Performance of the Week: Hartland's Bo Lockwood
May 10, 2022
Bo Lockwood ♦ Hartland
Lacrosse ♦ Senior
Lockwood has piled up incredible statistics for Hartland over the last four years and cemented his name in state and national high school lacrosse history. The senior attack had 49 goals and 68 assists through 12 games (as of Wednesday), and he broke the MHSAA career assists record April 25 against Salem. His three assists in that game pushed his total at that time to 241, and despite playing only three seasons because 2020 was canceled due to COVID-19.
When the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) record book is updated this summer, Lockwood will be all over it as well. His 15 assists in an April 13 game against Northville rank second both in MHSAA history and nationally. His 140 assists in 2021 as a junior will be counted as a national record, as will his 236 points. Lockwood led Hartland to last season’s Division 1 championship game and runner-up finish, and he has the Eagles at 8-4 this spring. He will continue his career next season at University of Michigan.

Detroit Catholic Central Starts Fast, Holds Off Hudsonville Rally to Reign Again

HOWELL – Playing in its first boys lacrosse state championship game, Hudsonville looked a bit overwhelmed to start Saturday’s Division 1 Final against Detroit Catholic Central.
The Shamrocks jumped out to a 6-0 lead, and eventually led by eight goals during the second quarter.
However, the Eagles would fight back and eventually get the Shamrocks’ lead down to two goals before Catholic Central put the game away with a pair of late scores to prevail 14-10 and claim the program’s third Finals championship.
“Coach (Gunnar) Elder, they did a great job. They were very resilient. They hung in there and could have folded, but they did not,” Catholic Central coach Dave Wilson said of Hudsonville. “Things got real sticky, and I’m just proud of our guys for hanging in there and battling a tough team.”
The start to the game at Howell Parker ultimately became the deciding factor in the outcome. The Shamrocks (17-5) scored the first six goals over the opening seven minutes of play. That included a pair of goals from senior Ryan Dye scored over nine seconds.
“We knew one of the advantages we had was that we had a lot of players who have played in a state championship game before,” Dye said. “We wanted to use that to our advantage. We felt like we could jump out quick and early on them.”
The Shamrocks built that lead to 10-2 midway through the second quarter before Hudsonville (21-2) started to build momentum. The Eagles would score four of the final six goals in the half to give themselves a fighting chance during the second, down 12-6.
“It’s one of those things where you hop on the field, sometimes you need to get hit,” Elder said of the slow start. “Unfortunately, we spotted them too many and it kind of hit us like a ton of bricks.”
Hudsonville turned up the defensive pressure, keeping the Shamrocks scoreless in the third quarter while Dom Moliterno, Will Zuiderveen, and Andrew McAleece each found the net to make the score 12-9 entering the final quarter.
“The defense played out of their minds today. They did a great job. Catholic Central’s got a lot of firepower and we stuck with them, gave them a lot of fits, and created a lot of turnovers to give our offense a chance,” Elder said. “To be able to lean on those guys, it’s just a testament to all of their character.”
Early in the fourth quarter, Hudsonville’s Zaidan Dykstra scored to get the lead down to two goals at 12-10. Catholic Central used a time out to try and regroup, which it managed to do.
“This group was tough. They had a tough stretch and played some really good teams, but that’s why we do that. You always hope that stuff kind of pays off so they can endure moments like this,” Wilson said. “Anybody can draw anything on a whiteboard for a perfect scenario, but it’s what are we going to do when the wheels fall (off) and everything catches on fire? They’re teenagers, so it’s going to happen, but we found a way to straighten it out and hang on.”
Junior Peyton Sofran came through with his fourth goal of the game with eight minutes to play to end the Hudsonville run. Dye then put home his third goal with 2:46 to play, on an assist from Nick Edwards, to put the game out of reach.
“It was crunch time,” Dye said of his insurance goal. “It felt really good (to score). It was a great cut and a wonderful pass by Luke Kramer. It was just a really special play. It was the last shot of my high school career and my last goal, and it came from one of my closest friends.”
Dye added two assists to go with his three goals, while Kramer put home four goals for the Shamrocks.
Zuiderveen and Carson Campbell each had three goals to lead Hudsonville.
Elder had a message for each of his players after accepting the runner-up trophy, and that was to be proud of their historic season.
“There’s nothing to hang their heads about. Hudsonville has never made it this far in boys lacrosse,” Elder said. “We have had a lot of firsts this year. Winning the first Regional championship and our first Semifinal, and our first appearance in a state championship. My message this whole time was to just enjoy all this, no matter what happened. There’s absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. I have a whole community that is just so proud of these guys and what they’ve done all season. I can’t say enough good things about them.”
