Dominic Corto passes Mailman for all-time lacrosse points

by Ben Rohrbaugh

March 25, 2019 marked a time of celebration for the York Suburban boys’ lacrosse team. The Trojans hosted a game against New Oxford, which ended in a win. This was not the only great thing that happened. Junior Dominic Corto surpassed Colin Mailman, a current Division 1 lacrosse player at Drexel University, for the school’s all-time scoring record. Corto now has 193 all-time points and is off to a fast start this season.

His immediate feeling of the historic accomplishment, he felt very gratified. “I realized that I just left my mark at York Suburban Lacrosse history” Corto said. “I knew this would be a moment I would remember forever.” His teammates and coaching staff also felt very proud.“They (Corto’s teammates) were all hyping me up and making it an even better of a moment.”

The head coach of the boy’s team is Frank Corto, Dominic’s father. Obviously, he was very proud of his son for the amazing achievement. Corto touched on how him and his father celebrated the special moment. “We took a picture with the ball and saved the ball to have it as a memory.”

After his time at YS, Dominic is looking to go to college and continue to playing lacrosse. Corto mentioned that he has many schools on his radar, including Division 1 Towson University as well as Penn State. Corto has several Division 3 schools also looking at him. Colleges have been recruiting Corto, and he will receive more offers as his senior season approaches.

One piece of advice Corto has for underclassmen and athletes who want to succeed. Corto states “If you believe you can accomplish something, all you have to do is put the work in to do it.” This message goes way past sports, and is a great message for life.

Corto is looking to leave even more of an impact on the school as he already has. Through his skills and leadership, the Trojans will be just fine this season. Corto has a very promising future, and if keeps doing what he is doing, he will be well on his way to more success.
