Lacrosse doesn’t seem to stop for Ayden Davis.

After a spring in which he poured in 65 goals and dished out 31 assists as a sophomore for Butler, he’s continued playing for a pair of club teams — Central Westmoreland Elite (CWE), which is operated out of Latrobe, and the Annapolis Hawks — year-round.

Notably, he participated in four tournaments over an eight-day span earlier this month. His teams won three of those brackets as he played in front of scores of college coaches.

“It was a crazy week and a half,” Davis said. “It was a lot of games played.”

In total, he played in 17 contests, and the gauntlet was a good chance for him to showcase his propensity for the highlight reel-type of play.

One second, he can be cradling the ball, blocked off by a group of defenders. The next, as if by teleportation, he’ll be wheeling down the sideline or up the middle, threatening to charge all the way to the front of the opposition’s net.
