WIRED FOR WAR: BOYS LACROSSE

The Southeast Boys’ Lacrosse team celebrates a win

Lacrosse is one of the fastest growing sports in the world, and some schools in Portage County are starting to add lacrosse programs to their athletics; only 3 schools in Portage county have lacrosse, including Southeast. The Southeast boys lacrosse team is coming off an 8-10 record. They play their third game on March 26th against Canfield. The Pirates have an extensive roster this year and are quickly trying to figure out the roles and responsibilities. Some notable upperclassmen are Abdallah Alrawahneh, Tristan Finch, and Trevor Osbourne, with some standout underclassmen like Jackson Oyster, Joey Jares, and Nick Coffman. This year’s squad is also coached by Karl Mesaros and Brady Deremer. The Pirates are trying to build off of last year’s season to improve to a winning record for the 25-26 season. We interviewed up-and-coming freshman Joey Jares a few questions about the season ahead, and he has a few goals in mind. One of his main goals is to “Get not only the team’s offense but the team’s defense sharp and ready to go for the season.” Every player on the team loves the game of lacrosse, and all players have many favorite parts about the game. Jares’ favorite part of Lacrosse is, “Playing defense and being able to hang out with my friends during practice and being around the team and coaches.” The Pirates lacrosse team has a lot of new players to watch this season, and exciting things are sure to be on the way for the Pirates.

ABOUT US

The Pirate Post started out as a club in the spring of 2025. This year, it officially became a Journalism and Communications Class, run by students, that is open to anyone! The process to make this an elective, however, was no easy feat. Student Izzy Goodnite (who proposed that we create a school newspaper) wrote a proposal for the school board, and they agreed to make it a class. We aim to inform the student body about things that are new at Southeast: sports, school plays, field trips, and seasonal news. We cover it all! “I feel this newspaper isn’t just about information though, it is also about learning and recognizing people who deserve it,” states Goodnite. If you enjoy writing, Newspaper is the class for you! If you have any article ideas or any questions, you can email our advisor, Julia Dillon: jdillon@sepirates.org or fill out the form at the bottom of our website.
