With temperatures reaching 46 degrees Friday night, fans were feeling the chill. However, this didn’t stop the Coppell boys lacrosse team from putting on a show in its 9-6 victory over Rockwall at Lesley Field. 

Down by two at the start of the second quarter, Coppell knew it had to get going if they wanted to secure a lead. Senior attack Chase Waddill got Coppell started with a shot into the goal making the score 3-2. Almost immediately, Coppell regained possession and junior midfielder Edward Griffin evened the score.

The Cowboys were not done, though. Coppell gained possession and Griffin scores on a quick shot to give Coppell a 4-3 lead. Rockwall went scoreless for the rest of the quarter and by halftime, Coppell had given itself a three goal lead.

For the rest of the game, Coppell was sure not to let up despite efforts by Rockwall players such as sophomore midfielder Haiden Eaker and sophomore attack Kingston Poe. Coppell maintained its lead the rest of the game.

“I didn’t do too much statistically but just continuing to work the ball around and trusting the ball will find the back of the net,” Griffin said. “The team played great and it was great to get a win.”

This game was also a big one for Griffin who was returning from injury.

“It was a lot of fun,” Griffin said. “I’ve been working all offseason and seeing us lose that first game was rough. I know I could’ve made a difference so it was a lot of fun to be out here with the boys and competing again.

Despite getting the win, the Cowboys look for continued improvement coming out of the game.

“Way too many turnovers so just cutting down on turnovers, continuing to play a clean game and continuing to get better,” Griffin said.
