Lens Esquil - Third Team

Taunton – Guard
Taunton senior Lens Esquil had a standout final season wearing a Tigers uniform. Esquil is the type of player to do it all on the court, whether it be scoring, rebounding, playing tough defense, or making the big hustle play. He averaged a team-high 12.5 points per game and was one of the best mid-range shooters in the league. Many coaches consider Esquil as the best offensive rebounder in the league. “Lens is one of the quickest players that I have coached,” said THS coach Charlie Dacey. “Using this asset made the team better at both ends of the floor.”

Dante Law - All Underclassmen Team

Taunton – Law continued to be one of the most dangerous young players in the league, and is just one of two players to be named to the All-Underclassmen team for a second straight year. Law was a matchup issue for a lot of teams as his combination of size and speed make him difficult to cover or to try and score against defensively.

2017 Record: 0-18
2017 Finish: Missed playoffs
Coach: Brendan Chambers
Now in its third year as a varsity program, Taunton is aiming to progress day by day to continue to build the program.
The Tigers went without a win last season but bring seven starters back with another year of success on their belts. Junior goalie Ryan Williams returns in cage to give the Tigers a familiar face on the defensive end. Williams has been manning the cage for Taunton since the team moved to a varsity schedule.
In front of Williams will be junior Justin Demoga, a captain, that handles close defense. Head coach Brendan Chambers noted Demoga is great with positioning, takes a great approach, and is willing to learn and improve every day. Chambers noted Demoga will be tasked with menacing opponents’ best attack throughout the season.
In the midfield, junior captain Dylan Nichols provides leadership and experience for the Tigers. Nichols has the speed to make an impact on both ends of the field and Chambers is hoping for some offensive production out of the junior. Nichols will be joined by senior Chris Kanabayashi who will contribute to the offense with his hard shot.
Junior Noah Kuczewski is making the jump from JV to varsity and will be one of the Tigers’ main pieces on attack. Chambers is also relying on junior captain Joel Delgado, who put a lot of time in during the offseason to improve, to be an important part of the offense.
“Our goal this year is to continue to build on what we did last year,” Chambers said. “We want to increase our lacrosse IQ and try to be more competitive in all our games. Ideally, we’ll win a couple games and get better every day.”
