As a third-grader at Maheim Township in Lancaster, Pa., Caton Johnson attended a lacrosse clinic to find out what the sport was all about. He thought of himself as a football player but the introduction to lacrosse intrigued him.
Johnson quickly developed a passion for lacrosse and it eventually led him to North Carolina where the freshman goalie has already had a profound impact on the Tar Heels, setting a school record in his first game as a starter.
About a year after he started playing the sport his team lacked a goalie, so his coach moved players in and out of the position.
