SPRINGFIELD — Kyle Long’s assessment of his game is succinct and elegantly simple, whether he’s holding a basketball or a lacrosse stick.
“Lacrosse is very similar to basketball,’ Long said last week after his Springfield team bludgeoned Ridley, 13-4. “It’s just spacing.’
What stands out most about Long is the spacing in his stats this season. The freshman (which makes his mere elevation to a regular cog in Springfield’s attacking rotation all the more remarkable) is fifth in Delaware County with 25 assists. At 2.27 assists per game, he’s second in the county, trailing only Haverford School’s Grant Ament (42 assists in 16 games, a 2.63 average).
