Hereford boys lacrosse survives rally by Chesapeake for 8-6 win in Class 2A state quarterfinal

The rattling cowbells that accompanied Hereford boys lacrosse’s initial race to an easy Class 2A state quarterfinal win had ceased, replaced by the roars from the Chesapeake bench.

The Bulls didn’t know how they let it happen. A four-goal halftime lead had quickly rocketed to seven in the third. Senior attack JP Revitte scored his second goal, then unleashed a primal scream and pumped his fist. Nothing the Cougars had done yet had stopped Hereford from running the tempo from every won ground ball, every unfettered shot.
