I think it's important to note that highlight video was posted
in Decemeber of his freshman year of high school.

Wow, 6'1'' and he's probably around 15?

[quote]Mackenzie was the most valuable player on offense,
defense, as well as the faceoff x this weekend for BC. Starting
at the x, his skills were immediately made apparent. Mackenzie’s
hand speed and physical dominance allowed for him to go hot out
the front and create his own fast breaks. When he wasn’t able to
push the ball forward, he was still usually able to get the
clamp and draw it back to his wings. While most faceoff guys
take off once possession is gained, Mackenzie usually stayed on
for a shift on the offensive end and contributed a number of
goals and assists over the weekend. When things did happen to go
the other way, his size and speed were pivotal in killing the
odd man rushes and preventing transition goals from the other
team.[/quote]

[quote]“Mackenzie makes an impact in all areas of the game,”
said Hoskins. “He played a key role for us in transition as one
of our top face-off specialists and was one of our main
contributors offensively.” sky is the limit as far as Rope’s
future goes in field lacrosse, as long as he continues to put
forth the tremendous work effort he’s shown so far. Selected as
a U-13 tournament all-star at the Denver team camp last summer,
this is the second straight year that Mackenzie has been named
to the tournament all-star team after moving up an age division
in 2012,” said Hoskins. “Mackenzie is a great athlete and looks
to have a very bright future in outdoor lacrosse.”[/quote]
Looks like he can be used to faceoff, play offense, play
defense, etc. And some time to grow!

After learning that yet another one of his players has decided
on Stony Brook University, Sachem North coach Jay Mauro took a
moment to reflect.
“It’s kind of crazy how it’s working out,” Mauro said.
Indeed, four current Flaming Arrows have now verballed to the
Seawolves. And three former Sachem North players are current on
the SBU roster.
Does any other high school from sea to shining sea have more
players attending or en route to a D-I lax program? We think
not. Stony Brook is located just eight miles north of Sachem
North’s Lake Ronkonkoma campus.
The latest verbal came on Tuesday when 2016 attackman Tom Haun
decided on SBU, a commitment first reported when it was made by
Joe Lombardi on LaxLessons.com’s Lacrosse Insider premium
coverage section.
“He is tough, quick and has a great stick,” Mauro said of the
5-foot-8, 140-pound Haun, a lefty. “He’s an extremely diligent
worker with a great attitude. It’s team-first and all he cares
about is winning.”
Now, here’s a Q&A with Tom on his commitment.
What were the main factors in your decision?
Stony Brook has a great academic reputation and is a
university-teaching hospital. I have an interest in a career in
the medical field. I enjoyed meeting (Stony Brook Head) Coach
(Jim) Nagle and (Assistant) Coach (Craig) Gibson.I appreciated
Coach Nagle’s great advice and no-pressure approach.
It will also be great to play again at the college level with
my teammates at Sachem North: Joe Caridi Mike Calvagna and
Anthony Ross.
What other schools were you considering and what schools did you
visit?
I also considered Maryland, Towson and Rutgers and visited all
three schools.
What are your strengths as a player and how would you describe
your style of play?
I think I have strong stick skills, very good change of
direction and great vision on the field.
What area of your game do you need to work on?
I am working on getting stronger and faster and getting more
velocity on my shot.
How did you get introduced to lacrosse and what other sports
have you played?
I started playing in second grade and was lucky enough to have
Dave Shanahan as my first coach. He made the game fun for
second-graders and really gave us all a strong foundation of the
game over the next couple of years.
I played a ton of hockey locally and for the Tour Roadrunners, a
travel roller hockey team coached by Anthony Violante. Our team
was a two-time North Roller hockey champion. I also played ice
hockey, basketball, volleyball and football.
What travel team do you play on what showcase events did you
participate in?
Sachem stays together as a team over the summer and we play
against all the elite travel teams and do very well.
I played for Suffolk in the Nassau/Suffolk Long Island Showcase
at St. Joseph’s College.
Any final thoughts?
I want to thank Coach Mauro, (Assistant/Offensive Coordinator)
Coach (Paul) Benway, (Assistant/Defensive Coordinator) Coach
(John) Lang and the rest of the (Sachem North) coaching staff
for the guidance and the endless hours they put in developing
Sachem lacrosse players. Special thanks to Coach Mauro for all
the help in the recruiting process.

Yea baby,,,Sachem always has a reputation of creating
outstanding Athletes in Lacrosse a Football. Even back in the
80's, baseball. I graduated from Sachem back in the mid 80's,
showing my age, and Football was our thing with the Flaming
Arrows. Stars such as Jumbo Elliot, who went to Michigan I do
believe, and then the NFL.. In 1983/84 they were state
champs.... Coach Fred fusaro was the man back then
I just love to see our local athletes want to play for SB and
wanting to stay closer to home. This is the reason why year
after year our fan base is growing larger. Sachem is a HUGE
school and that alone can ad thousands of additional fans to
lavalle stadium. Love it. Love it !!!!!!!
