Grand Rapids - 2012 Northern Minnesota Lacrosse Season Preview

Team: Grand Rapid High School
 Coaches: Brad Gallop - 3rd year at Grand Rapids
Last Year's Record:1-8

Returning Starters/Key Returning Players:  Grand Rapids returns several starters from last season including senior scoring leaders Joey Keating, Aaron Smith and Brody Geisler.  Grand Rapids also returns senior starters midfielders Jace Martinetto and Doug Jensen and defenseman seniors Zach Brist, Zach Grandia, and Nate Bumgarner.
Key Losses: Attackman Ben Dunnell and defenseman Kirk Watson.

Key Newcomers:  Grand Rapids has some up and coming players that will contribute to a team led by seniors at all positions.

Big Games/Games to See: Big rivalry game against Duluth-Superior on April 26.

Season Outlook: In 2012, Grand Rapids will be led by a strong senior class.  With some solid contributions from some of their underclassmen, including a strong sophomore class, Grand Rapids looks to make some major improvements on last years 1-8 record.  With solid performances expected out of their senior class and better than expected support from their younger players, Grand Rapids might be looking at a run at a playoff spot in 2012 and a shot at the North Conference title.
