 
Sayre’s defense was spectacular and prevented KCD’s high scoring offense from breaking the game open. 
Ryan Scinta had an excellent game with 3 goals and 14 ground balls to lead the Bearcats.  Austin Altman, Russell Leggett, and Stephen Lash each contributed 1 goal each.  The ground ball effort was also supported through Austin Altman, Michael Worthington, and Howie Vogt’s efforts. 
Michael Worthington was also spectacular in the face off are as he won 11 of his 14 face offs.  
Although Eddie Crawford only recorded 4 saves, his saves were at critical times and with the support of the defense and primarily Howie Vogt, held Sayre in their last efforts to tie the game. 
The KCD Bearcats will next play CAL in a divisional game which could impact the state playoff schedule.

3/23/09 vs. Manual

3/7 -3/8/09
Boys’ varsity lacrosse team record decisive wins over prominent Nashville, Tennessee area lacrosse teams  

The KCD varsity lacrosse team, the morning following a tough loss to Trinity, traveled to Franklin, Tennessee to play two of the top ranked teams in the Nashville area.  KCD first beat the former Tennessee Division II champions, the Centennial High School Bulldogs 11 – 6. 

Although Centennial took a 2-0 lead early in the first quarter, KCD scored 4 straight goals and never relinquished the lead from that point.  Ryan Scinta led the scoring effort with 7 goals.  Ryan’s strong effort earned him the KCD record for most individual goals scored in a single game.  Cameron Harter scored 2 goals with Austin Altman and Stephen Lash contributing 1 goal each.

Although the recent Trinity game was the Bearcats’ best team performance to date, the Bearcats recorded a record 66 ground balls against Centennial.  Cameron Harter led the ground ball recovery effort with 12 ground balls and Michael Worthington and Bart Hemminger each recorded 9 ground balls each. 

The following day, KCD defeated the 7th ranked Division I team in Tennessee, the Franklin Rebels, 10-4.  The Bearcats’ performance was a strong team effort with contributions by all players.  David Smith and Michael Worthington lead the scoring effort with 3 goals and 1 assist each.  Ryan Scinta scored 1 goal and 3 assists while Cameron Harter scored 2 goals.  

The Bearcat’s defensive efforts were very strong as they virtually shut down the Rebel offense in the second half.  The Bearcats ground ball recovery performance was led by Ryan Scinta with 12 ground balls, David Smith with 5 and Austin Altman with 4.  A total of 50 ground balls were recorded by KCD.  Eddie Crawford recorded 9 saves in his second start of the year after returning from injury.  


3/6/09 vs. Trinity
Boys’ varsity lacrosse team loses close game to former State Champions Trinity Shamrocks

The KCD varsity lacrosse team lost to the former state champions Trinity Shamrocks by the score of 8-7.  This closely contested game saw 5 or more lead changes with KCD leading Trinity at halftime and with 8 minutes left in the game.    Trinity scored two goals by the 4 minute mark and took the lead 8-7.  KCD responded with 6 shots on goal by Cameron Harter and Austin Altman within the next two minutes left to play that barely missed their mark and were saved by the Trinity goalie.  Trinity held on to the ball from the two minute mark and KCD was unable to gain possession for a final shot.   Many spectators commented that this was one of the most exciting lacrosse games they’ve seen.

This game by far was the Bearcats’ best team performance to date. Although Trinity scored the first two goals, the Bearcats roared back as a result of spectacular goal by Defenseman Howie Vogt who covered the entire field to take the shot on goal.   Ryan Scinta, David Smith, and Michael Worthington contributed with two goals each.    
The Bearcat’s defensive efforts were also spectacular as they clearly contained Trinity’s high powered offense.  The Bearcats ground ball recovery performance was led by Michael Worthington with 10 ground balls and Russell Leggett with 6.  Eddie Crawford recorded a record 16 saves in his first start of the year after returning from injury.  

3/4/09 vs. Eastern
Boys’ varsity lacrosse team off to promising start 

Congratulations to the KCD varsity lacrosse team, who recorded a decisive 12-6 win over Eastern in their second game to improve their record to 2-0.   
The Bearcats’ performance was similar to their opening game with major contributions by numerous players.   David Smith lead the scoring effort for the second week with 5 goals and 5 assists.  David’s efforts resulted in a new KCD record in individual points scored in a single game.  Cameron Harter scored 4 goals and 2 assists while Ryan Scinta scored 2 goals and 2 assists in support of the Bearcats.  The Bearcats offense generated a 3-0 lead within minutes of the first quarter and recorded a 9-4 lead at halftime.   
The Bearcat’s ground ball efforts were impressive, too as Michael Worthington recorded 12 ground balls while Ryan Scinta recorded 8 ground balls.  The Bearcats ground ball recovery performance doubled that of Eastern.  The Bearcats defensive efforts were equally impressive as they held off a very aggressive Eastern team.  For the second week in a row, rookie freshman goalie, Joey Balbach, replacing injured Eddie Crawford, recorded 8 saves for a new personal record.
