John Connors was in sixth grade when he was introduced to the pageantry and tradition of Navy lacrosse courtesy of his older brother.
Brendan Connors took his official visit to Annapolis for the Army-Navy game and his younger brother tagged along.
"Packed stadium, jets flying over… just an amazing atmosphere. That was the day I decided I wanted to play Navy lacrosse," John said.
Brendan Connors became a four-year letterman and two-year starter on attack for the Midshipmen from 2007-2010. John Connors couldn't wait for the weekends he got to watch a game at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
