e pregame stat sheet said the Valor Christian-Regis Jesuit boys lacrosse game should’ve been close — really close.

Regis entered the game ranked No. 2 in Colorado and 13th in the nation. Valor: No. 3 in the state and America’s 15th-ranked squad. Both teams also toted spotless league records into the game, Valor sitting pretty at 5-0 and Regis the owner of a perfect 3-0 mark.

If that wasn’t enough, Valor-Regis isn’t just another game. It’s an intense rivalry, fairs.

Despite what all the pregame material had to say, Harry Luong, Baden Brown, Buck Cunningham and all the Valor Eagles had something entirely di erent to say on the eld, rolling to a 10-3 win April 25 at a chilly and rainy Valor Stadium.

“It was a good team win today,” said Brown, who scored half of Valor’s goals. “It was a well-played game all around. We knew our plan going in. We just had to execute, and I think we did that well.”

Five of Brown’s seven shooting attempts found the back of the Regis Raiders’ net. e slickest of the junior’s goals came with 2 minutes, 29 seconds remaining in the second quarter, when he ripped a no-look, over-the-shoulder shot into Regis’s net for an 8-3 lead.
