Peabody High’s Aidan Haight was the do-it-all Tanner in Tuesday evening’s boys lacrosse game against Winthrop, but his team fell to the Vikings in a 9-7 final.
Haight made 18 saves between the pipes, but didn’t stop there. Not only did the netminder dish out an assist, but he scored a goal from the other side of the field in a jaw-dropping moment.
“He was incredibly dialed in today – one of the best games I’ve ever seen him play,” said Peabody Coach Jason Marshall, who also helms the Peabody-Saugus-Swampscott boys hockey team during winters.
Peabody’s Stephen Brown netted a hat trick and delivered an assist, while Jason Houlden – playing in his first game after a preseason injury – also found the back of the net.
The Tanners host city rival Bishop Fenwick Thursday with opening face-off set for 6:30 p.m.
