The USA Lacrosse Players of the Week recognize the most outstanding individual performances in high school boys’ lacrosse in each of the five regions — Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, South, Midwest and West — outlined in our high school coverage.

The South Region has concluded play, so this week, we honor the top players from the other four regions.

NORTHEAST

Luca Accardo, Syosset (N.Y.)

A year ago, Luca Accardo was a FOGO on a senior-laden, star-studded Syosset (N.Y.) team that won the Nassau Class A title. With so many seniors graduating, Accardo was asked to take on a larger role for the Braves this year, both as the guy to win the faceoffs, but also as the leader on the offensive end. 

The High Point-bound senior has answered the bell in a big way and was instrumental for fourth-seeded Syosset in a 6-5 overtime win over top-seeded Massapequa (N.Y.) in the Nassau Class A semifinals at Hofstra’s Shuart Stadium. 

Accardo scored two goals, including the overtime winner, won 10-of-14 faceoffs and had 11 ground balls as Syosset advanced to the county final against Port Washington (N.Y.).  

“Luca Accardo is a once-in-a-lifetime player for any coach at any level,” Syosset coach John Calabria said. “He is a leader on and off the field and has top-notch character.”

Also notable: Colby Baldwin, Scarsdale (N.Y.); Dan Buckley, Irondequoit (N.Y.); Chris Franchini, Pelham (N.Y.); Alec Gregorek, Shoreham-Wading River (N.Y.); Johnny Hartzell, Rye (N.Y.); Michael Meyer, Northport (N.Y.); Brandon Rispoli, Briarcliff (N.Y.)

MID-ATLANTIC

Eliot Dubick, Winston Churchill (Md.)

The senior attacker scored four goals and had six assists as Winston Churchill (Md.) won its first state title, 15-7, over Broadneck (Md.) in Class 4A. Winston Churchill is the first Montgomery County school to capture a state championship. Dubick’s 10 points tied the state record for points in a 4A title game that was set by Sean Heffernan of Dulaney in 1990.

Dubick, a Maryland commit, had two goals and an assist as Winston Churchill jumped out to a 4-1 lead. Broadneck had allowed just four goals combined in its first two state tournament wins. Dubick finished his season with 72 goals and 93 assists. Churchill went 19-1 under coach Jeff Fritz, who won his 300th career game early in May.

Also notable: Brian Box, Marple Newtown (Pa.); Ryan Goldstein, Radnor (Pa.); Ryan Gregoire, Southern (Md.); Ryan LaRocque, Severna Park (Md.); Jack Sharma, Delbarton (N.J.); Garrett Simi, Southern (Md.)

MIDWEST

Jack Jenkins, Hudson (Ohio)

Jenkins and the Explorers had one heck of a week, capped by a regional championship win over St. Ignatius (Ohio), thus earning a measure of revenge against a program that had eliminated Hudson from the postseason a number of times in recent years. Jenkins, who leads the Explorers with 86 goals, 40 assists and 126 points, had a key goal just before halftime against the Wildcats after scoring five in a regional semifinal victory over North Canton Hoover (Ohio).

Also notable:  Landon Gelven, MICDS (Mo.); George Herron, MICDS (Mo.); Marek Tzagournis, Dublin Jerome (Ohio)

— Jonah Rosenblum

WEST

Ian Thompson, Arapahoe (Colo.)

The junior goalie made 12 saves to help the Warriors to an 8-5 win over Mountain Vista (Colo.) in the CHSAA Class 5A final as they claimed their first state title since 2013. He also had nine saves in an 11-5 win over Poudre (Colo.) in the semifinals and 11 saves in a 6-3 victory over Valor Christian (Colo.) in the quarterfinals. Thompson’s last three games were among his top five save percentages this season.

Also notable: Wyatt Furda, Cheyenne Mountain (Colo.); Finn Hauhuth, Arapahoe (Colo.); Mason Quick, Corner Canyon (Utah)
