Majors Gain Season Split, Defeat Hawks 11-9

     The Boys Varsity came into Monday night’s game, excited from their previous Thursday’s victory vs. Annandale, hoping to sweep their crosstown rivals; The Mt. Vernon Majors. Unfortunately for Hayfield, the Majors were not going to let that happen on their home turf. The Hawks got off to a very slow start, only managing 4 first half goals (after scoring seven 1st QUARTER goals against Mt. Vernon the first time around). The Hawks finally managed to get their much-improved offense rolling late in the 2^nd half, outscoring the Majors 4-1 in the final period, but the hole was dug too deep. In the end, the Hawks fell at Mt. Vernon 11-9, in a match up that could reoccur in a few weeks, when the Gunston District Tournament starts.

     Hayfield was again led by Sr. Brian Marshall (4 goals, 5 groundballs), who increased his team lead in goals to 20 goals (21 pts total) for the 2019 campaign. Jr. Hayden Page (1 goal, 1 assist, 5 groundballs), increased his team lead in assists to 9, and his point total to 15 points (2^nd on team). Sr. Kody Venable (1 goal, 5 groundballs) scored his first goal of the season, and Hayfield’s 3^rd from the close defense position. Venable also has 3 assists this year (2 of those points vs. Mt. Vernon this season). Sr. Luke Artero (2 goals, 5 groundballs), scored 2 goals for the third straight game, giving him 10 goals and 13 points for the 2019 spring season. Artero is currently 2^nd on the team with those 10 scores. Sr. Angel Medrano (1 goal, 1 assist, 5 groundballs) tallied his 5^th goal of the season in the 1^st quarter, on an assist by Sr. Amadu Turay (1 assist), who now has 3 assists this year, combined with 7 goals for 10 total points, giving Hayfield four players with 10 plus points this season.
