The Chaminade High School boys’ lacrosse team won its fourth consecutive bout with Manhasset High School in the annual Regs Rock game in Mineola on Saturday.
The Flyers (5-1) never relinquished the lead to the visiting Indians, winning 8-4 in the eighth annual Lead the Way Lacrosse Day for Heroes, played in memory of U.S. Army Ranger Sgt. James Regan, the Manhasset native and Chaminade alum who died on tour in Northern Iraq in 2007.
Chaminade was lifted by three goals — two in the fourth quarter — by senior Jack Tigh, who wears Reagan’s No. 19.
The Indians (3-3) failed to capitalize on four Chaminade penalties during the third quarter, going into the final frame down 5-4 before Tigh’s pair of scores put the game out of reach.
Manhasset goalie Henry Mulholland made 10 saves for the Indians.
The day’s events also included games from Manhasset and Chaminade’s junior varsity teams, Chaminade and Fairfield Prep’s freshman teams and the Manhasset and Highland Mills PAL squads.
Proceeds benefitted the Manhasset-based Army Ranger Lead The Way Fund, begun by Regan’s parents following his death to support the families of active duty and wounded elite Special Operations U.S. Army Rangers and their families.
