It was great. I went from Annapolis to Philips Andover. I played defense in Annapolis. When I got to Andover, I played attack. And then at Wesleyan, the first year I was on defense, and then a year on attack and midfield and was a back- up goalie. It was fun. I got to do a lot of different things. It was a good experience. We weren’t too good my first two years. My second two years we had really good teams in the NESCAC. There is a lot of good lacrosse up here in New England. It was a little different than what I was used to in Annapolis, a little more stick swinging, a little more chopping, but it’s good. Of course, it’s grown and now it’s really a big, big part of New England sports.
Describe the impact the sport of lacrosse has had on your entire family.
Pretty big. It’s a little different than football. Lacrosse is a sport you like to practice. I honestly looked forward every day to going out on the practice field, whether it was doing fast-break drills or one- on-ones or scrimmaging. Football is more of a grind-it-out kind of sport and sometimes practice isn’t the most fun thing, but lacrosse it always was. I always looked forward to lacrosse season. We moved from Cleveland [with the Browns] to Long Island [with the Jets], and that was kind of the formative years of the kids growing up, so they had a stick in their hand. Once we got to New England, they played every spring, every summer. Stephen got a scholarship to Rutgers. Amanda had a good career as
Wesleyan and Brian [played]
