Bert Innella is a contributor for Friday Night Film Room, covering the both high school and adult lacrosse league from the only perspective that matters — between the pipes.
A starting goalie for the Titans and former Verizon Wireless MVP, Bert brings firsthand knowledge of the game to his coverage, which admittedly comes with some bias and zero apologies for it. When he's not posting 22-save nights or reminding anyone within earshot about the Titans' win streak, he's breaking down games with the kind of insight only a guy who's taken a shot off the shin at 9pm on a Tuesday can offer.
His writing interests include goalie performance, stick technology failures, and making sure the historical record accurately reflects how good the Titans are.
The Cougars hit Community School of Davidson with an 8-0 opening quarter and never let the playoff game become complicated, rolling 16-4 behind big nights from Jason Leonard and James Hedley.
In a game with almost no breathing room, Ardrey Kell found enough defense and patience to turn Green Level away, 6-5.
The Vikings brought a 20-2 record and enough firepower to make the road trip feel rude, ending Millbrook's run with a playoff rout in Raleigh.
The Cougars kept their postseason machine humming, burying North Lincoln behind 21 goals, a massive faceoff edge, and a stat sheet full of jersey-number receipts.
Ashley’s verified 16-8 playoff win had enough box-score substance to tell a real story, and Ethan Tribble was right in the middle of it.
The Knights cleared one of the cleaner reality checks on the board: verified winner, verified score, and enough season context to make the result feel as sturdy as the margin.
