NORTH EAST — When Rising Sun boys’ lacrosse works its offense in practice, head coach Joe Bunk said he will make his team pass the ball for minutes at a time. Bunk feels those drawn out stretches have developed a strong sense of patience from his offense. “During practices, there are times where we will actually hold the ball for two minutes and count it before we even let them shoot and it’s for times when we’re either man-down or trying to kill the clock or whatever we’re doing,” Bunk said.
