Primetime 585 Spotlight Team: HF-L girls lacrosse
After securing the program's 15th sectional title in 18 years, the Primetime 585 Spotlight Team of the Week is the HF-L girls lacrosse team. The Cougars earned a brick by defeating Pal-Mac 9-6 in the Class C championship game. 'All of these kids are my own kids, and my husband feels the same way,' assistant coach Aria Goodberlet said. 'Every kid on this team, we treat every kid like they're our own. It's a blessing to watch these girls grow and see what they're capable of.' Freshman Harper Jacob, an All-Tournament selection, led the way for the Cougars with three goals to earn 84 points so far this season. Junior Shaye Angelo, committed to Duke University, scored two goals and was named tournament MVP. Angelo has been playing varsity since eighth grade and has a season-high 137 points going into regionals. 'Everyone tonight stepped up, played their role,' Angelo said. 'We had some awesome plays by younger classmen. Everyone played their role and we came together tonight.' Senior Caroline Smith has also been a force on defense for HF-L this season. After the win, Smith talked about HF-L's lacrosse dynasty, as the boys also ended this season with a sectional title. 'It's very special. I think it says a lot about our program, about how everyone is just one big family and just hard workers,' Smith said. Head coach Kristin Butka coached the junior varsity team for 15 years, but this year is her first season at the helm of the varsity program. 'Being a part of this program for 15 years, I've gotten to see each and every one of these girls grow from when they're itty-bitty and grow into these amazing young women,' Butka said. 'They truly played for each other tonight. Watching them put pieces together and pulling out the win at the end against a very strong Pal-Mac team, I could not be more proud of this team.' Congratulations to Coach Butka and the HF-L Cougars for being named the Spotlight Team of the Week! Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
