PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa. – Nicholas Radford said he competed in Friday’s Liberty Bell Challenge individual showcase at Plymouth Whitemarsh to pursue his dream.

Nicholas Radford (Team Carolina)

“Lacrosse is my passion and I hope to play at the next level so I came out here to pursue my dreams,” said the 2017 midfielder from Team Carolina and Charlotte Country Day.

Radford was one of 276 players in the classes of 2016-19 that participated in the kickoff event of the inaugural showcase weekend for the Passport Alliance before more than 50 college coaches. Twelve club programs will compete today and Sunday in a high school and youth-aged team tournament at Germantown Academy and Upper Dublin.

Radford also answered these questions:

How did you adjust to the competition?
Radford: “Everybody has strengths; there are some good shooters and some good dodgers and you have to watch the competition and be on your toes.”

What did you learn from the event?
Radford: “It’s really all about fundamentals. We don’t know each other and there are no plays so you have to get groundballs and get every pass. Every possession is an opportunity to score and may mean the difference in winning or losing.”

What are your college goals?
Radford: “I am mainly looking at academics. I know a lot of kids a couple years above me who went D1 and they were really good players that never stepped on the field. I want to go somewhere where I can play and not be on the bench.”

Other players that shined Friday:

Nick Heiler (Duke’s L.C.)

Nick Heiler, 2017 FO/MF, Lansadale Catholic (PA), Duke’s L.C.

What were your goals for the event?
Heiler: “I wanted to get looked out by some college coaches wanted and to win a lot of faceoffs. I did that happy; I was with my play.”

How did you adjust to the competition?
Heiler: “It was really good all day and they challenged me to the end.”

What did you learn from the event (he had to take every faceoff for his team in each game)?
Heiler: “I drank all day and kept hydrated and stayed in the shade when I could. I learned to keep on trying. I feel off a little, but kept on going.”

What are you college goals?

Adam Galovich (Duke’s L.C.)

Heiler: “I just want a school that is interested in me.”

Adam Galovich, 2017 DEF, Seneca Valley (PA), Dukes L.C.

What were your goals for the event?
Galovich: “I thought I did pretty well. I told some colleges that I would be here and I really came out trying to impress them and other colleges that may fit my future.”

How did you adjust to the competition?
Galovich: “the competition was really good; it was probably the best showcase I have ever been to. I had to play very smart since I had never played with any of these kids. I had to keep talking and to learn how everybody played.”

What did you learn from the event?
Galovich: “Teamwork goes a long way. You come in here not having seen anyone before. Since everybody out here is a good player, you have to just play smart, play loud and play hard.”

What are your college goals?
Galovich: “I want the school to be strong academically and I don’t want to go somewhere and not play until my junior or senior year.”

Garritt Schwarz, 2017 ATT, Maclay (FL), Rock Lacrosse-MD

Garrit Schwarz (Rock Lacrosse)

What were your goals for the event?
Schwarz: “I wanted to get looked at by coaches and get to know a bunch of the guys.”

How did you adjust to the competition?
Schwarz: “It was really good competition and lot of fun. At first we didn’t know each other that well but by the third game we knew each other and played a lot better. We had some good teamwork and became friendly with each other.”

What did you learn from the event?
Schwarz: “You just got to play smart and not force as much. The game is a lot faster so I had to slow myself down.”

What are your college goals?
Schwarz: “I am not sure yet so I am looking for whatever colleges are interested in me.”

Milo Navarro 2018 ATT, Academy Of The New Church (PA), Duke’s L.C/Bucks Select

Milo Navarro (Dukes L.C.)

What were your goals?
Navarro: “I came in wanting to work hard and improve on the skills I have been focusing on all summer. I wanted to work on dodging down the alley and I felt I improved on that.”

How was the competition?
Navarro: “There were some good players and you had to work with everyone. With the better players, I got to see what I had to work on the most.”

What did you learn about your game?
Navarro: “I need to be more aggressive and dodge more often.”

What are your college goals?
Navarro: “I’m looking for a good education first.”

Andrew Caples, 2018 DEF, McDonogh School (MD), Rock Lacrosse

What were your goals for the showcase?

Andrew Caples (Rock Lacrosse)

Caples: “I wanted to come in today and go hard and hustle and show what I have. I wanted to work on my 1-on-1 plays and I think I did pretty well today.”

How was the competition?
Caples: “The competition was really good and I always have a lot of fun playing with new guys and getting to know them. Over the first couple games you get to know people’s playing styles and you get to make some friends at the same time.”

What did you learn about your game?
Caples: “Obviously, a lot of guys out here will probably be some of the better guys we’ll see this weekend. I kind of got a feel for the competition for the rest of the weekend.”

What are your college goals?
Caples: “I am looking for a college where I can get a good education, maybe Ivy or Patriot League.”

FT. WASHINGTON, Pa. – The CT Chargers 2018 squad improved to 3-0 in pool play today with a 7-5 victory over Team Carolina as action heated up in the inaugural Liberty Bell Challenge at Germantown Academy.

Peter Ripperger (CT Chargers)

The Duke’s Lacrosse Club (PA) also stayed perfect at 3-0 with a 14-1 rout of Team Long Island II. Last week the Dukes fell to Team Long Island I in the finals of the National 175 Best of the Best; this week Team LI I (3-0) also figures to contend for the title along with Sweet Lax (3-0).

The 12-team tournament of the Passport Alliance concludes tomorrow in all classes (2016-19) at Germantown Academy. A smaller youth tourney for the classes of 2020 to 2023 is also being played at nearby Upper Dublin.

The CT Chargers rallied from a 5-4 halftime deficit against Team Carolina as goalie Peter Ripperger (Brien McMahon High) did not allow a second-half goal. The Chargers also downed Evolve (Canada), 11-6, and Twist (PA), 9-2.

“We just want our defense to play strong and our face-off guys controlled it at the X,” said Ripperger. “I think we made a few adjustments and our face-off guys got us possession and we finished the goals.

“It’s good to go undefeated on the first day and go into the playoffs. I like the teams in the tournament and it’s good competition.”

Tanner Long (Duke’s L.C.)

The Dukes also gained wins over Orange Crush (N.Y.), 8-4, and Evolve, 10-2.

“I think we’re really jelling together this weekend,” said Dukes defenseman Tanner Long (Germantown Academy). “Defensively, we play aggressively and offensively we were moving the ball around and finishing all our shots.”

Long said it was important to win a title in his hometown.

“It will definitely make a statement if we win this, to prove we are one of the top teams in the country,” he said., “We believe that and try to show that every day.

“It’s exciting. It’s our hometown tournament I guess, so we feel right at home.”

From US Lacrosse

US Lacrosse today announced the winners of the 2015 US Lacrosse High School Boys’ Bob Scott award winners. Individuals were selected from within their geographic areas throughout the nation.

Named in honor of the legendary coach at Johns Hopkins University, the Bob Scott Award recognizes a player from each geographic area who goes ‘above and beyond’ in service to his team, school, and community.

The US Lacrosse Men’s Game Coaches Subcommittee manages the awards and recognition program, which is administered locally by volunteers who serves as area chairmen. The subcommittee, through these area chairmen, oversees the selection of the award winners.

In addition to the Bob Scott Award and boys’ players named as All-Americans and All-Academic honorees (announced on July 1), US Lacrosse also selects winners of the Coach of the Year, Assistant Coach of the Year and Man of the Year. Those selections will be announced later this month.

Note: Some local areas have not reported their Bob Scott Award selections to date and are not included in this initial announcement of winners. New entries will be added as the local selections are received.

From US Lacrosse

Watching the game, it’s highly likely that you might never notice.

He scoops ground balls, makes crisp passes and has an accurate shot. He plays hard and prides himself on his defense and hustle. He looks like any of the other talented players competing at this weekend’s US Lacrosse U15 Boys’ National Championships at River City Sportsplex in Midlothian, Va.

And that’s why you may not notice that midfielder Miles Moscato of the 3d Select National team only has one arm. Yup, you read that correctly. He plays lacrosse with a left arm that ends just below the elbow.

Not that it bothers Miles. He was born this way. Just like in other areas of his life, he’s made the necessary adjustments to be an effective lacrosse player.

“I use a lot more deception with my body instead of using stick fakes,” Moscato said. “I play a lot more like a Canadian. I spent a lot of time on YouTube watching how they play.”

Moscato, who lives in West Linn, Oregon, began playing when he was in the third grade, although he admits that he wanted to give up the game after the first year because it seemed so difficult.

With the encouragement of his parents, he stuck with it and evolved his skills to the point that he earned a spot on the varsity as a 9th-grader this past year at West Linn High School. He will proudly tell you that West Linn finished 18-4 and claimed the Oregon state championship last month.

And now, he’s in Richmond, trying to haul in a second championship in a span of eight weeks.

“Miles is a real competitor who likes to test himself,” said 3d coach Matt Rowley. “He doesn’t want to be coached any differently than any other player. He’s got the same expectations and wants to master the same skills.”

Moscato and his 3d Select teammates finished 2-1 in pool play on Friday and earned the number six seed for in the single-elimination championship bracket, which begins Saturday morning. 3d Select faces number 11 seed New Jersey South Saturday at 9:30 a.m.

Four teams finished with perfect 3-0 records in pool play, with Long Island Jesters 2018 Black claiming the number one seed based on the first tie-breaker of fewest goals allowed. The Jesters outscored their three opponents, 30-8, on Friday.

“Our face off guys did a great job and got us a lot of possessions today,” said coach Ken Gibbons. “So we had a lot of time on offense.”

One of the benefits of having the top seed is that the Jesters will also having a later starting time Saturday, not taking the field for their first game until 11 a.m.

“The kids were all firmly aware of that fact,” Gibbons joked. “They like sleeping in.”

Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), For the Love of the Game 2018 (FLG) and Long Island Express 2018 were the other unbeaten teams and round out the top four seeds.
