Coyotes on the attack

The LC Houston 2025/26 Coyotes competed in the Wild Card Tournament in Lewisville. The elementary school-aged boys are fairly new to lacrosse, but their athletic talent, combined with coaching, resulted in a strong showing at the tournament. The boys learned quickly and were tough competitors against more experienced tournament teams that play year round. Coaches Joey Gauss and Drew Tingleaf were helped by 3D Lacrosse master coaches Chris Harren, Paul Kirkaldy, Dan Jeannotte and Nick Fersen. The Coyotes are (top row, from left) coach Joey Gauss, Mason Riddle, Jake Lovoi, Scotty Eckert, Chase Nguyen, Kenneth Owen, Jackson Schwieder, Luke Duffield, Cooper Gregory, Forrest Balette, Mac Barrow, Ben Robishaw, Jack Borgen, Drew Long and coach Drew Tingleaf; (bottom row, from left) Jackson Maddox, Hunter Williams, Zach Christie, Nathan Horn, Anderson Dihn, Hayden Halaska and Justin Stubbs.
