On this week’s episode of New England Lacrosse Journal’s “Chasing The Goal” podcast, hosts Kyle Devitte and Jack Piatelli were joined by Dracut (Mass.) High School head coach Paul Ganley.
Dracut is off to a hot start in MIAA Division 3 this season, going 8-2 with wins against Central Catholic, Shrewsbury and Methuen. The team’s top senior recruit is face-off man Brock Desmarais (Rutgers), one of the toughest draw men in the Merrimack Valley.
Junior defender Charlie Maraganis is the team’s top defender, often being tasked with putting the clamps on the opposing team’s best attackman. He committed to play for Marist in December.
A Massachusetts native, Ganley played his high school lacrosse at Burlington High School. From there he was recruited to play defense for New England College.
