WHY BROWN?: They have been several alumni from Belmont Hill who also went on to play lacrosse at Brown and all of them had amazing experiences. One person in particular who influenced my decision was Charlie Kenney. He played lacrosse at both Brown and Belmont Hill. He left such a great legacy at both institutions and I can only hope to mirror some of his amazing qualities.
