Frankly, you cold have moved John Grant Sr up the list! He was a nightmare to try to stop and most of the time no one could. Had the pleasure of watching some of the best on the planet try to defend him playing box with little or no success. His only drawback? He was just too nice off the field and had no time to try to self-promote. The story goes when he answered the phone and was told he had been inducted into the Hall of Fame he responded, are you sure you have the right John Grant?

what about Frank Urso. I watched him play at md. as a fellow terp. He made wilder more creatively outragious goals than anyone ive ever seen around his back, behind the neck, tumbling flying through the air, he was constantly double and triple teamed. He was better at breaking down a defense from up top and getting to the goal and finishing or making a great feed Didnt see jimmy brown but urso was by far the best ive ever seen

Frank Urso was the prototype for what everyone now looks for in a D1 middie. Watching him blow a goalie away from the restraining line was unforgettable to anyone who saw it. He was the eye of the storm in every game he played in. He had every possible tool for a midfielder, in an era when all middies also played defense.

Google him, and read the archived Sports Illustrated article about him. You’ll see.

Dave Morrow could be on that list too. One of the first players from a non traditional area to make an impact as a player, one of the 2 dominant defensemen from his era along with Petrimala and no one has a bigger impact on the equipment and marketing of the sport than he has.

Unfortunately, I’ve no idea if the various reservation teams kept records or even team rosters of any kind. Each year when the Oneidas came to scrimmage there were some familiar faces and some new ones. Because they were scrimmages rather than games, I doubt the Hamilton athletic office would have retained any info. Also, I’m not sure who else they played, or even if the reservation fields a team! Bottom line, I’m no help. But there’s a book waiting to be written about lacrosse on the Indian Reservations!!

there are a lot of field players on my list… probably b/c I was raised playing field.
But Box certainly has its reps on the list. JG Sr, Gait, Gait, OL… that’s 4 right there. And Coffman was no slough in the box game either.
Pretty diverse considering my Uhmericanism.
