Primetime 585 Spotlight Team: Canandaigua boys lacrosse
After earning a spot in the Class B state championship, the Primetime 585 Spotlight Team of the Week is the Canandaigua boys lacrosse team.
The Gray Wolves have had quite the path to the state finals. It started in their sectional final game, where they knocked off defending champion Victor 11-10.
Canandaigua then faced Lake Shore in its regional game, defeating the Section VI team 15-6. The Gray Wolves built an early lead with seven goals in the first quarter and never looked back.
Patrick Olvany had three goals in the win, and Drew Williamee had five assists to go with his two goals. Goalie Quentin Shedrick recorded a 75% save rate in the matchup.
Nine different Gray Wolves found the back of the net in the regional win — a stat that proves head coach Deven York's philosophy that every player on his roster has something to contribute.
'From the beginning, we've been an all-in, everybody, top-bottom mentality,' York said. 'Everybody on the team's got a role, everybody's role is just as important. These guys embrace it, so that's how we roll.'
In the state semifinals, Canandaigua defeated Christian Brothers Academy of Section III 17-11.
Mike Belles led the way with six goals and added two assists. Ryan Bremer tallied four goals and an assist, while Jack Stanney picked up three goals and Williamee added two.
After the win, Stanney spoke on the excitement of the state championship, especially as it will feel like a home game with just a short trip to Hobart and William Smith Colleges.
'We're excited to be back there,' Stanney said. 'It's in our home turf, it's going to be a lot of people there cheering for us. We're excited for it. It's going to be a good time. It's going to be fun.'
The last time Canandaigua made an appearance in the state finals was in 2022 when Williamee was a freshman. The senior has grown a lot since then, learning what it takes to get ready for the high-stakes games.
'As an individual, I don't feel pressure anymore,' Williamee said. 'You've just got to get yourself comfortable. Everybody has their own little mojo that they've got to do to get themselves ready. But, it's just another game.'
Canandaigua will face off against Garden City of Section VIII on Friday, June 13th at 5:30 p.m.
Congratulations to the Gray Wolves for being this week's Primetime 585 Spotlight Team!
