Consistency the goal for Shady Side lacrosse coach

Nicholas Tolomeo's feature on the Shady Side Academy lacrosse team after its PIAA tournament loss to Mt. Lebanon:

"When Darrell Schmitt returned as coach of the Shady Side Academy boys' lacrosse program after a six-year absence, he represented the fourth coach in four years for the seniors on the team.

Schmitt was well aware of this, so his first task on the job was sitting the seniors down and asking them what he could do to make their last season a positive experience.

The seniors wanted custom lacrosse gloves -- check.

The seniors wanted Nike gear -- check."
