Two hours left until the faceoff of the state lacrosse championship. The palms are sweaty as the nervousness starts to kick in. The matchup is Conestoga Valley vs The Haverford School. This is a highly anticipated match up because, Cv is 23-0 and Haverford is also 23-0. Cv is led by senior captains Jay Branch and Tyler Gerz. Jay plays attack and Tyler plays at the midfield position. They both will be playing at the college level next spring. Together the two are nearly unstoppable and cause headaches for opposing coaches. Earlier in the season when Cv was down by 6 goals in the fourth quarter when Tyler and Jay seemingly took over the game by assisting each other three times for three goals each.

The whistle blows, and the game has started. Haverford has pulled out to an early 4-0 lead in the first quarter. In the first quarter Haverford was able to control the ball alot more than Cv. It seemed as if Cv was shocked that they were even in the Championship game. In the second quarter CV rallied back with two goals a piece from Tyler and Jay. Haverford also added two goals to their score in the 2nd quarter. At the end of the 2nd quarter Haverford would go into the locker room with a 6-4 lead over Cv.

At the begining of the 3rd quarter Cv came out of the locker room with a fire in their eyes. You could tell they were ready to make a comeback. During the 3rd quarter Cv had a huge rally to put them in the lead 7-6 with great team chemistry. Tyler and Jay were not just scoring, but they were assisting their teammmates. Not only are they goal scorers, but they also distribute the ball very well, this willl help them at the next level.

The fourth quarter has begun with Cv leading 7-6. The scores keep going back and forth back and forth. At the halfway mark in the fourth quarter, the score is 9-7 Cv. Unfortunately, Haverford scored 2 unanswered goals to tie the game up with 10 seconds left in the Championship game. Cv has the ball at midfield following a timeout from coach Sasse. Tyler Gerz is controlling the ball with the game on the line. The ref blows the whistle and Tyler drives the goal. Three defenders collaspe on him, making it impossible to get a pass off. Meraciously he makes a behind the back pass to Jay right in front of the goal. Jay fakes low and shoots high, the goalie drops to his knees making it easy for the ball to go into the goal. Its a goal!!!!, cv has won the championship.
