Game Details - Boys Lacrosse

Unlike its previous region meeting with Alta, top seed Brighton started out hot in the 5A semifinal on Wednesday, building a 5-3 lead after the first quarter and extending it to 10-6 by halftime as it rolled into Friday's state championship. The defending state champion Bengals will face the Park City-Olympus winner in the final. Gabe Carrera scored five goals to lead the attack for Brighton, while Zach Anderson added four goals and six ground balls. Andrew Salinas tallied three goals. "We were able to control the middle of the field. Faceoffs and ground balls allowed us to control the tempo of the game. I thought we did really well defensively making them earn everything. It's hard to beat teams twice but we made the adjustments from the first meeting and are happy to be moving on," said Brighton coach Chris O'Donnell. In the loss, Beckham Horoba scored four goals to lead the way for the Hawks.
