High school lacrosse players Jack Brocato and Michael Ubriaco are lifelong friends on opposite sides of a deep-rooted lacrosse rivalry that began long before they were born.
On May 16, Brocato and his St. Paul's team will look to contain Ubriaco and Boys' Latin in the 100th game between the illustrious programs. The St. Paul's-Boys' Latin game brings together generations of families and friends, sometimes even pitting brother against brother or forcing a parent to share allegiances.
"Playing on opposing teams has always been a part of our friendship," said Brocato, a junior attackman. "Either playing against each other during the school year or even playing against each other in summer ball. Michael and I have been on many different teams, but it was very different from the St. Paul's-Boys' Latin rivalry. I believe we both take this rivalry very seriously, respecting the tradition of it, and we're always hoping our team comes out with the win."
