A sneak peek at this season’s boys’ lacrosse team

With an experienced head coach steering the ship who knows what it takes to win big games and an enthusiastic, talented and skillful roster, the Delaware Valley High School boys’ lacrosse program is getting ready for the 2025 season.

The Warriors are scheduled to host Parkland on Monday, March 24.

Coach Jeff Krasulski said, “Our goal is to win a league title and win the District 2/11 Sub Regional.” The team had previously lost to the league champions the last two seasons and the District 11 champions during last three playoffs.

Among the returning varsity-tested student-athletes for the Warriors this year are Peyton LaRocco (senior, attack), Noah Rabolli (senior, attack), Bryson Mackey (senior, midfielder), Dean Finelli (senior, defense), Chris Freeman (senior, defense), Keegan Heath (senior, goal tender), Jaxon Barbalich (senior, midfielder), Shaun Cannalley (junior, long stick midfielder), Riley Smith (junior, goal tender), Tyler Husejnovic (junior, midfielder and attack), Michael Iuzzolino (junior, midfielder), Justin Estevez (junior defense), Colin McGarvey (junior, midfielder), Chris Devaney (junior, midfielder), and Matt Marotta (sophomore, long stick midfielder).

Promising newcomers looking to make a positive impact on the varsity roster include Keith Doyle (junior, midfielder), Phillip Leslie (sophomore, attack), Jacob Wolak (sophomore, midfielder), Adam Myers (freshman, midfielder), Levi Henderson (freshman, midfielder), and Codie Ross (freshman, midfielder).

“We have two returning captains in Peyton LaRocco and Dean Finelli,” Krasulski said. “Bryson Mackey and Noah Rabolli have been leaders on the team and have led the team in the off season. These four have a lot of lacrosse experience and have demonstrated how much they love the sport and their teammates. They are constantly encouraging and helping teach newer and younger players the expectations and skills needed to succeed.”

Delaware Valley finished with a very good overall record of 15-3 in 2024 and they have several tough opponents awaiting them this spring.

“Our league is as competitive as it has ever been,” Krasulski said. “Delaware Valley has historically been in the upper echelon of the league and we strive to continue that. Scranton Prep, Abington Heights, Wyoming Seminary, and Crestwood join us in that group of league favorites. Scranton Prep won the league last year and was our only league loss. Scranton Prep outplayed us that day and we are working to avenge that loss.”

Krasulski added, “We have three players committed to play in college next year. Peyton has set all team records in goals and assists last year. Bryson and Noah will have milestones this season with reaching 100 goals and assists marks.”
