With the 2025 boy’s lacrosse season in the books, it’s time now to start looking towards the offseason in Montgomery County. Five teams each won their respective divisions, with one doing so for the first time in its school’s history, while another just continues to dominate. In this article, I will give a brief outlook into the offseason for each division winner, highlighting top players departing/returning, and get an overall feel as to where things stand now and moving forward. I also spoke with the head coaches from each team to get further insight. With that, here is the offseason lookout for Montgomery County Boy’s Lacrosse.

First team All-County selection Mark Henry led the Rams to their first regional championship in school history, pacing the team in goals (57) and points (77). Henry also led the team in groundballs, scooping up 72. A few other notable players this past season were Shaun McMahon (team leading 29 assists), Ronan Campbell (61% FO%), and defensemen Ethan Zhu and Dillon Estabrook (36 and 32 forced turnovers, respectively). Each of them made the All-Division team, as well as attackers Mason Willard (63PTS) and Cameron Wong (19G/19A), midfielders Adam Latham (41GB) and Will Bamba (12PTS), defenseman Aarav Kapilashirami (26GB/12FT) and Carson Tusing (15GB/7FT), and goalie Luke Fensterstock (8W/96 SV/.549 SV%). Although Willard and Wong return on the offensive end, it’s the defense that really has head coach David Haines excited. “Our defense is going to be a defense that will be able to match up man for man with every team in our division.” Zhu, Estabrook, Jacob Chin, and Kapilashirami (who they call AK or Aarav) will be the four leaders that will be able to go one-on-one with anyone and “shut them down.” The recent success of the program has also led to an uptick in interest within Rockville, especially at middle school. “We had 16 kids sign up who're interested in playing lacrosse; last year there were two.” The varsity team was also the biggest that they had had and the JV was also bigger compared to previous seasons. “The good problem will be going to the administration and saying we need more equipment. And we've never had to do that before.” Things like that are what make winning your first regional championship in school history so beneficial and so rewarding; because now local kids can see what is possible, and because of that, those kids will want to be a part of that.

First recorded playoff for MPSSAA LAX is in the books. I normally slice the videos down to about 15-17 minutes. However, this battle was epic and so the YT vid is about 27 minutes long. Both teams came out swinging and Laurel took a good lead in the first half. Near halftime, the Gladiators started to cut down the Spartans lead. The same happened until the fourth quarter and it was Northwood who led by one. Laurel tied the game sending the game in to overtime. Northwood sealed the deal with a goal under 3 minutes left in OT. It was a tough loss and great victory handled with class from BOTH teams. First BIG THANK YOU to LAUREL ATHLETICS, who has always been hospitable to MFV, from the fans, leaders, coaches, and players. SHOUTS to the SPARTANS, keep shining as you have already done. BIG CONGRATS to the GLADIATORS, much success to you in the next round. Enjoy the highlights!!!!

On May 2, the Titans dominated against the Kennedy Cavaliers with a 27-2 score It was senior night for the Einstein Titans, in celebration of a total of 16 Seniors for their performances and personality they bring for the team. These seniors made sure they left their mark in their last regular season game. The Titans entered the 1st quarter with full aggressiveness, ending up with a total of 13 goals scored in the 1st quarter. #7 Lucien Johnson was seen playing with the weak Kennedy Defense, scoring 6 goals in the 1st and securing back to back hat tricks. Kennedy would score two goals early but the deficit continued to grow going from 4 to 11 in quick minutes. 7 out of the 8 players who scored were all seniors but #18 Charlie Kushmider, a humorous pattern. The quarter ended with a 13-2 Titan Domination. It grew much worse for Kennedy as the 2nd quarter started. The Titans continued to stay strong in making sure the lead grew even longer. Mercy Rule did not apply for the Titans as it only goes into effect in the 2nd half. Johnson put in more blast to continue the strong lead, scoring the opening goal in the 2nd quarter.The Titans scored 6 more additional goals with the entire quarter staying in Kennedy territory, with goalie True Hawkins having no worries. #2 Johnathan Windt scored two strong long shot goals, then hitting a celebratory backflip once he gained the hat-trick. The first half ended 20-2. The Mercy rule finally started as the 2nd half started but remained much quieter for the Titans. Substitutes entered the game for the Titan with little starters staying in Play. #11 Donovan Carnell started the 2nd half with two additional goals as the half started and was the 3rd senior player of the game to achieve a hat trick. Kennedy only took 1 shot in the 3rd as the defense struggled in allowing Johnson to record his 8th goal of the game. The quarter ended with a 23-2 Titan blowout. The 4th quarter only remained with JV bump ups getting their playtime for Einstein and Kennedy playing for good morale. #8 Evan Vonkerczeck scored his first varsity goal near the 4:30 mark. Vonkerczeck later scored a highlight reel spin move shot seconds later. Windt’s brother, #25 AJ Windnt also scored along with his brother and hit the same backflip move his brother performed. The final regular game season drained out for the seniors with a final score of 27-2 with an Einstein Victory. The Titans finish the season with an 8-4 record as the Kennedy Cavaliers finish the heart-crushing season winless with a 0-12 record.
