Bishop Machebeuf hires Mattei as boys lacrosse coach

There’s another Mattei entering Colorado’s coaching ranks.

Colton Mattei, the son of longtime Regis Jesuit girls basketball coach Carl, was hired as Bishop Machebeuf’s boys lacrosse coach in December, according to Carl. He replaces Austin Lanpher.

Mattei played lacrosse at Regis from 2006-10, where he helped the Raiders to a runner-up finish as a senior. He also played hockey.

Mattei then moved on to play for Mercer, a Division I program in Georgia. After graduating, he coached club lacrosse in Georgia at the 11- and 13-under levels.

This is his first head coaching job at a high school.

Machebeuf went 0-14 last season, and is actually riding a 17-game losing streak dating back to the 2013 season. A 4A program, the Buffaloes play in the Metro League.
