Dominating the season

Zach Berlin, Tyler Shanley, and Cade Lium (pictured, from left) work together to bring the ball down the field in a game with the Presbyterian School boys lacrosse team. Even with many players who were new to the sport, the Panthers were undefeated in the regular season and won the Houston Junior Preparatory Conference (HJPC) championship. The winning season started with a victory over St. John’s School and was followed up by wins over Annunciation Orthodox School, River Oaks Baptist School, and The Kinkaid School, averaging more than 11 goals per game. Senior captain Bennett Hendricks was the lead scorer throughout the season, and first-year lacrosse player Graham Allen held off the competition as goalie.
