| Wow, 6'1'' and he's probably around 15? | |

| [quote]Mackenzie was the most valuable player on offense, | |
| defense, as well as the faceoff x this weekend for BC. Starting | |
| at the x, his skills were immediately made apparent. Mackenzie�s | |
| hand speed and physical dominance allowed for him to go hot out | |
| the front and create his own fast breaks. When he wasn�t able to | |
| push the ball forward, he was still usually able to get the | |
| clamp and draw it back to his wings. While most faceoff guys | |
| take off once possession is gained, Mackenzie usually stayed on | |
| for a shift on the offensive end and contributed a number of | |
| goals and assists over the weekend. When things did happen to go | |
| the other way, his size and speed were pivotal in killing the | |
| odd man rushes and preventing transition goals from the other | |
| team.[/quote] | |

| [quote]�Mackenzie makes an impact in all areas of the game,� | |
| said Hoskins. �He played a key role for us in transition as one | |
| of our top face-off specialists and was one of our main | |
| contributors offensively.� sky is the limit as far as Rope�s | |
| future goes in field lacrosse, as long as he continues to put | |
| forth the tremendous work effort he�s shown so far. Selected as | |
| a U-13 tournament all-star at the Denver team camp last summer, | |
| this is the second straight year that Mackenzie has been named | |
| to the tournament all-star team after moving up an age division | |
| in 2012,� said Hoskins. �Mackenzie is a great athlete and looks | |
| to have a very bright future in outdoor lacrosse.�[/quote] | |
| Looks like he can be used to faceoff, play offense, play | |
| defense, etc. And some time to grow! | |

| After learning that yet another one of his players has decided | |
| on Stony Brook University, Sachem North coach Jay Mauro took a | |
| moment to reflect. | |
| �It�s kind of crazy how it�s working out,� Mauro said. | |
| Indeed, four current Flaming Arrows have now verballed to the | |
| Seawolves. And three former Sachem North players are current on | |
| the SBU roster. | |
| Does any other high school from sea to shining sea have more | |
| players attending or en route to a D-I lax program? We think | |
| not. Stony Brook is located just eight miles north of Sachem | |
| North�s Lake Ronkonkoma campus. | |
| The latest verbal came on Tuesday when 2016 attackman Tom Haun | |
| decided on SBU, a commitment first reported when it was made by | |
| Joe Lombardi on LaxLessons.com�s Lacrosse Insider premium | |
| coverage section. | |
| �He is tough, quick and has a great stick,� Mauro said of the | |
| 5-foot-8, 140-pound Haun, a lefty. �He�s an extremely diligent | |
| worker with a great attitude. It�s team-first and all he cares | |
| about is winning.� | |
| Now, here�s a Q&A with Tom on his commitment. | |
| What were the main factors in your decision? | |
| Stony Brook has a great academic reputation and is a | |
| university-teaching hospital. I have an interest in a career in | |
| the medical field. I enjoyed meeting (Stony Brook Head) Coach | |
| (Jim) Nagle and (Assistant) Coach (Craig) Gibson.I appreciated | |
| Coach Nagle�s great advice and no-pressure approach. | |
| It will also be great to play again at the college level with | |
| my teammates at Sachem North: Joe Caridi Mike Calvagna and | |
| Anthony Ross. | |
| What other schools were you considering and what schools did you | |
| visit? | |
| I also considered Maryland, Towson and Rutgers and visited all | |
| three schools. | |
| What are your strengths as a player and how would you describe | |
| your style of play? | |
| I think I have strong stick skills, very good change of | |
| direction and great vision on the field. | |
| What area of your game do you need to work on? | |
| I am working on getting stronger and faster and getting more | |
| velocity on my shot. | |
| How did you get introduced to lacrosse and what other sports | |
| have you played? | |
| I started playing in second grade and was lucky enough to have | |
| Dave Shanahan as my first coach. He made the game fun for | |
| second-graders and really gave us all a strong foundation of the | |
| game over the next couple of years. | |
| I played a ton of hockey locally and for the Tour Roadrunners, a | |
| travel roller hockey team coached by Anthony Violante. Our team | |
| was a two-time North Roller hockey champion. I also played ice | |
| hockey, basketball, volleyball and football. | |
| What travel team do you play on what showcase events did you | |
| participate in? | |
| Sachem stays together as a team over the summer and we play | |
| against all the elite travel teams and do very well. | |
| I played for Suffolk in the Nassau/Suffolk Long Island Showcase | |
| at St. Joseph�s College. | |
| Any final thoughts? | |
| I want to thank Coach Mauro, (Assistant/Offensive Coordinator) | |
| Coach (Paul) Benway, (Assistant/Defensive Coordinator) Coach | |
| (John) Lang and the rest of the (Sachem North) coaching staff | |
| for the guidance and the endless hours they put in developing | |
| Sachem lacrosse players. Special thanks to Coach Mauro for all | |
| the help in the recruiting process. | |

| Yea baby,,,Sachem always has a reputation of creating | |
| outstanding Athletes in Lacrosse a Football. Even back in the | |
| 80's, baseball. I graduated from Sachem back in the mid 80's, | |
| showing my age, and Football was our thing with the Flaming | |
| Arrows. Stars such as Jumbo Elliot, who went to Michigan I do | |
| believe, and then the NFL.. In 1983/84 they were state | |
| champs.... Coach Fred fusaro was the man back then | |
| I just love to see our local athletes want to play for SB and | |
| wanting to stay closer to home. This is the reason why year | |
| after year our fan base is growing larger. Sachem is a HUGE | |
| school and that alone can ad thousands of additional fans to | |
| lavalle stadium. Love it. Love it !!!!!!! | |
