The Mountain Brook High School Varsity Boys and Girls Lacrosse teams made history last weekend, each capturing state championship titles and capping off a remarkable season for the Spartan lacrosse program.
The Varsity Girls delivered a commanding 15-10 victory over Hoover High School to claim their fifth consecutive state championship, a testament to the program’s dominance and consistency. The win was especially meaningful as it marked the final game for longtime head coach Tom Lewis, who is retiring from leading the MBHS Girls Varsity team. With 30 years of experience, he will remain involved by continuing to coach youth lacrosse. Under his leadership, the program has flourished, producing top-tier talent and a legacy of excellence.
The 2025 girls roster includes three standout players committed to playing at the collegiate level:
Meghan Donahue, Midfield – Wofford College, Division I, Grayson Crowe, midfield (1st Team All-State) – Rollins College, Division II, and Ashby Russell, defense (2nd Team All-State) – Chapman University, Division III.
On the boys’ side, Head Coach Mike Catenacci, now in his third year at the helm, guided the Varsity Boys to a thrilling 13-11 championship victory over Vestavia Hills. The Spartans closed the regular season with a 10-2 record.
The boys’ defense anchored the team, yielding less than 5 goals against per game. Seniors Miller Brooks (1st Team All-State, Defense), Jack Walthall (All-Star Selection, Defense), and Hayden DiVenere were key contributors. Junior Luke Catenacci (All-Star Selection, Goalie) led the defense in the cage for the Spartans with an impressive save rate of 64%.
Other standout players included Senior midfielder Truman Lee, Junior Roscoe Bare (2nd Team All-State, Attack), Junior Sam Smith (All-Star Selection, Midfield), and Sophomore Archie Andrews (1st Team All-State, Midfield).
Congratulations to both Spartan teams, their coaches, and the entire Mountain Brook lacrosse community on an extraordinary season and a championship weekend to remember.
