Mars’ Grieco named WPIAL 2A Lacrosse Player of Year
ADAMS TWP — Following a superb sophomore season that included 81 goals, Enzo Grieco’s role changed for the Mars lacrosse team and it’s led to him becoming an even more dominant player.
A wealth of talent graduated from last year’s state championship team, including Wesley Scurci, Austin Cote, Josh Seipp and Jacob Caringola, who combined to contribute 108 assists during the 2022 season.
“Last year, Enzo was primarily a finisher,” said Mars coach Bob Marcoux. “We had a lot of guys getting him the ball, but with so many of them gone, we needed him to initiate things a lot more this season.”
An attackman, Enzo has responded by tallying 34 assists through 22 games for the Planets (20-2), second on the team to Kyle McEwen’s 36. He has not lost his scoring touch, either, recently becoming just the second player in program history to reach 100 goals in a season. He enters Saturday’s state quarterfinal against Susquehannock with 101 scores.
“I try to stay away from keeping track of stats,” Enzo said. “My dad (Vince Grieco) knows a lot about lacrosse and he told me before this season that my job was to make the players around me better. I have to make sure my hands are free not only to get shots off, but also to pass.”
For his efforts, Enzo Grieco was recently named WPIAL Class 2A Boys Lacrosse Player of the Year.
