Luke Sganga is an offense-creating machine. Contributing 63 points (47 goals, 16 assists) for the Southlake Carroll boys lacrosse team with more games left to play, the senior attacker and Utah lacrosse commit is one of several veterans anchoring a talented Dragons squad.
Sganga’s 166 shots through 13 games provide plenty of offense, and he has other weapons to back him up, including senior midfielder Jack Manero (second in shots with 63), junior Quinn Tyler (39 points — 25 goals, 14 assists) and freshman newcomer Max Bushaw (38 points — 31 goals, seven assists).
“I think we’re strong offensively,” says head coach Bruce Frady, whose team averages 12 goals per game. “We returned four offensive guys from last year that are still competing for us this year. We have a ton of experience.”
That experience includes junior midfielder and face-off expert Neel Shenoy. In the “X,” Shenoy wins the ball 67% of the time (172 of 255) to give the Dragons possession and start the offensive attack. Defensively, senior Grant Doby leads a pack of experienced defenders from last season. Doby has created a team-high 18 opposition turnovers to give the ball back to Carroll, helping the Dragons hold opponents to 8.4 goals per game.
“He’s the kind of defenseman every coach would want,” Frady says.
