One player who turned heads was Sandwich's Michael Chetwynd, who fought through heavy contact in a thrilling game at Sandwich Middle-High School on April 25. His physical style of play set the tone for a team that has been building momentum. Teammate Will Hughes was equally impressive, popping the ball free from the draw and flipping crisp passes to keep the offense flowing. Reece MacKinnon wound up for a powerful shot on goal, while Cameron York used his stick to disrupt opponents and slow their attack.
In goal, Nathan Hunt showcased sharp reflexes, tracking the play behind the cage with confidence. Beckett Laurie and Eamon Steele both demonstrated excellent awareness, reading runs and staying locked in on defense. Tucker Carline showed off his evasion skills, slipping past a Plymouth South defender to create scoring chances.
Behind it all, head coach Michael McNeill kept his sideline energized and focused, guiding Sandwich to a second-straight victory—powered by a hat trick from Pearce. The team's chemistry and grit were on full display, and it's no surprise that several of these players are now in the running for top honors.
