Oceanside boys’ lacrosse team clinches state title victory over Bishops

PSHS, BE and HHS score regional track and field medals

The Bishop England boys’ lacrosse team couldn’t take a bite out of the Oceanside Academy Landsharks’ winning machine.

The Landsharks remained undefeated against South Carolina High School League foes in its brief history with a 16-5 victory over the Battling Bishops in the Class AAA state championship last Saturday at Irmo High School.

The Landsharks have been eligible in SCHSL play for two years and won their second straight crown. Bishop England, meanwhile, was denied its second state title since the High School League sanctioned the sport in 2010. The Bishops won their first and only crown in 2017 and finished the season with an 11-4 record.

Oceanside was in control early, taking a 4-2 lead after the first stop, and expanded the lead to 8-4 at halftime to end the Bishops’ eight-game winning streak.

Dennis Treasurer led the Bishops with two goals. Ben Kinsinger tallied a goal and assist while Michael Long accounted for the other goal. Harris Hubbard handed out two assists.
