Lacrosse Performance of the Year: Maxx Davis
Matt Russell was back in goal for Team STX after suffering a broken thumb a few weeks earlier, and before the game in Cocoa Beach, FL had seen a full quarter, Russell took another shot off the thumb, and had to leave the game.

Video: Don’t Judge A Goalie By His Shin Guards
If you saw a goalie wearing shin guards and flapping shoulder pads, you might not think of the kid as a baller, but if his name is Gareth Haigh, you’d be wrong! Leading Edge 2018’s goalie may rock shin guards and shoulder pads, but his stick skills can NOT be assailed in any way, shape, or form!
