Victor Diaso wins 2022 James C. Metzger Lacrosse Leadership Award representing Manhasset High School

The annual James C. Metzger Leadership Award for Nassau County high school boys’ lacrosse was presented to one player on each of the eight teams that competed in the finals of the 2022 Section VIII Nassau County high school boys’ lacrosse championships.

Each award recipient reflected the tenacity, honesty, commitment and positive attitude required in Nassau lacrosse. Each player also possessed the ability to inspire others on and off the field. One of the eight award recipients is senior defense/long stick midfield Victor Diaso of Manhasset High School.

The lacrosse championships were held on Tuesday-Thursday, May 31-June 2, at Hofstra University. In the Class C championship game, Manhasset defeated South Side High School of Rockville Centre 14-4.

The awards were presented by 1970s Long Island lacrosse star James C. Metzger. A three-sport athlete at Half Hollow Hills East in Dix Hills, Metzger received the 1977 Lt. Ray Enners Award for outstanding Suffolk County lacrosse player when he scored 102 points and received All-American honors. An All-American lacrosse player at Hofstra University, Metzger is the founder and chairman of Whitmore – The Agency, an insurance and financial services firm in Garden City.
