Boys’ lacrosse standout Mason Brassard knows his current coach at LHS, Colin Davis, very well. Mason got his start in lacrosse back when he was 10-years-old when he attended Davis’ youth summer lacrosse camp.
Now in his senior season, Mason said being a part of the LHS lacrosse team is more than just about sports.
“The team is my favorite group of guys out here,” Mason said. “The Leominster lacrosse team is more of a family than any team I’ve ever played for. We all got each other’s backs and it really shows in our on-field chemistry.”
Davis said he has big expectations for Brassard from his attack position, pointing out a number of games a year ago when Brassard played a key role offensively.
“He returns off of a strong junior season with 21 goals and 11 assists in 14 games last year helping lead us to a 9-5 record and a trip to the CMADA semifinals,” Davis said. “He had a hat trick and an assist in a CMADA quaterfinal win against Tantasqua, and scored two with two assists in our loss to Shrewsbury in the MIAA tournament. He also scored the game winner with 8 seconds left in a 7-6 comeback win over Lunenburg. He dropped a career-high 6 goals with 2 assists in a 17-5 win over Marlboro.”
Mason said he has learned to refine his offensive game thanks in large part to coach Davis.
“I learned how to recognize good offensive opportunities and have gotten much better at my dodges and shooting,” Mason said.
At LHS, Mason recently started helping with the theatre company, and his favorite teacher at LHS was a teacher who no longer works in Leominster, but works and coaches lacrosse at Nashoba Regional.
“My favorite class was freshman year bio with rival lacrosse coach Mr. Biggs,” Mason said.
Outside of school, Mason likes to golf, play club soccer, disc golf, and snowboard.
Next year, Mason is planning on attending Wentworth and studying Biomedical Engineering.
