Trust won’t be an issue for next year’s Bishop Guertin boys lacrosse team.

During an end-of-season meeting, Cardinals head coach Chris Cameron named his four captains for the 2010 campaign. All four reside in Bedford.

Matt Bayne, Nick Caluccio and Jack Krzyston each enter their second year as captains, while Adam Hall joins the trio in leading Guertin, which hopes to bounce back and regain the Division I title it recently relinquished.

The four Cardinals have played together in the Bedford youth program, and that experience continues to pay dividends.

“It’s a trust factor,” said Caluccio. “We can rely on our other teammates to make the plays, especially the Bedford players, because we know they are going to be able to get the job done.”

Next year there will likely be double digit Bedford players on the Cardinal roster, and Cameron, the team’s mentor, also resides in the town.

Hall said having known each other on and off the field for so long has led to a chemistry that makes the team a perennial threat to reach the D-I championship contest.

“We know each other’s tendencies, and we know each other personally as well,” said Hall. “Because of that, we know what the other person wants to do when they get the ball.”

The feeder program in Bedford has a proven track record, and has grown to support about 350 athletes per year.

Coaches and players have also credited the youth program with the success of the Bedford High School program in its first varsity season.

“Bedford has always been a hotbed for lacrosse in New Hampshire,” said Bayne. “We’ve produced a lot of guys who have come out of the town and done some really good things.”

Krzyston and Bayne are offensive threats for the Cardinals, while Hall and Caluccio anchor the defense.

Cameron said each of the captains brings different qualities to the team, but one they share is the motivation improve themselves and the team.

When the four seniors graduate in 2010, they will leave a legacy for the younger players on the team.

“All four of us can contribute leadership on and off the field,” said Krzyston. “I think what we do will help the younger players to step up their game when we leave.”

The Bishop Guertin mentor said he has been involved with the Bedford youth programs for about 10 years, and he’s glad several of his players have followed him to the varsity level.

“I think (the Bedford feeder program) is the best in the state by far,” said Cameron. “We’re just doing the right things.”
