>> Prior to its PIAA Class 3A quarterfinal game Saturday the Garnet Valley girl lacrosse team attended the fifth and final Kip Taviano #10ve Lacrosse Celebration in Glen Mills During warm-ups and following their convincing 17-7 romp over District 11 champion Parkland a standout lacrosse player at The Haverford School was killed in a car accident days before his graduation in 2013 Kip’s younger sister) is a senior on our team and the whole Kip Taviano event is really special to our group,” GV coach Jenny Purvis said the Jags carried over their enthusiasm and were ready to go against Parkland They looked nothing like the team that needed overtime to defeat Parkland in the regular season “Our whole team was there for the Kip Tav event and coming there from that … it’s something we like to do every year,” junior Regan Nealon said it gives us a little more fire for our game.” The Jaguars never let their guard down Saturday putting on a textbook display of Garnet Valley girls lacrosse and advanced to the semifinal round of the state tournament The District 1 champions will face a familiar foe in District 1 third-place finisher Unionville which disposed of District 12 and defending PIAA 3A champion Archbishop Carroll Saturday “We were pumped up in the locker room and I think we came out ready to play,” said Nealon “Last time we played them we went into overtime with them so we really want to come out here and show them we are the better team This victory Jaguars (16-2) was never in doubt so we don’t want to have that happen for a third year in a row.” The match got off to an inauspicious start for Parkland when senior attacker Irene Lee was whistled for a yellow card enabling the Jags to pounce with the man advantage Kamryn McNeal scored the first of her four first-half goals to give GV a 1-0 lead we really got better at working together and moving the ball around It’s really starting to show at this point in the season,” McNeal said At this point in the season we’re doing really well and I honestly cannot believe how successful we’ve been.” Parkland (19-7) stayed within striking distance for the first 10 minutes Jill Bushinsky’s tally 10:25 into regulation cut GV’s lead to 3-2 The first half essentially was the Kamryn McNeal-Reagan Nealon-Riley Delaney show All three took turns sharing the goal-scoring responsibilities The Jags tallied nine of the final 10 goals of the opening half They found the back of the net twice in the waning seconds then McNeal scored on a free position with five seconds to go to give GV a 12-3 cushion The Jags thrived on attack and got a slew of players involved McNeal (two assists) and Regan Nealon (one assist) each posted four goals while McKee chipped in with two goals and a pair of helpers Kathryn Toohey netted two goals and Kara Nealon pitched in with a goal and three assists Senior goalie Sam Hamalak made fives saves in the cage “I think it shows that … we have a lot of options and we’re not a one-trick pony,” Purvis said “Any one of those seven girls on offense can score and anyone can cause a turnover I love it when the stat sheet is spread out because it shows that we have such good balance.” Save my

bluefish are still being caught at the Fenwick Shoal with the best bite coming from trolling spoons The amount of bluefish getting caught at the Fenwick Shoal is worth the trip Decent marlin action

and daytime hours at the Indian River Inlet along the rock jetty on sand fleas Small rockfish are being caught at night on sand fleas kings have been steady along the Delaware coastline with bloodworms the most effective bait Slot rockfish are still being caught at the submerged rock jetty at Augustine Beach The best method is to use egg weights and drift peelers in and out of the rocks (be careful not to get hung up) that could be due to the heat with less anglers heading out on boats and trout have been hitting throughout the bay most notably at the reef sites on bloodworms Action on tog and sheepshead has slowed at the Outer Wall and Ice breakers they are still lingering in the area and hitting on sand fleas Croaker and spot are biting at the Cape Henlopen Pier on bloodworms with most of the croaker short of keeper size A few flounder have been caught at the pier on minnows and jigs but the kayakers have had far better luck at the pilings at the end of the pier with minnows and jigs More slot stripers are biting in the Delaware along with the submerged rock jetty about two miles north of the Delaware Memorial Bridge on the New Jersey side are among the most productive spots with bunker working at the towers and yozuri lures catching the stripers at the jetty The lit up Market Street Bridge at the Wilmington Riverfront has been productive in the Christina around 9 p.m. on outgoing tides with basically any lure working Sometimes the action is so fast the stripers hit the second the lure hits the water trolling bucktails from the first bend past the former Up the Creek Restaurant to where the tidal meets the non-tidal section has worked pretty well Sometimes I stop at the Amtrak bridge to make a few casts along the structure Slots were also biting in the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal on eels and swim shads between the bridges in Lewes decent flounder action has been reported in the canal at the Savannah Road Bridge and the Lightship with minnows working the best Small croaker are hitting bloodworms in the canal as well The banks of the Broadkill River has seen good striper action on lures in the morning and evening hours and Lums Pond had

Canal this past week on bloodworms Joe Shevlin caught a flounder in the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal on a minnow and nuclear chicken gulp There are plenty of white perch and catfish to go around in the

ocean structures The Indian River Inlet hasn’t yielded any fish but there are a few reports of white perch biting in the Indian River White and yellow perch are being caught at the Woodland Beach Pier

night talking about the future — specifically their future as men’s lacrosse teammates at Furman “When I committed to play lacrosse here at Furman “He was just so excited to come here and play.” That excitement tragically ended just four days later when Taviano was killed in a car accident While Taviano never got to suit up for the Paladins coach Richie Meade wanted to ensure that one of his first players to commit was always a part of the new program I think it’s more devastating if the child is not remembered,” said Meade “He was a wonderful kid from a wonderful family Remembering Kip is going to help everybody else here That number is just going to be a reminder to all of us that we have no problems Taviano’s family was moved by the ceremony “It’s pretty overwhelming,” said Jim Taviano “We had no idea they were going to do all of this We would’ve been here anyway… Everyone here has been so supportive.” “It’s really cool to actually be here and see where he would’ve attended classes – and just seeing the guys on the field too because I can just picture him down there.” While Vandenberg attended Garnet Valley High along with Maggie where he played football in addition to lacrosse McBride Award for improvement in academics and athletics as a result of hard work and dedication While the respect Meade has earned in the lacrosse world initially drew Taviano to Furman it was his first visit that sealed his decision “He knew when he stepped on campus that this is where he wanted to be,” said Jim Taviano “The small campus and intimate classrooms; he thrived in a high school like that.” and each wears a purple wristband emblazoned with #10VE I and everybody else wishes he could be here today,” said Vandenberg Receive emails when new obituariesare published to our

Long-limbed athlete who has a 77-inch wingspan to further validate his overall size. His athleticism is above average and shows up consistently. Toviano is a muscular, broad-shouldered young man who still has a lot of room to add mass and gain strength as he develops in the weight room. His lower half is lean and well-defined. Flashes very good quickness and change of direction for a longer-body athlete. Does a nice job of being smooth transitioning once he flips his hips and is light on his feet. Good in his backpedal keeping his body square with the ability to plant and go once the receiver has declared in his break. Good in press coverage where he doesn’t panic. Shows patience as he mirrors the receiver with good eye placement and leverage. Once the ball is in the air, reacts well to the receiver going for it and attacks the hands to make a play. In off-coverage, flashes the instincts to read and react quickly and not get caught in bad body position. Does a nice job of getting depth on his drops and staying in his zone without chasing receivers and being disciplined. A player who is a good overall athlete as he has 3-phase snaps on special teams, offense, and defense. Shows good speed with the ability to chase down guys. Willing to come up and tackle in run support. Plays with good strength and is physical. Depending on how he matures and grows he could transition to safety as well. He has the ability and skill to have a multi-all-conference type career ending up with an NFL-type career. Could become a top half of the draft prospect. 2022: Finished senior season with 38 tackles, two INTs (both TDs), two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery.
