Five boys lacrosse players named all-league

Five of Fallbrook High School's boys lacrosse players were given all-league honors by the Valley League coaches.

"We were pretty happy for that," said Fallbrook assistant coach Austin Jenkin.

Tim Murray, Michael Ponce, and Hunter Stites were selected to the league's second team. Jordan Ingerson and Aron Weis were given honorable mention recognition.

"It's a great honor for those kids," Jenkin said. "It shows who the leaders were and who really stepped up to the plate this year."

Fallbrook's 8-12 overall season record included a 1-3 mark in Valley League matches, so second team was the highest level for any Fallbrook player.

"It was hard to compete against all the first-teamers out of El Camino and Valley Center," Jenkin said.

The all-league honors were the first for all five of the Fallbrook players.

"I was pretty proud of all of them, and it's an honor to be on that list," Jenkin said.

Ingerson was a junior during the 2016 season. Murray, Ponce, and Weis were sophomores. Stites was a freshman.

"We're going to have a pretty solid team for the next two years hopefully," Jenkin said.
