Congratulations to 2021 Grossmont Defender/LSM, Nate McGuire, on his commitment to further his academic and lacrosse career at Elmhurst University!!! Nate has one of the best personalities our program has ever seen and an even stronger work ethic to go along with it. Nate’s leadership skills have really taken his game to the next level lately as he not only dominates himself but raises all other defenders level of play around him!! Phenomenal stick work, feet, physicality and lacrosse IQ are what define McGuire’s game. We are so happy for Nate and his family!!!

Congratulations to 2022 Bull & Brophy College Prep

Congratulations to 2022 Bull & Brophy College Prep(Arizona) lefty, Cole Rassas, on his commitment to serve our country, continue his academic career and play Division 1 Lacrosse at the United States Air Force Academy!!! Rassas clocks in at over 6’3 185 and is a force to be reckoned with behind the cage and on the lefty wing. Cole has phenomenal vision paired with a deadly shot and the ability to create for himself and others off of the dodge makes him the full package on attack. As unselfish as they come Cole is an outstanding teammate that makes everyone around him better. We are so proud of Cole’s decision and beyond happy for the entire Rassas family!!! @colerassas @friendsofbrophylacrosse @p40lacrosse @pharb19 @af_lax

Bulls Defensive Coaching Staff for Winter 2020 sea

Bulls Defensive Coaching Staff for Winter 2020 season is as good as it gets. Defense is often disregarded in the club lacrosse world, but not with the Bulls!

1 - Nick Brozowski - 2017 National Champion & 2 year starter at LSM for the Terps

2 - Dallas Hartley - Chapman HC, MCLA Hall of Fame, MCLA National Champion, 4x CIF Open Champion as HC of LCC, Unquestionably one of the greatest coaches in west coast lacrosse history

3 - Emmett Cahill - US Lacrosse & Under Armour All American from Loyola Blakefield. University of Maryland 2014, Key contributor for a defense that ranked top 5 nationally every season. As a man down specialist, Emmett totaled an absurd 17 caused turnovers
during opponents extra man opportunities

4 - Brian Cooper - Just ask he’ll tell you

5 - Noah Richard - All American, All Big - East, and All around stud at Marquette University. Drafted into both outdoor professional leagues, Noah just finished playing with the Waterdogs in their inaugural season

6 - Hank Bass - Encinitas Legend, 2x Open Division CIF Champion at La Costa Canyon, 2x SDYLA 7/8th A Champion, Freshmen All American @ CUI. Hank has been tasked with covering the opponents best attackmen in every game he has ever played & won that matchup many times. Can kickflip an 8 stair & hit his driver 340 Yards

7 - Mike Riis - Won the 2010 CIF Championship playing for Coach Hartley undefeated LCC team. National Champion at Denver, All-Tournament Team 2015, recently ran a Marathon with no training. Returned to his Alma Mater as an assistant for Kevin Cooper, assisted with the defense and ran the box for team that won 2017 CIF Open Champions

Congratulations to 2021 Stud Midfielder, Joe Dedon

Congratulations to 2021 Stud Midfielder, Joe Dedonatis on his commitment to play Division 1 lacrosse at Cleveland State!! An incredible athlete Dedonatis makes plays for his team on offense, defense as well as on the face off wing. Routinely putting the ball in the back of the net, Dedonatis is dangerous from anywhere. Joe is one of the hardest workers we have in our entire program and we are so happy for him and the Dedonatis family!!! @joe.dedonatis @csumlax

2025 defensive MVP from AFR tournament is goalie L

2025 defensive MVP from AFR tournament is goalie Leo Nilsen!
-
For a goalie there is no substitute for in-game reps & shots. Leo had not seen a live shot in a game nor scrimmage since March, so no one would blame Leo if he came out a little rusty.
But that wasn’t case for our guy Leo.
As the lone Bulls 2025 goalie present in Utah, Leo was in net for every minute of our 5 games and finished each game with a save percentage above 50%. Leo held opponents to 4 goals per game - highlighted by a 28 minute scoreless stretch in the semifinals! He also created transition with fantastic clearing passes all weekend long!
-
Honorable mention goes to all our defenders but specifically Jack Berg, Lance Biagioli, Eli Ray, & Jace Johnson for their excellent groundball, clearing, & defensive play while making their Bulls debuts.

We will be announcing player awards from last week

We will be announcing player awards from last weekends AFR tournament this week beginning with Co - Offensive MVP’s from the 2025’s: Luke Keller & Lincoln Herring
-
Luke Keller made his debut at AFR not only as a Bull, but also with a new position. A dominant force with a pole in his hands for years, Luke has quietly spent the last 5 months preparing to play attack. The lefty blew away all expectations using a combination of strength, tenacity, & skill to finish as the teams leading goal scorer. Luke was an absolute terror while riding, he finished among the team leaders in ground balls & caused turnovers as well. Bright future no matter the size stick he has in his hands.

-

Lincoln Herring finished as the teams leader in points & assists at AFR. Unselfish, Creative, & possessing lacrosse IQ well beyond his years, Lincoln played his best lacrosse when his team needed him the most - including a jaw dropping 4 goal, 2 assist semifinal performance to send the Bulls to AFR’s Championship game.

-

Stay tuned for more awards as the week goes on! 📸: @roger.moore

We can’t thank you enough for acting as role models, & mentors for our boys —After losing their 2020 seasons, our most senior bulls got together weekly for 3by pickup and put on Harlem Globetrotter type performances, often in front of our youngest Bulls team. Thank you for proving that “Competition is a light switch not a dimmer!” - Shout out Bulls 2019 Alum @colinoconnor23 for creating this insane tape #BullsBaby #BeachamToSillstrop #SillstropToBeacham #MostFunClubInTheWest #NotNice

Congratulations to Hunter Binney on being named th

Congratulations to Hunter Binney on being named the La Costa Canyon Male Athlete of the Year. Well deserved from an incredibly hard working young man that stood out on the Lacrosse team as a four year Varsity player, 3 year starter & 2 time Captain. Hunter then decided as a junior to try out for Football, a year later as a Senior he was an All League Safety. Hunter was the first ever Goalie to step in between the pipes in a Bulls uniform and has led our 2020 team to 11 Club Tournament Championships. We are so proud of all of his hard work paying off and cannot wait to watch him continue his academic and athletic career at Dartmouth University!!! #goat #dog #greekgod @hunter_binney @lcclacrosse @dartmouthmlax

Incredible save by La Costa Canyon & Southern Cali

Incredible save by La Costa Canyon & Southern California Bulls 2021 Netminder, Mitch Likins!!! Mitch was spectacular all tournament long this Fall at the Terrapin Classic as our lone goalie on the team!!! Routinely making the save he shouldn’t and always making the saves he should Likins has tremendous hand speed, vision and reflexes. Mitch is one of the best goalies on the West Coast and is an uncommitted 2021. Stole one in a 6-5 win over our West Coast rival from the north @citysidelax & part time Bulls coach, Drew Snider!!! @mitch_likins @dsnides23 @citysidelax @socal_bulls_lacrosse @lcclacrosse @goaliesmith.lacrosse
