NCRC Boys Lacrosse Congratulates Coach John Piper!!

John Piper, North Carroll High School head varsity boys’ lacrosse coach, was announced as the 2007 Gerald J. Carroll, Jr., Exemplary Coaching Award winner. The Award was presented at the 2008 US Lacrosse National Convention held in Philadelphia in January.

 

The Carroll Award is presented to the national boys’ high school coach of the year and is dedicated ‘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, and the lifetime of lessons he took from the game.

 

This award honors those coaches who exemplify the ideals of the game as is inscribed on the plaque, “In recognition of Coach Piper’s support for players in their growth as young adults and leaders on and off the playing field, and whose success is best measured not in victories but in the care and guidance given to the balanced development of young men who play the game.”
