From the Capital-Gazette:
Six of the greatest lacrosse figures in Anne Arundel County
history were formally inducted into the Chesapeake Chapter of US Lacrosse Hall
of Fame on Thursday night.
It was an emotional night filled with
family, friends and fond memories. It was a wonderful affair that showed
clearly why the Chesapeake Chapter is so vitally important.
This region has produced a remarkable number
of outstanding lacrosse players and coaches. Those individuals whose
accomplishments stick out deserve special recognition.
Certain players and coaches that achieved at
a particularly high level warrant consideration for the National Hall of Fame
administered by US Lacrosse. In order to be eligible for the national shrine,
individuals must first be members of a regional hall of fame.
There is a good chance some of Thursday
night’s honorees could wind up in the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame. Josh
Sims, who was always one of the best players on the field whether at Severn
School, Princeton University or with the Baltimore Bayhawks, has impeccable
credentials and should be a shoo-in.
Megan Riley Clark has an awfully darn
impressive resume as well, having done the same things that have put other
women’s players into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame. The former South River
and James Madison star played on
the United States Under-19 national team, was the Colonial Athletic Association
Player of the Year and a two-time, first team All-American.

Kate Graw Lamond, who played at Severn and Dartmouth, also has an impressive history
and should be under consideration. You
