Boys lacrosse 

The Eagles played against the top-ranked LaSalle Academy on Tuesday, May 9 and came up short, 18-6. The bright spots for Barrington included 22 saves by the Eagles’ senior goalie Ryan Valentine, and three goals from Ben Parylak. Additional goal scorers were Colin Hope, Robby Pippitt, and Quinn McNamara.

“Despite the lopsided score, Ryan Valentine may have played his best game of the season,” stated a press release from the team. “He made some tremendous saves against talented shooters.”

The senior goalie will play lacrosse at Keene State next year.
