Boys Lacrosse: Cohesive Marple Newtown is ready for postseason

Posted On: Tuesday, May 12, 2015

NEWTOWN SQUARE — Like every other aspect of Marple Newtown’s season, the question posed to Billy Morgan at practice Monday has to be answered in the proper frame of reference.

Does he regard the Tigers’ qualification for the District One boys lacrosse tournament, the program’s first playoff appearance in 12 years, as unexpected?

Had you asked Morgan before the season, the answer would’ve been an emphatic no. But that was before two of the team’s starting attackmen — Tyler Kostack (after just two games) and Tom Higgins (who scored 35 goals in 12 games) — suffered season-ending injuries, before five key members of the squad, including Morgan for the season’s first six contests with a shoulder injury, missed time.

Marple Newtown had a lot of injuries this season, but Xitas has seen that become a strength as so many of the Tigers were forced to fill in and got the job done. (Robert J Gurecki)
