Maine-Endwell Boy's Lacrosse preparing for State Regionals
ENDWELL, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – One team that is continuing to prepare to make a push to states after winning the Section IV boy's lacrosse title is the Maine-Endwell Spartans. The team returns to the State tournament for the first time since the 2023 season, where they fell in the first round regional to Jamesville-DeWitt, who went on to be the state's runner-up. We're trying to keep it as normal as possible, preparing for the other games,' said head coach Andy Ewing. 'We've had a little longer, obviously, with a week of preparation.' The boys in Blue and Yellow are sitting at 14-2 on the season, winning the section in dominating fashion over Johnson City, 16-7, and looking to continue with that trend into the Class C state tournament. 'The game plan is always the same, the game plan's just, you know, score points,' said Logan McGuire. 'Obviously, we want to finish with the win.' The Spartans are set to take on Highland at Union-Endicott at 10 a.m. on Saturday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
