I doubt he has much of a reputation in the lacrosse circuit despite the Marshall player's comments to his mom. With McLean and potentially Langley games on the horizon and then Regionals, that was maybe the last time he plays in a lacrosse game in his life. If he wants to score in a game to end his career then who cares? Toughen up.

The most likely reason this happens is that a bench player who rarely sees the field let alone scores goals finally get one in the back of the net. I think it is a good time to cheer that on. It is never classless to celebrate a score. Your description was celebrating. Unless there was mocking or unsportsmanlike behavior no reason to label it classless. At one time or another all players end up on both sides of these games.

This is a ridiculous statement. What is the difference between 19 and 18. Or 19 and 20. It makes no difference and has no baring on if the coach/program is classy or not. Class is shown in the way the team plays, does the coach sub players out, do they try and score with 5 seconds in the game, do they run around taking cheap shots at people, do they talk trash and celebrate obnoxiously.

The score does not indicate class at all. Would you rather a team pass the ball around for 3 minutes and not shoot, or play all the backups, let them play with a running clock. I would argue that passing the ball around for 3 minutes is more a slap in the face to opposing team.

The main difference with lacrosse is that the scores are often lopsided because there's such a big talent gap. It's not the fault of Yorktown or Langley that Marshall is just not good at lacrosse (and really never has been). Dan Hale and Jerry Lin didn't mind beating down Yorktown and Langley at basketball when Marshall was in its prime a few years ago.
