Some teams take small steps when it comes to improving. For Fordham Prep, the 2011 season was more like one giant leap.

Logan Williamson’s progression as a lacrosse player has been as steady as it’s been impressive. A natural athlete who also excels in football, the 6-foot, 185-pound defenseman/long-stick midfielder combines a strong understanding of the game with an aggressive style of play. The Fordham Prep junior, who continues to grow his game, will have an opportunity […]
