We don’t spend very many words on Washington Catholic Athletic Conference lacrosse here at DCist. But if the high schoolers in that league are going to start scoring goals from 80 yards out on a regular basis, well, we’ll have to rethink that editorial decision.

The Post’s Eric Detweiler was on hand when the amazing play went down:

There were still more than 10 seconds left in Monday’s Washington Catholic Athletic Conference boys’ lacrosse championship when Gonzaga’s Matt Borda stepped behind his own goal to throw a full-field pass. Nursing a one-goal lead, the sophomore defenseman hoped to get the clock moving and all but end the game.

Instead — with the Good Counsel defense pressed up trying to cause a turnover — the heave found the back of the net for an improbable insurance goal that sent Borda sprinting around high-fiving his defensive teammates and got the Eagles on the sideline bouncing. With a second straight title-game comeback for Gonzaga assured, the play proved a well-deserved chance to kick off the celebration of its 10-8 win a little early.

“I’ve never seen something like that in a game,” fourth-year Gonzaga head coach Casey O’Neill told NBCWashington.com. “It was absolutely unbelievable. I didn’t know what to do.”

Beats us, Coach — perhaps you may want to give the kid some tips on handling his sure-to-be-fleeting viral fame?
