Cole is a perfect example of how the recruiting process can work for someone who stays local and focuses on their game.
Jeff Mayer named Offensive Coordinator for Wando
Big Congrats to LGH Guidance Director, Jeff Mayer on being named Wandoâs Offensive Coordinator. Watch out for the Warriors in 2020. Mayerâs hire makes him the 10th LGH coach who also coaches at a high school program.
Chris Buechele and Jeff Mayer are the newest LGH Coaches to sign on as High School Coaches. Both coaches are program starters. Mayer started the AMHS Program while Buechele spearheaded the interest level to make a Wando Lacrosse team back in 2005.
Our 2020 goes out with a bang!
Lacrosse in SC just keeps improving. The high school division was the most competitive we have seen at the Palmetto Shootout. Other local teams gave us a run for our money, but in the end our Hardshells stayed on top of the state with another championship. With the exception of one, all of these players have grown up in the LGH program. Our coaches for the weekend were Jeff Mayer (Wando offensive coordinator) Palmer Simpson (Porter Gaud Defensive Coordinator.)
