The MICDS Boys Lacrosse team continued its tradition of excellence in 2025, finishing the season with a dominant 17–5 win over CBC to secure its 10th state championship in the last 11 years. The victory capped another remarkable year for a program that has become synonymous with championship culture.
On the offensive end, juniors Steele Crissman ’26 and Graham Faust ’26 were the driving forces, controlling the tempo and delivering in key moments throughout the season. Both earned All-State honors, with Crissman also being named an All-American for his standout performance and leadership. Crissman also picked up the honor of being named All-Metro Boys Lacrosse Player of the Year.
The defense was led by senior captains Tommy Cook ’25 and Will Frank ’25, whose grit, communication, and physical play anchored a unit that shut down some of the state’s top offenses. Their leadership was a defining element of the Rams’ identity all season.
Sophomore sensation Justin Bishop ’27 emerged as one of the brightest young stars in the country, earning All-American honors as just a 10th grader—a rare achievement that speaks to his incredible skill and maturity on the field.
In addition to Crissman, Bishop, and Faust, All-State honors also went to Mike Gutchewsky ’26 and Ian Spakowski ’26, highlighting the depth and balance of this championship roster.
Team captains Luke Koman ’25, Frank, Cook, and Crissman led with passion and purpose, setting the tone for a group that combined veteran leadership with emerging talent.
The 2025 campaign was a fitting tribute to an extraordinary senior class whose legacy of leadership, toughness, and championship pedigree will leave a lasting impact on the MICDS program for years to come.
