That famous line from the Grateful Dead song Truckin’ applies to the Navy men’s lacrosse senior class, which has persevered through a coaching change and the coronavirus to cross the finish line.
Coach Joe Amplo and athletic director Chet Gladchuk will honor the 15 seniors prior to Saturday’s showdown against archrival Army at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Vice Admiral Sean Buck, the Naval Academy superintendent, will also participate in the pregame ceremony.
These Class of 2021 Navy men’s lacrosse players were recruited by the previous staff led by former head coach Rick Sowell. Ten of the 15 attended the Naval Academy Prep School for an academic year before arriving in Annapolis.
