Vette scored three times in Harper Creek 11-0 win over Pennfield in the All-City semifinal.
"Brady is a player you love to coach and hate to gameplan against. He is a gritty, athletic player who can cause turnovers in the ride and score with ease. The numbers he has been putting up are result of his hard work and the time he's put into the offseason," Harper Creek lacrosse coach Devin Higgins said.
