# 4459 USA Lacrosse National Awards *+ The All-American awards are given to excellent lacrosse players from the area. The national program allows one award for each six teams in the area but this year there were six awards available. Fifteen players were nominated. Section V coaches require that players who are in leagues must make first team league honors in order to be considered. For the All-Academic award, emphasis has been placed on the academic qualification of the nominees, but players were required to be assets for their teams. Where, in the past, nominees for this award were first considered for their skill on this field, again this year, although skill was considered important, nominees did not need to be "All-American" quality players. The Head Coaches also selected a USA Lacrosse Coach of the Year for NYS Section V. This year the coaches selected Pittsford Head Coach Andrew Whipple who led the Panthers to an undefeated regular season with a highly competitive Class B and Monroe County D-2 schedule.
Head Coach, Ryan Yunker says, "Isaac is the epitome of leading by example, always does the right thing, says the right thing, and is striving for excellence in every area of his life. He was voted team captain twice by his teammates, clearly demonstrating that he has his peers respect." "Just as Isaac sets an example for our team with his never ending work ethic and motor, he has also been a phenomenal vocal motivator for our players. In a particularly hard practice this year Isaac took charge and made sure to push EVERYONE on the team to give their all and push through the pain to get better. It didn't matter if it was a freshman first year, or a fellow senior captain, Isaac was right behind them making sure they were running all out through the line and finishing every rep to the max. Isaac Bailey is truly one-of-one and I can't think of another kid more deserving of this award. "

# 4447 Penn Yan and Penfield Look to Defend Section V Honor Thursday Night Williamsville North will host a second straight night of New York State boys lacrosse tournament action on Thursday, with two more first-round matchups on tap as Section V programs again make the trip west to face Section VI opponents.
The evening opens at 5 p.m. with a Class D clash between Penn Yan and East Aurora. The Mustangs are one of the most decorated programs in New York state history, arriving as the reigning NYS Class D champions and 28-time Section V titlists with a 16-3 record and a coaching staff that has now won 344 games at the school. Penn Yan dismantled top-seeded Palmyra-Macedon 17-5 in the Section V final, never trailing after the opening goal, and carries a roster headlined by Braden Fingar, a Towson-bound midfielder with 85 points on the season, and faceoff specialist Greyson Hathway, who has piled up 178 ground balls. East Aurora counters with a matching 16-3 record and the Section VI Class D title, won convincingly with a 24-9 final over Eden/North Collins. The Blue Devils have shown they can compete cross-section; their win over HF-L earlier this season is a credential — but Penn Yan beat that same HF-L team 15-5, and Hamburg 15-7, by margins that suggest a different level of dominance. Penn Yan is a clear favorite, though East Aurora's tournament experience and home-area crowd give them a chance to make it interesting.
The nightcap at 7:30 brings the marquee matchup of the week — Class A, Section V champion Penfield against Section VI champion Kenmore. The Patriots finished 14-4 and claimed their eighth Section V title, capped by a 13-3 dismantling of McQuaid in the final. Head coach John Schembri's squad is built around Brodie Joyce, the Section V MVP with 84 points, an All-Section goalie in Mason Schembri, a dominant faceoff specialist in Colin Miller who reached 500 career faceoff wins this season and US Lacrosse All-American AJ Theodorakakos on defense. Kenmore enters at 11-3 with one of the most explosive offenses in Class A anywhere in New York, led by Connor Whitney's 111 points, Bryan Lansing's 86, and freshman Nolan McPhee's 68. If Kenmore's three-headed attack gets rolling, they are capable of beating anyone. But Penfield's defense, their faceoff dominance, and their tournament pedigree make them the favorite heading into Thursday night. Winners from both games advance to Saturday's regional round, with Section V victors hosting at Honeoye Falls-Lima High School. | ||||||||

The Head Coaches of Section V considered players who had been nominated for All-American and All-Academic awards. The awards identify some of the best players from each area around the country. Each of the head coaches in the Section is allowed to vote on each of the awards. The selections from our area were then submitted to the USA Lacrosse for final approval.
Academically, nominees needed to have an average GPA of 3.7 (on a 4.0 scale). There were also six awards available in Section V and some players were nominated for both awards.
In 2012, USA Lacrosse added an award named for the long-time Johns Hopkins lacrosse coach and Athletic Director, Bob Scott.
