![]() ![]() ![]() I am expecting a playoff run this year."īogar concurs with Ranger that the future looks bright for the Cougars. Yeah, I think we are going to be pretty good this year. "We've had four practices and one round-robin, and that round-robin, we did a lot better than I thought we were going to do. Ranger likes the way the Cougars are shaping up for the coming season. Not as glamorous as the offense, but (he) gets the dirty work done." (He) is not known for scoring, more for his defensive presence on the ball and transitioning the ball from one end to the other. He started as an LSM (long-stick midfielder) and he is now playing defense. "Levi, on the other hand, is my long pole. He is starting to develop an outside shot, so now he is becoming a more universal player as well. His strengths are attacking from X, attacking from the crease from behind the goal and doing some wrap-around shots. Academically, both are solid students, but different personalities."Ĭhase and Bogar both have their strengths on the field. "Chase, not that he is loud and over the top, but he is very vocal, leads by example as well, but you know where he is on the field at all times. "You see him on the field and he does his job and does it well. "To give you an example, Levi is very, very quiet, very soft-spoken, but leads by example," Reynolds said.

The program is growing and it is about to become an official school sport at the middle school instead of a club team. "It seems like more (younger) people are getting into (lacrosse). It is really exciting," the soft-spoken Bogar, a long-stick midfielder, said. Like his good friend, Bogar relishes the accelerated pace of lacrosse. I needed a faster sport and more intense."īogar is sort of a late bloomer, taking up lacrosse in the seventh grade. "I played T-ball when I was really young and it was so slow. "I just love how fast-paced it is," Ranger said. Ranger and Bogar's passion for lacrosse comes down to one aspect of the sport - the need for speed. His younger brother, Cam, is an eighth-grader who also plays lacrosse. His older brother, Colby, is a senior for the Cougars. Ranger has had a lacrosse stick in his hands since the third grade. Everything starts from defense."Īdded Bogar: "I really feel like we have good chemistry when we do play together." "(Levi) plays defense I play offense," Ranger, an attacker, said. ![]() The bond between the two sophomores has been strengthen by the sport of lacrosse.
