2011 Season Fall Camp is around the corner-How to make the varsity team

Want to play RHS Varsity Lacrosse???  Here's some tips...
1.  Be agressive:  In everything lacrosse be agressive.  Be hungry and possitive about any and every opportunity to play lacrosse.  Love the game.  Don't let it overtake your life, but make it a top priority.

2.  Be a student of the game:  Learn it.  In Utah, LAX is still a small sport; you have to go out of your way to learn more about it.  Varsity players make time and earn the money to go to camps and off-season leagues.  A big factor in making the team is whether you took the initiative to play Mamaci, go to camps and play 7's.  There are countless of off-season ways to get better.

3.  Be a player:  It's a no brainer...kids who play basketball, volleyball or run cross-country are better lacrosse players...end of story.

4.  Be the Stick:  You won't play Varsity if you can't catch and throw the ball accurately, completing passes and catches on a very high level.  You should be able to play with your weak-side hand.

5.  Be educated:  Bad grades = No Lax

LADY WOLVES move on to STATES!

UT GIRLS: ULA Semifinals: Riverton Blows Out Olympus, 16-6

Senior middie Peyton Evans scored a game-high six goals to lead Riverton to a 16-6 victory over Olympus in a Utah Lacrosse Association Division I semifinal Tuesday afternoon at Juan Diego Catholic High School.

Junior middie Emily Newman added five points on three goals and two assists, senior attack Kenzie Billings finished with four points on three goals and one assist and senior attack Kait Knaras scored three goals to help the Silverwolves (12-2) advance to the state championship game for the first time in school history.

Riverton will next face defending state champion Alta on Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m., MDT, at Viewmont High School. Alta dealt Riverton its only two losses of the season, 19-7, on March 16 and, 20-7, on April 8.

“Transitions are going to be big for us,” Riverton head coach David Oka said. “They are the juggernaut of the league, but if we play like we played today, we’ll be fine.”

Indeed, Riverton brought its best game to Tuesday’s semifinal, blowing out an Olympus team that was slightly favored.

Junior middie Camie Oka rounded out Riverton’s offense with a goal and an assist, and senor goalie Megan McCleary saved six shots.

Olympus finished the season 12-2.

Riverton outscored Olympus 8-3 in both halves.

“We put it all together in one game,” David Oka said. “It was a great win for us. I’m really happy about it and happy for the girls.”


Knaras and Newman will showcase their skills at the League All-Star Game

Senior attack Kait Knaras and Junior Middie Emily Newman have been chosen to play in the end of the year All-Star game this friday before the state championship game on Saturday.  "They deserve it", Coach says, "They have been a huge part of what we do and are true all-stars.  Unfortunately, I'm hoping they won't play much due to States on Saturday, but it will be fun for them".

ULA HONORS RIVERTON PLAYERS:

Congratulations to the following Riverton Players for these huge honors:

Peyton Evans: 
MVP Offensive Player of the Year
All-American
1st Team All State-Midfield
Coaches Comments, "I said it before, she's thee best player in the state of Utah, now the other coaches admit it too.  The best thing about it...it doesn't change who she is...she's the same Peyton"

Alexa Ferdig
1st Team All-State Defense
All-American Honorable Mention
Coaches Comments, "An absolute one-on-one beast of a player.  She dedicated herself early in this position and now it's paying off.  She'll be awesome at Westminster.  A born leader and loved by her teamates".

Megan McCleary
2nd Team All-State Goalie
Coaches Comments, " If she has a great game or not so great game it doesn't matter, Megan is always happy, always smiling, NEVER gets down.  That's the sign of maturity and unconditional unselfishness from a goalie.  I see other goalies throwing helmets and crying, putting their feelings before the team...Never from Megan.  She is rock solid.  She also stops goals at the most critical times.  Coaches around the league agree she has a canon of an arm and the most accurate clears".

Callee Frampton
2nd Team All-State Defense
Coaches Comments, "We've been working with Callee on her agressiveness and overall grit.  It's against her nature.  After a couple of yellow cards due to dangerous checks, I think she kind of likes it.  I don't advocate dirty play, but I tell my players, that if they don't get penalties now and again, they're not trying.  Leading the team with 20 plus forced turn-overs, Callee has had her break out year.  Now it's up to her to take it as far as she wants." 

Kenzie Billings
2nd Team All-State Offense
Coaches Comments, "A very athletic player, Kenz never turnsover or drops the ball.  She is very dependable.  If the games on the line, I'm happy with the ball in her hands to make a play for herself or others.  A well deserved award."

Peyton considers herself a defensive midfielder as seen here in a Mamaci game against BYU, but she happens to be one of the most prolific scorers in the league.
