The managers live it up with another W.

Each team has its own energy whether it be  calm, fierce, or competitive, but the BSM boys’ lacrosse team brings their own unique energy to every game and practice. This group of competitive individuals focuses on the importance of protecting each other and playing the game they love most. Through hard work, passion, and team camaraderie, the Red Knights display true teamwork day in and day out. Training together at the dome, hosting team dinners, and supporting each other before games builds this team’s chemistry. Through the triumphant victories and defeating losses, the team manages to stay humble and connected while growing as teammates and lacrosse players.

Coach Chaun Klemetsrud, Defensive Coordinator: “[The culture of the team is] hardworking, our guys play for one another.  We have a culture where everyone is held accountable to certain standards and to play for something greater than themselves.”

Tucker Turrittin, Big Time Player: “Everyone comes in with a common goal, which is being the best year in and year out. Because truly we are a bunch of hard workers.”

Isabel Erickson, Former Boys’ Lacrosse Manager: “The support they give each other is like no other. You don’t have to be on the team to see how connected they are.”

Benji Barry, Highly Experienced Player: “In the off season [we] make sure to go to Dome sessions and listen to the older players; they’re there to help.”

Rob Horn, Head Coach: Its a special relationship our players share with one another, and we really drive home the importance of having a relationship with your team. I think they would say we are a big part of that, but I don’t know if it’s really my focus as much on them supporting one another. They know we (coaches and staff) are here for them, we’ll make sacrifices for them just like we ask them to do for us. It’s a special bond.”

Isabel Erickson: “The energy of the team and how they boost each other up keeps them going.”

Tucker Turrittin: “Oh and here is a quote. A hot take. We’re winners. And winners win.”

Quinn Ehlen, Former Player: “The team is gonna bring it home soon.”

Christian Horn, Former Player and Captain: It’s a little hard to explain. There were probably a lot of teachers rolling their eyes at us with the swagger we kind of walked with, but at the same time, we had earned it. We were on top of the lacrosse world in Minnesota, there really is no other way around it.”
