In a Class 2A, District 5 matchup between two of the area’s top boys lacrosse programs, defending district champs West Orange High handled the Windermere Wolverines in convincing fashion at Raymond Screws Field, 23-8.

Beyond the scoreline, the Warriors’ superb performance can be illustrated even further by considering the number of shots they managed to get on goal, 36, compared to the 11 Windermere managed to get on target. West Orange also won the face-off battle, capturing 15 wins in the game’s 27 face-offs.

Next up for West Orange (4-1) is a road match against another district foe, the Ocoee Knights (0-6), while Windermere (5-2) heads north to face Montverde Academy. Both games will be Friday, March 7.
