John Grant Jr. has made one of the toughest decisions of his lacrosse life and will not be playing with the Century 21 Lakers as he steps away for an excellent opportunity in his new home of Denver, Colorado. ‘Junior’ as he has become known to many in Peterborough as one of the best box and field lacrosse players in the world. He has been playing lacrosse for a Lakers’ team in his native Peterborough since he was five years old but the 40 year old has accepted a full time coaching position at a local private high school, Valor Christian high School, where he will be in charge of the lacrosse program.
The Lakers hope to hold a John Grant Jr. night during this year’s regular season.
