JACKSON - As Head Men's Lacrosse Coach Luke Beam closes the books on his second season at the helm of the Millsaps Majors Lacrosse Program, he looks to the future as he welcomes in five incoming freshman who will make up the Class of 2012. Here is part one of two of the incoming freshman class.
 
Simon Sherman

 Plano, Texas 
Plano West High
Attack/Midfield

Coach Beam's Take: "Simon is a competitive player that has a knack for finding the back of the net. He'll be competing for a spot on the attack or the midfield.  In his high school career has been named: offensive newcomer of the year, received north Texas All-State Honorable Mention (D1) and Unsung Hero Award."
 

Jack Houtz
Austin, Texas
McCallum High School
Attack/Midfield

Coach Beam's Take:  "Another hybrid offensive weapon comfortable playing at the face off X, or behind the cage at X. Jack brings really good speed and quickness. He's tough player who has been awarded team MVP as well as all district honors."

 
Scott Tafoya  
Duluth, Georgia
Peachtree Ridge HS
Long Stick Middle
 
Coach Beam's Take: "Scott brings speed to the LSM position at Millsaps. He will bring a much needed wing presence on face-offs and quickness to team defense."

Check back tomorrow morning for Part Two of the Recruiting Class.
