Washington, PA- Sept. 3 - Fairmont Senior's Head Coach, Jarrott Brogdon, will again be offering his "Learn To Play Clinic" for boys and girls through his Silverheels Youth Lacrosse Program at the Brownson House in Washington, PA. Silverheels also sponsors Fall Leagues for both boys and girls.

Vienna - Aug. 22 - Ohio Valley University men’s lacrosse coach, Carl Anderson welcomed Bridgeport's Mike Mullen as his first signed West Virginia recruit.  OVU will move from club status to the ranks of NCAA Division II this year.  Coach Anderson noted, “It was a feeling like no other for me because when I received Mullen’s signed National Letter of Intent in May it was the realization that we were official. Division II is a big jump from club and with Mullen signing, it was the first step in preparing ourselves for it.”  The fact that he was the first West Virginia recruit to sign was especially meaningful to Mullen.  “It’s really exciting to be the first player from West Virginia to sign at OVU.”

       Coach Anderson first saw Mullen play in the 2010 Meltdown preseason tournament hosted by Fairmont Senior. “I wasn’t really looking for anything or anyone in particular but wanted to see what West Virginia had to offer our program. Mullen caught my eye by the end of the day. He showed exceptional skill with both hands. Being a natural lefty, he had a wicked left-handed shot. I was impressed with his drive and intensity. That is the kind of kid I want to build our program on.”  After visiting the campus Mullen decided to accept the scholarship offer saying, “OVU is a Christian school with small class sizes, which is what I was looking for. Getting the opportunity to play lacrosse is a bonus.”

       Mullen is willing to play any position in college, but will most likely stay at attack.  “Mike played the attack position with Bridgeport and will carry on to play attack with us. Being a natural lefty, I want to sit Mike out on the right pipe.  I have confidence that he will be able to find good shots and find the open man to help our offense really push the ball and test the opposition. I am also confident in Mike’s skill set to be able to move him around the field and use him as a midfielder in an inverted offense.”

      Mullen’s high school coach (and father), Jim Mullen is excited about the growth of high school lacrosse in the state.  “If someone would've told me three years ago, when I started the program, that one of my players would be playing NCAA lacrosse I would've laughed at them.  It's great to see how far things have come in such a short time.  It's especially exciting to see a West Virginia college offering scholarships to the kids in the State.  Coach Anderson at OVU should be applauded for recruiting in the state.  This will only help grow the sport at the high school level.”

       Ohio Valley University and Bethany College join Wheeling Jesuit as the only NCAA men's lacrosse teams in the state. On the women's side, West Virginia Wesleyan will be fielding their first NCAA team this spring. They will be joining Shepherd University, who fielded their first varsity women's program last spring.
