“We were without Owen Shearer for the whole game and Shea Makosy spent a lot of time in the penalty box, and they are two of the best defenders in the conference,” Chambersburg coach Joey Wilmot said. “But our other (long) poles stepped up and played really well.

“Chase Martin (5 caused turnovers) was fantastic all night and Dom Barbagallo (3 TOs) , Kaden Drawbaugh and Luke Cody played well. Parker King (3 TOs) and Jackson Beardsley played fantastic short stick defense. And Riley Harmon dominated the faceoffs, going 12-for-15.”

Logan Mulkey scored 5 goals for the Trojans (4-2, 1-0 MPC) and Sam Kunkleman had 3 goals and an assist. Other scorers included Shea Makosy (1 g, 2 assists, 5 groundballs), Brax Makosy (1, 1, 5 groundballs), Matt Tucker (1, 1) and Harmon (1, 1, 4 groundballs).
