The Palm Beach Central High School boys lacrosse team traveled to Park Vista High School and defeated the Cobras 10-4 on Thursday, April 3.
The Broncos had to come from behind after trailing 4-3 at the half. Not only did the Broncos (8-6) tally seven second-half goals, they managed to keep the Cobras out of the net as well.
Park Vista gave the Broncos all they could handle in the first half, fending off the Palm Beach Central attack. Nearly 10 minutes were eaten up on the clock before the Cobras struck first, but the Broncos battled back, and the two squads exchanged goals until they were locked-up at 3 goals each.
Park Vista managed the go-ahead goal to end the first half. It was the last time that the Cobras would lead. Eight minutes into the second half, the Broncos unleashed a fury of 7 unanswered goals, peppering the Park Vista goalie and claiming the 10-4 victory.
Palm Beach Central’s Colin Kennedy and Nick Griffin combined for 6 goals. Andrew Brown, Sean Lemay, David Mendoza and Sammy Peede all scored for the Broncos.
