First-year attacker carrying out family roots in the Midwest

Since he was between six and seven-years-old, first-year attacker Bobby O’Grady was drawn to the game of lacrosse.

In fact, O’Grady and his older brother Mike have followed in their father’s footsteps. Their father, Perry, played for Boston College.

“He (Perry O’Grady) just threw a bunch of sticks and sports equipment out in front of us. I think the two of us (Bobby and Mike) naturally picked up the lacrosse stick and just started playing,” Bobby said. “Coming from a family with 26 cousins all playing lacrosse, I was surrounded by it. It was hard not to play and not to love it.
