This is one of a series of previews for the 2022 scholastic lacrosse season
Wilmington Friends School
League: Delaware Independent School Conference (DISC)
Head Coach: Jake Rashkind (19th season) 183-106
Assistant Coaches: Kevin Grubb, Miles Katzen, Lee Powers, Lou Salvadori
2021: 8-7 – a team of largely freshman and sophomores fought their way back to the state tournament.
Key players to watch: Jackson Redd (Jr. Attack), Kevin Dolan (So. Midfield), Cole Morris (Sr. Midfield), Jake Bryson (Jr. LSM), Tyler Maheshwari (So. Defense)
Others to watch: Nick Winchell (So. Attack), A.P. Rossi (Sr. Mid), Don Morton (Sr. Mid), Phil Crock (Jr. FO), Xingyu Wang (So. Goalie), RJ Toogood (Sr. Attack/Mid), Quinn Green (So. Defense)
Coach’s Outlook for 2022: “The Quakers look to take another step forward this season, with a young but talented offense led by shifty Junior Attackman Jackson Redd, midfielders Cole Morris, Kevin Dolan, and A.P. Rossi. The defense looks to improve in front of its young goalie, (So. XIngyu Wang), with junior LSM Jake Bryson helping to anchor a young, but athletic group of defenders.
“The Quakers face a tough conference schedule, but are optimistic that these challenges will prepare them to advance further in the state playoffs in 2022.”
