Gardiner lacrosse meshing well

The Gardiner Area High School boys lacrosse team found out a thing or two about itself Friday morning after a 10-2 victory over rival Oak Hill.

“We realized we can score,” said Zoe Fisk, scored two goals.

The Tigers (2-0-0) can score. And in bunches, too. They have 21 goals in two games thanks to a pair of talented midfield lines.

“Our lines are real solid,” said Jake Wright, who also scored a pair. “We’re meshing really well.”

Wright, Eldridge and Jordan Grant play on one line while Fisk, Jason Ledoux and Garrett Benson play on the other.

“Our goal was to come out and send a message that we are the team to beat in the (Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference,” Fisk said. “We’re focused and we’re ready to play.”

Added Grant: “I think we can do this every game if we run our offense.”

Coach KC Johnson certainly likes what he sees so far.

“We possess the ball really well,” he said, “but our decision-making still can get better. I do like our tenacity, though.”
