🏆 MCPARTLAND, RINALDI CLOSE PREP CAREERS AS CHAMPIONS‼️🥍

Scranton Prep seniors Will McPartland and Donato Rinaldi joined NEPA Lacrosse after helping lead the Cavaliers through a historic 20-1 season.

Prep captured the Wyoming Valley Conference championship, repeated as District 2 Class 2A champion, earned the program’s first home PIAA tournament victory and advanced to the state quarterfinals for the second consecutive year.

McPartland, our 2026 NEPA Lacrosse Boys Player of the Year, returned after missing his entire junior season with a torn ACL and finished with 57 goals and 20 assists for 77 points.

The Fairfield commit said watching Prep fall short while he was sidelined motivated him throughout his recovery. After continuing to lead and support his teammates from the sideline, he returned determined to help the Cavaliers reclaim the conference and district championships.

McPartland also earned WVC Coaches’ Offensive Player of the Year, First Team All-Conference and NEPA Lacrosse All-District honors. As he prepares to join Fairfield, his focus is simple: arrive ready to compete, trust his game and adjust to a new group of teammates and coaches.

Rinaldi, our Boys Co-Defensive Player of the Year, helped anchor a Prep defense that allowed only 6.0 goals per game.

He credited the unit’s success to the players’ close friendships away from the field and their willingness to hold one another accountable. Rinaldi took particular pride in watching younger and less-experienced defenders step into larger roles and help the Cavaliers maintain one of District 2’s strongest defensive groups.

A WVC Coaches’ First Team selection and member of the NEPA Lacrosse All-District Team, Rinaldi said the season reinforced the importance of never giving up. Prep survived several close and overtime games, repeatedly responding when faced with adversity.

Both seniors also reflected on continuing strong family traditions within the Scranton Prep program. Rinaldi shared the field with his younger brother after previously playing alongside an older brother and cousin, while McPartland competed alongside two of his brothers during his final season.
