going to stick to playing summer league and getting my career on the way.”
Jack: “Probably not coaching, but after college I want to try to play in [men’s league]. I definitely still want to play.”
What can you say about the growth of the sport in Massachusetts?
Will: “You can’t go anywhere without seeing a net in someone’s yard. Just driving by that, it’s exciting to me. It really wasn’t like that when I was younger. In such a short amount of time, I can see the growth of this sport. Down the road, who knows how big it’ll become? Just in Massachusetts alone, I constantly see kids with sticks in their hand. It’s exciting.”
Jack: “Lacrosse has always been big on the east coast and it’s definitely grown a lot.”
What was it like playing with your brothers?
Will: “In high school, I always thought it was so cool to have my little brother on the team. I always felt like there was this unspoken connection. He sees the field better than anyone I have ever played with. It’s no surprise that he could find me with a quick feed for a goal. I think it really strengthened our relationship. Then, having him play with me at Clark was a dream come true. I didn’t think that would ever happen. I thought we would go our separate ways after high school. But, it ended up working out.”
Jack: “I didn’t really play with my older brother Sam except for [playing in] the backyard. But playing with Will, we are only two years apart and we knew what each other were doing when we were on the field. After he graduated high school, I thought that was the last time I would play with him. But I was lucky enough to be able to go the same college as him and play two more years with him. It was an awesome feeling being able to play with your older brother.”
