Taking a look at what the news outlets are reporting on high school lacrosse in the state.
Dexter 13, Canton 6.
Jake Waldrup and Cameron Rooks scored five and three goals, respectively, to lead Dexter. Teammates Andy McDonagh and Ian Weisenberg each added two goals and had two assists.
Lapeer West 7, Davison 6. Lapeer West’s three-goal fourth quarter ultimately earned them the win.
Saginaw Heritage 16, Bay City Central 3. Dominic Scola and Matthew Harrison had three apiece for Heritage.
Ann Arbor Huron 15, Temperance Bedford 0.
Chelsea 20, Romulus 4. Five goals and three assists for Chelsea’s Colt DeVries. Nice day.
Walled Lake Central 13, Walled Lake Northern 10. Central rallied from a 5-3 halftime deficit to score 10 in the second half.
Portage Northern 14, Holland 6. Four multi-goal scorers for Portage Northern.
Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard 11, Flint Powers 7.
“They pressured us like every other team had pressured us on defense,” Flint Powers Catholic coach Chuck Vierk said. “They outhustled us on ground balls, and that’s a huge factor in who wins the game. They got a lot of second opportunities, and that ended up killing us over the long haul.”
Holland Christian 7, Northview 6. Zach Wiersma scored five for Holland Christian.
Portage Central 10, Vicksburg 2.
“For a second-year varsity squad to play an even second half against arguably the best squad in southwest Michigan is a moral victory for us,” Vicksburg coach Dan Mills said.
Eh, “their backups aren’t that much better than us!” doesn’t strike me as super-encouraging. Vicksburg will continue improving as the program ages, though.
East Grand Rapids 13, Forest Hills Eastern/Northern 3. Unexpected domination by an EGR team that looks like it’s rounding into form.
Grand Haven 11, Caledonia 4. Matt Burns had an eight-point day for Grand Haven.
Rockford 21, Holland West Ottawa 2.
Grand Rapids Catholic Central 12, Zeeland 7. High-scoring day for GRCC, led by a six-goal output from Matt Pfenning.
Grand Rapids Christian 12, Spring Lake 8. Coach Andy Sharp’s team takes down that of his brother, Doug.
Clarkston 11, Farmington 0. Wolves goalie Adam Gohl (side note: this is a great name for a goalie) stopped seven shots to preserve the shutout.
Mattawan 14, Portage Northern 0. Portage Northern was riddled with injuries. NO EXCUSES, coach.
Ann Arbor Pioneer 18, Ann Arbor Skyline 5.
Dexter 21, Ypsilanti Lincoln 1. Odds that Dexter’s starters played the entire game? I’m going with 95%.
Ann Arbor Greenhills 17, Romulus 4.
Tecumseh 20, Ypsilanti 6. Matt Scheffler and Shane Lewandowski both scored five for Tecumseh, and Scheffler added three assists.
Lapeer West 8, Bay City Western 0. Junior Trevor Krehel had a goal and four assists.
Detroit Catholic Central 6, Utica Eisenhower 5.
With the sky growing darker and darker, Catholic Central had to come back from two one-goal deficits to outlast the previously unbeaten Utica Eisenhower for a 6-5 win, escaping before lighting [sic] started to paint the sky.
Drama. Second article.
Caledonia 15, Spring Lake 8. Jonathan Mirque scored five goals to lead Caledonia.
Grand Rapids Catholic Central 15, Lowell 6. GRCC turned on the jets in the second half after leading by only one at the break.
Holland Christian 11, Grand Rapids Christian 9.
Chelsea 7, Ypsilanti Lincoln 6 (OT). Truman Hadley notched the game-winner.
Howell 9, Walled Lake Central 8.
Dexter 14, Tecumseh 3.
Jake Waldrup led Dexter with nine points. He scored seven goals and assisted on two.
For a program that very obviously has a system when a new guy can step up each year and take the reins, I just find it so bizarre they don’t give the younger guys a chance in blowouts to build some depth. At the end of the day, I guess they’re happier killing younger programs, and getting the same treatment from those who are more established.
Ann Arbor Skyline 3, Ann Arbor Huron 2 (OT). Skyline scored with less than a second left in regulation to force overtime. Intensity.
Ann Arbor Pioneer 17, Temperance Bedford 0.
Michael Jones and Jeff Duart-Digon split time in net for Ann Arbor Pioneer. Jones made two saves and Duart-Digon made one save.
For those keeping score at home, that means Bedford only got off three shots on goal all game.
Midland 12, Rochester Adams 9.
Ryan Sweeney led Midland/Midland Dow with five goals and one assist, and Alex Zahn had five assists. Teammate Connor Baak scored four goals, led with six ground balls, and made 12 saves in goal.
There are three possibilities here: 1) this paragraph is wrong 2) Midland had a guy play in goal for part of the game and in the field for another part 3) GOALIE GOALS.
Holland West Ottawa 16, Holland Christian 7. Adam Olson had five goals for West Ottawa.
Flint Powers 6, East Lansing 3. 17 saves for Powers goalie Brock Owen.
Clarkston 12, Rochester Adams 10. Travis Craft scored six goals for Clarkston.
Midland 15, Rochester Hills Stoney Creek 11. This one was a 6-6 tie at the half, but Midland pulled away with seven third-quarter goals.
Bay City Western 12, Bay City Central 3.
Dexter 11, Madison Heights Bishop Foley 10 (OT).
Cam Rooks then netted the game-winning goal off an alley pass by Jake Waldrup in overtime to clinch the victory for Dexter.
Michael Spuller led Dexter (14-0) with four goals and one assist. Rooks added two goals.

Holt 14, Haslett-Williamston 2. Stevie McKee had six goals and two assists… in the first half.
This roundup has like 700 different games in it (a number here meaning “three”), so you’ll have to click through to see what they were.
Girls: Rochester 17, Farmington North-Harrison 6 and Farmington 13, Oxford 5.
Girls: Hartland 17, Ann Arbor Huron 14.
Girls: Bloomfield Hills 20, Lake Orion 9. Margaret Metzger had six goals and an assist, while teammate Maria D’Angelo added five scores and a helper.
This post is really long. Now that college seasons are winding down, I’ll have High School Roundups a bit more frequently to cut down on individual length.
