UT BOYS: Emotional Bingham Upsets No. 22 Jordan, 10-9

Bingham head coach Brian Morris said his team went out Monday night with the intention of honoring former Miners player and Weber freshman/sophomore team coach Blake Strebel, who died last week in a traffic accident.

Strebel would have been proud of what his former team accomplished.

Junior attackman Cole Christensen scored a team-high three goals, including what stood up to be the game-winner, to lead Bingham to a 10-9 upset victory over No. 22 Jordan in a Utah High School Lacrosse League Division A game.

Senior attackman Cameron Edmunds and senior middie Jake Arthur each added a pair of goals, as Bingham (8-6) posted its first-ever win over a Top 25 team.

Senior middie Brett Everill had a goal and an assist, and junior attackman Peter Tschaggeny and junior middie Chase Newton each scored once.

Defensively, freshman goalie Aaron Hansen saved 10 shots.

The game was tied, 7-7, at the end of the third quarter, but Bingham scored three unanswered goals in less than five minutes to take a 10-7 lead. Christensen capped the run when he fired home a shot with 7:38 to play.

Jordan closed within 10-9 on a goal by senior attackman Matt Brunner with 4:19 remaining, but Bingham held on to score its biggest win of the season.

“The team wanted to play this game in Blake’s honor, and they put in a fantastic effort all four quarters,” Morris said. “We had everybody hustling, everybody talking. It was a total team effort. It was the best game we played all year.”

In defeat, Brunner and senior attackman Chase Gerber each finished with a co-game-high four points on three goals and an assist for Jordan (10-1), which had its season-opening, 10-game winning streak snapped just one game after scoring its biggest win of the season against Bountiful.“It was not the same team that played Friday,”

Jordan head coach John Barraco said. “I think maybe were a little overconfident. Bingham showed up ready to play, and we didn’t.”
