WESTFIELD – Despite being shorthanded and playing in less-than-ideal weather conditions, the St. Mary High School boys’ lacrosse team showed its resilience Friday.
Padraig Smith had seven goals and three assists to lead the charge for St. Mary in an 18-12 loss to Granby at Boardman Field. In just his second start in net, Saints’ goalie Jeremy Hoar made 23 saves.
