ROANOKE, Va. – In what was a physical, top-tier boys lacrosse match Wednesday night Patrick Henry defeated Salem 11-9.
The Patriots held a 9-6 lead entering the fourth quarter. While Spartans goalie Richard Hof made some critical saves, Jake Painter and Quinn McCahill scored timely goals to secure the win.
Patrick Henry reached the Class 5 state quarterfinals in 2025. Salem is coming off a 2025 Class 4 State Championship--its first in program history.
