When the game was over, and the Madison boys’ lacrosse team had squeaked out an 8-7 win over South County in Vienna, Warhawks goalkeeper Charlie Hassett sprinted to his home sideline. Coach Aaron Solomon was there to greet him with a bear hug.

“There you go, Charlie!” Solomon screamed while trying to catch his breath.
