(March 14, 2008) 2008 Michael Breschi Scholarship
The Men’s Division Coaches Council is proud to announce that applications for the 2008 Michael Breschi Scholarship are now being accepted. The scholarship is awarded to two (2) graduating high school seniors who plan to attend college and are the son or daughter of a coach. The parent or guardian can be either a male or female coach in high school or college, and should be a full-time employee of an educational institution. The Michael Breschi Scholarship was established in 2007 to honor the life of Michael Breschi, son of Ohio State's Head Men's Lacrosse Coach Joe Breschi. The scholarship was established to preserve Michael’s memory and pass on the steadfast support of the lacrosse community. It is the hopes of Coach Breschi’s fellow coaches, that in awarding this scholarship to the child of another lacrosse coach, they might continue to show their support and care to the Breschi family.

Men’s Division Award Winners
2006 US Lacrosse Men’s High School Coach Carroll Award
The 2007 Gerald J. Carroll, Jr. exemplary coaching award was presented to Chris Kenneally, Fayetteville Manlius High School; Manlius, NY. Named in memory of Gerald J. Carroll, Jr. who spent a good part of his brief 46 years playing and coaching lacrosse, greater than his love for the sport, however, was his commitment to give back to the young, the lifetime of lessons he took from the game. His contribution to lacrosse may be conclusively felt in the positive influence he exerted on so many of his students. This award annually recognizes that high school lacrosse coach whose success is best measured not in victories, but in the support and guidance given to the balanced growth and development of young men who play the game of lacrosse.
