Watkins Mill in Step 2 of Rebuild


Last season was a rebuilding year for the Watkins Mill High School boys lacrosse team, as coach David Hafer put it. The Wolverines went 5-9, struggling early but picking up their play and finishing with wins in three of their last six games.

That momentum has carried over to this spring, with Watkins Mill starting the season 2-2. That has Hafer feeling good about the direction of boys lacrosse at the Montgomery Village school, he said. On offense, Watkins Mill is led by Ross Campbell, a tall rangy attack with a knack for scoring. The senior was named 3A/2A Player of the Week by the MCLCA after scoring nine goals in two games. 

The defense is anchored by Matt Thompson with Michael Mudsi right behind him, Hafer said.
“It’s working and they see it working and they’re really super excited,” Hafer said. “... They know they’re not talented enough to beat teams like Quince Orchard and Sherwood but they think that if they keep getting better like this, they can beat someone in that order by that end of season.”
