Boys’ Player of the Year SHACK STANWICK Boys’ Latin (Md.)


Shack Stanwick capped an already stellar career with an impressive list of accomplishments. He finished as the school’s all-time leading scorer, posted the best season in program history, helped the Lakers to the MIAA-A conference title and national No. 1 ranking in the Nike/US Lacrosse National High School Top 25 with an undefeated season and earned a treasure trove of personal awards. Stanwick finished with 118 points (46 goals, 72 assists), giving him 334 points


(197 assists, 137 goals) for his career. He averaged 6.56 points per game in the Lakers’ 18-0 season. Stanwick is the youngest of eight siblings. The first seven all played or currently


play NCAA Division I lacrosse. His coming of age coincided with one of the most dominant two-year stretches for a team in high school history. The Lakers went 37-1 and reached the MIAA-A final the last two years. They were 16-1 against teams in the Nike/US Lacrosse National Top 25 and spent all but one week as the No. 1 team in the nation.


“I tell people all the time to tell me what his natural hand is,” said Boys’ Latin coach Bob Shriver, who plans to retire after his 36th season in 2015. “From the first time you see him play and you watch the remarkable skills he has with both hands, you’re left saying, Jiminy Christmas. He’s just that good.” Stanwick’s brother, Steele, was the


Tewaaraton winner as the nation’s top player at Virginia in 2011. Shack will join another brother, Wells, at Johns Hopkins, next season. Sisters Sheehan, Wick and Coco were All-Americans at Georgetown, as is Covie at Boston College. Their brother, Tad, played at Rutgers.


“There’s a lot of pressure to be a Stanwick in


this area,” Shriver said. “Shack closed out his family’s career in storybook style.” — M.L.
