Outlook: “The 2022 BASH Boys lacrosse team brings back many returning varsity players from the 2021 season. We hope to control the tempo of games at the face off X, and with an experienced offense keep possession of the ball. On defense we have great depth and experience that will allow us to play fast and physical. Our goals are to compete for a PAC-12 championship and earn a spot in the district 1 play off bracket. The team has been working hard throughout the off-season in the weight room and on the field and we are excited to see their work ethic pay off. They are a gritty, hungry bunch of young men.”
