2006-2007 outlook

[teslax14]

So now that teams have had a chance to get back to school and lacrosse, how is everyone looking for the coming season? How many players are on each team and did anyone get any new impact players?

Based on the CWU Tournament this past weekend I would say that the Wildcats from E-Burg have some talent. 22 players so far, with several more to join in time for the season.

Kevin,

It's great to see that Montana is reloading to make a run at the National B Title this season. . .

Who are you guys playing OOC this year in the B division? As a pollster I always watch those interconference games closely, and the more the PNCLL B division plays outside the Northwest, the more the rest of the country will realize how good the B teams are up here...

Wow, the Griz have got a lot of top high school programs represented in this year's recruiting class. Having spent a little time in Missoula visiting a buddy, I can understand the attraction. Great place!

Our OOC schedule is still in the works...we're planning on hosting UVSC & Montana State, but that's it so far for Div B. We're also traveling to Cali for NDNU & hopefully one more, and working on picking up games with Gonzaga, SFU, Boise, and maybe one more Div A team.

Chance Townsend, Hermiston, OR - A
Ryan Edmonds, Western Oregon - M
Evan Sims, Montana - M
Garret Theriot, Northern ID - M
Carl Coppert, Northern ID - M
Cade Ritthale, Boise Area - M
Behren Aydt, Northern ID - M
Zack Porter, Wall Walla, WA - M
Robert Beusan, Northern ID - D
Josh Wuest, Northern ID - D
Ben Lavigne, Seattle Area - D
Anton Skeie, Boise Area - D
Robert Wulff, Boise Area - G
James Woodruff, Northern ID - G

I am also pleased to announce Robert McQuade, a very talented long pole from the Boise Area, has joined the Vandals as an assistant coach. Rob will be working closely with our defensive unit. We have a very young team but I am excited to see what they can do this spring.

[Shawn Carman]

It sounds like you guys have a good kick start for the following years. With the new coach Ryan Hanavan to lead the program as a whole and if Rob is going to assist in helping the Defense you guys have reached a new platform.

Good Luck with all of the hard work to come.

[Ryan Hanavan]

Thanks Shawn, we're all excited about the program and hope to keep building. We look forward to seeing you guys down in Boise this spring! Best of luck with preparing for the upcoming season. Thanks again! -Ryan
