PHOTOS: Maverik’s Showtime Recruiting Camp

We took a day trip to Western Connecticut State University in Danbury, CT last Wednesday to check out the Showtime Lacrosse Recruiting Camp. Presented by Maverik, Showtime is an invitation only high school camp showcasing the top 160 rising sophomores and rising juniors in North America.

The camp featured players from states throughout the Northeast, Illinois, Kentucky, South Carolina Florida, Minnesota, Texas, Nevada, California, Oregon and Canada.

We watched 8 short games in the afternoon followed by the All-Star Game featuring the Top 48 players at the camp (video highlights coming soon). Here are few quick observations from throughout the day:

Biggest on-field amusement: Neon shorts, neon shirts, neon shorts… That’s one way to get noticed!

Most memorable sideline banter: Coach Ric Beardsley‘s constant jawing

Proud LAS moment: Seeing Peter Tumbas of 412 Lax rock the coaches box (note: he’s got his flow back)

Parental sideline yelp of the day: “Get up honey!!!”

Best helmets: Darien’s clean, clean, clean silver domes with blue mohawks

Two attackmen who stood out:
#99 Mitchel Rupp (Victor Central, NY)
#91 Case Matheis (Darien, CT)

Two d-poles who stood out:
#134 Matt O’Keefe (Duxbury, MA)
#163 Marc Patrrone (Aquinas Institute, NY)

Something no one noticed: #11 GOALIE Dave Moore (Lake Mary, FL) shooting during warmups. I lost count of how many times he hit top corner.
