PAGE 18 THE KATONAHLEWISBORO TIMES THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 2018 SportsSports Monumental win: Indians edge rival Huskers John Jay earns rst victory over Yorktown since 2010 BY MIKE SABINI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

It was better than anyone could ask for as the two best teams in Section 1 boys lacrosse met at John Jay-Cross River High School on April 6 and went down to the wire. Trailing 7-6 with just 10 seconds left, Yorktown’s Hunter Embury drove hard to the goal to attempt to tie the game but John Jay’s or Adamec was there to shut him down. “It felt great to close the game that way,” Adamec said. “I knew he was going to dodge and try to score at the end, but being John Jay’s Tommy 50 yards out I knew I could stay Beeby controls in the with him for eight seconds and waning seconds of the drive him away. It was crunch fourth quarter. time for them so I knew what needed to be done.” e crucial stop sealed a 7-6 victory against Yorktown. It was the Indians’ rst win against the Huskers since April 3, 2010. e victory ended John Jay’s 15-game losing streak to the Huskers and Yorktown’s 26- game winning streak against PHOTO COURTESY GABE PALACIO/ Section 1 opponents.

Katchadurian, who came up with eight clutch saves, said all the credit goes to the guys in front of him. “As a unit we were able to limit them to low-quality shots and they gave me a great chance to save every shot,” said Katchadurian, who made two huge stops late in the game. Two of the guys whose play stood out to Katchadurian defensively were Isaiah Rust and Adamec. “We knew the bulk of their offense was going to be going through the sticks of the Emburys and they did an incredible job of limiting their chances,” Katchadurian said. John Jay’s omas Beeby (1G, 1A), Dean Ford (1G), Sean Nolan (1G) and Michael Minard (1G), and Yorktown’s Blake Borges (1G), Luke Mercer looks Dahlke (1A), Justin Comerford to make something (1A) and Louis Ragusa (7 saves) happen from X. also contributed to their team’s ef- forts. “John Jay is a good team, very tal- ented, and we are extremely excited Sean Nolan runs the John Jay offense in to hopefully meet them again in the second half. playo s,” Jamison Embury said.
