31st Washington Lacrosse Boys State Championships
Memorial Stadium, Seattle

SEATTLE – Overlake’s Devon Schmidt scored six goals and 12 ground balls to lead the Owls to their first boys lacrosse state championship in a 17 - 11 Division II defeat of Eastside Catholic, Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Seattle.

Overlake used an aggressive transitional offense, firing 42 shots at freshman Eastside Catholic goaltender O’Neil Hughes to throw the Crusaders off their game. The game was the first state title appearance for Overlake in its 20-year history.

“This is an amazing win,” said senior George Dolack who scored three goals for the Owls. “After three years of losing in the first round of the playoffs we finally made it. The Redmond game was our biggest weapon,” said Dolack, referring to Overlake’s 12 – 7 loss to cross-town rival on March 25. “We had been playing well early in year. That loss felt horrible – it motivated us.”

Overlake came out of the gates hard with Sky Tweedie-Yates connecting beating Hughes just 51 seconds into the game and again nine seconds later give the Owls an early 2 – 0 lead.

Following a David Carlton goal at 10:35 to put the Crusaders on the board, Greg Safadago answered with his only goal of the night to send the Owl’s on a 4 – 1 run to close the first at 6 – 2.

In the second, with Overlake having extended their lead to 8 – 3, the Crusaders came marching back on a short-handed goal by Carlton, as the Crusaders scored four of the final five goals in the half close the gap to 9 – 7.

“It’s a game of runs. We had a run in the beginning and they hit us back,” said Overlake goaltender Chap Grubb. “After (Eastside Catholic’s) run, we came back and stopped them.”

In the third, Carlton, one of just four seniors for the Crusaders – who began playing the sport at Eastside Catholic just three years ago, opened scoring just 12 second into the half, but the Owls answered with four unanswered goals to extend their lead to 13 – 8.

In the fourth, the teams traded goals, but the Crusaders three nets weren’t enough as the Owls scored four of their won to cruise to the win.

“We were fighting to get momentum all night, but unfortunately it wasn’t there,” said Carlton who had seven goals, one assist and seven ground balls in his final game of his prep career.

Scoring:
Overlake 6 3 4 4 -- 17
Eastside Catholic 2 5 1 3 -- 11

Highlights: Devon Schmidt, OV, 6 goals, 2 assists, 12 ground balls; Sky Tweedie-Yates, OV, 3 goals, 5 assists, 4 ground balls; Scout Tweedie-Yates, OV, 3 goals, 1 assist, 2 ground balls; Joe Dolack, OV, 1 goal, 1 assist, 2 ground balls; Greg Safadago, OV, 1 goal, 1 assist, 3 ground balls; Bryce Remington, OV, 4 ground balls; Nick Wright, OV, 1 ground balls; Brandon D’Ewart, OV, 4 ground balls; Chapp Grubb, OV, 12 saves; David Carlton, EC, 7 goals, 1 assist, 7 ground balls; Kyle Decker, EC, 2 goals, 1 assist; Andrew Carlton, EC, 2 goals, 1 assist; Michael Rambaldini, EC, 10 ground balls; O’Neil Hughes, EC, 7 saves.

SEATTLE – Bobby Walker, a three-sport senior at Roosevelt High School in Seattle, has been named an Academic All-American by US Lacrosse.

The award is presented annually by US Lacrosse to student-athletes across the country that excel in the classroom and participate in community and volunteer service. Walker, who plays midfield for the Roughriders, was selected by high school varsity lacrosse head coaches in eastern and western Washington. Walker is the only recipient from Washington state.

In the classroom, Walker maintains a 3.86 GPA while taking advanced placement and honors classes. He was recognized in 2007 by Washington governor Christine Gregoire among state students achieving high scores on the WASL examinations. He was also elected Roosevelt student body vice president in 2007.

Walker’s honors include membership in The National Society of High School Scholars, Junior Classical League and Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth. He has received invitations to attend the Congressional Student Leadership Conference, National Student Leadership Conference, Junior Statesman of America Summer Program and Cambridge College Program. In 2006, he was recognized with the National Latin Society Award for Excellence.

In the community, Walker is a fundraising volunteer for the historic Dunn Gardens in north Seattle, serves Thanksgiving dinners to the local homeless population through the University District Food Bank, is active in the University Presbyterian Church youth group, and traveled to Mexico in 2008 and 2007 where he helped build homes for impoverished families in Tijuana.

On the lacrosse field, Walker had 17 goals, 2 assists and 66 ground balls for the Roughriders during his senior season. He tallied a season-high four goals and 19 ground balls in the Roughriders’ March 19 loss to Nathan Hale. As a junior, he received the school’s “Zero to Sixty” award as the team’s most improved first-year player.

As a cross-over student-athlete, Walker earned three letters at the free safety and wide receiver positions on the Roughrider football team.
