Jim Scully Named Varsity Lacrosse Coach

We are thrilled to announce that Jim Scully will be our varsity lacrosse coach, effective immediately. Jim began playing lacrosse while attending Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, New Jersey. After college, his first coaching jobs were at three Massachusetts high schools- St. John’s Prep in Danvers, The Landmark School in Beverly, and Lawrence Academy in Groton as he began his teaching and coaching career. Coaching in the midst of New England’s strong lacrosse tradition exposed him to a number of great players and coaches and solidified his love affair with the game. 
 
Jim and his wife came to Cleveland in 1994 when he took a job teaching history at Hawken. With very few Ohio schools playing lacrosse at the time, he helped start Hawken’s first middle school lacrosse team in 2000. In 2009, he was offered the varsity head coaching position at Hawken and, during his seven seasons as head coach, his teams went 85-41 and made two trips to the state final four. In 2015, he was named Coach of the Year by the Ohio High School Lacrosse Association, Northeast Region.
 
Jim has also coached for the Burning River Lacrosse club of Cleveland and led teams as they competed in lacrosse hotbeds like New York, Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania against some of the best programs in the country. 
 
We are thrilled to have Jim at the helm of our boys lacrosse program!
