The 1972 Lacrosse Team
The only undefeated and untied lacrosse team in EHS history, the 1972 lacrosse team ended its season with a 12-0 record, a scoring average of 10 goals per game, and having only allowed an average of three goals per game.
Kin Nevitt ’73 (EHS Hall of Fame 1993), team co-captain and attackman, set a school record with 34 goals and was named regional All-American by the U.S. Lacrosse Coaches Association. Attackman Scotty Farrar ’72 set a school record with 50 total points with 21 goals and 29 assists. Charlie Bagley ’72, co-captain and goalie, also set a school record with 141 saves.
The season was highlighted by two wins against Woodberry and the 12-6 defeat of perennial lacrosse powerhouse St. Mary’s of Annapolis. Co-captain Kin Nevitt attributes the team’s strength and success to Coach Joe Shelor.
“It started with Joe,” said Mr. Nevitt. “He drove the athletes. He was a no nonsense guy who no one would question. He brought football players and a core group of athletes together to create the best team in the state.”
