Lacrosse season has begun for the Skyline Eagles. The boys team kicked off 2025 with a 12-6 victory over Riverton on March 7.

Senior Julian Hodges led Skyline with four goals, with senior Andrew Mathis and sophomores Luke Derum and Duncan Monahan each adding two scores. Senior goalkeeper Noah Panoke had 14 saves for Skyline.

The Eagles return several other players from last year’s team which finished 7-10 overall. In addition to Panoke, seniors Aj Moffat, Dillion Thompson, San Broussart and Julian Hodgeson are back, along with Monahan who saw lots of action last year. First-year coach Kolton Anderson is optimistic about the season, which continued with preseason matches against Juan Diego Catholic, Viewmont, Wasatch and Box Elder before Region 6 play begins on March 26 at East. Skyline finished sixth in Region 6 last year with a league record of 3-5.

The Lady Eagles also have a new first-year coach in Zoe Totland. Skyline started the year with a 13-9 win over Bingham on March 3. Senior Sammy McMaster and sophomore Ella Engelen both scored six goals for the Eagles. Engelsen was voted Player of the Game.

On March 5, Skyline moved to 2-0 with a 14-13 win at Herriman. McMaster had five goals, Engelen three and both senior Kayler Gearson and sophomore Jane Rich scored twice. 

Last year, the Eagles were 10-7 overall, 2-6 in region play. Skyline is set to play Uintah, Pleasant Grove, Riverton and Wasatch prior to league play that started March 26 at East. λ
