Guerin Catholic won an all-county boys lacrosse game Wednesday evening, beating Noblesville 14-2 at the Millers’ Beaver Materials Field.
The Golden Eagles led from the start, going up 2-0 by the end of the first quarter. Guerin Catholic then added five more goals, including two from Jake Heck during the later stages of the second period. Braden Carpenter got Noblesville on the board during the quarter, but GC led 7-1 at halftime.
In the third quarter, Luke Truffer put in two goals for the Golden Eagles, and Peyton Butts scored with 38.1 seconds left to give Guerin Catholic a 10-2 lead. Jack Snyder got a goal for the Millers. The Golden Eagles then added another four goals in the fourth period.
Butts led the Guerin Catholic scoring with five goals, while Truffer and Heck both had three. Chase Argir added two goals and Evan Bair had one.
Golden Eagles coach Charlie Barry said the team was coming off a 9-8, overtime win against Center Grove last week. He said Guerin is taking things one game at a time, and that “we’re still trying to identify who we are.” The Golden Eagles are next in action Friday in a Circle City Conference game at Roncalli.
The Millers are 0-2, having dropped their first game last Saturday against Mishawka Marian, 8-4 at Grand Park. But Noblesville coach Mark Milam is optimistic.
“I’m excited when the kids bring the right attitude, bring the right effort,” said Milam. If the players do that, Milam said “success will follow.”
Noblesville plays at South Bend St. Joseph on Saturday.
