Wando’s reining four-time state champion boys team earned three All-American nods with senior defender Owen Broucqsault, junior attack Tommy Marcoon and senior midfielder Andrew Hamilton. Broucqsault, the AAAAA Lower State Defender of the Year, led a Warriors stronghold that surrendered fewer than 10 goals in 11 of 16 games this season, averaging just eight through four playoff games. Marcoon, Lower State Player of the Year, led Wando with 42 goals and 29 assists. Hamilton ranked third in the state with a .750 faceoff percentage to go with 90 ground balls.
