When Grant Evans was in the first grade, he looked out the back window of his home in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and saw his neighbor with a lacrosse stick, throwing a ball against a wall.
“That was before lacrosse was even big in my area at all,” the graduate student face-off specialist said. “So, I went outside and talked to him and soon after he gave me my first stick. The rest is history, I fell in love with it.”
Evans attended Upper Saint Clair High School, where his lacrosse skills began to flourish.
“My high school lacrosse coach, Brian Yates, always believed in me,” Evans said.
