Thursday night in Suamico was all about the Redbirds. The De Pere Central boys' lacrosse team delivered a statement performance on the road, securing a decisive 11-5 victory over Bay Port High School.

The action was fast-paced from the start, with De Pere's offense finding its rhythm early. Will Jacobs (34) was a key catalyst, taking shots and carrying the ball through traffic, even while being defended by Bay Port's Owen Selissen (14). His efforts were rewarded with goals, including one that prompted a celebratory slap of hands from teammate Tristin Wadzinski (13).

De Pere's ball movement was a highlight, with players like Grant Ramos (2) and Roman Rasmussen (3) effectively carrying possession and Quinn Macdonald (5) working to receive passes for Bay Port. However, the Redbirds' defense and goalkeeping proved formidable. Owen Karbon (0) was a wall in the crease, making crucial saves and quickly transitioning the ball with accurate passes to spark the offense.

While Bay Port's Dominic Fry (31) faced a relentless attack in goal, De Pere's balanced and persistent effort controlled the game. This kind of teamwork—from a lockdown save to a seamless fast break—is what defines a winning performance on the field.
