Staten Island’s youngest lacrosse players compete at St. Peter’s HS (128 action-packed photos)

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Staten Island’s only youth lacrosse program, Statlax, held games against the Brooklyn Lacrosse Club on Saturday, May 17, 2025.

Three games were held for different age categories at St. Peter’s High School.

Coach Howard Fugate expressed the importance of the program.

“Being able to compete at this age is allowing our players to really be prepared to compete once they reach high school,” said the coach.

Clutch goals, big passes and big defensive plays were the order of the day as the young athletes showcased their talent in front of SILive.com/Advance‘s cameras.
