³It was tough at first ‹ it was definitely an adjustment ‹ but we worked well together,² Andrew ³Mookie² Alderman, 17, said. ³It was good to play over the summer. It helped me become a better lacrosse player and it was fun.²
The Jets had a losing record last year under their new coach, Bernard DellAquila, but hope to have a better season this year.
³We started playing better as a team and really knowing how each guy played,² varsity midfielder Albert DeCamio said. ³Hopefully we¹ll do well in the season coming up.²
