Long-time UA Mens Head Lacrosse Coach Ted Wolford joined the Ohio Lacrosse Hall of Fame Friday June 8th in a ceremony at the Fawcett Center at Ohio State.

Wolford was joined in the class by former UA goalie Shawn Trell, class of 1985, who went on to become a three-time All-American at Hobart College and Toby Boucher, an All-American attackman at Ohio Wesleyan University.

Wolford has won 10 state titles in 16 years as the Golden Bears Head Coach and sent over 100 players to the collegiate level and he reflected on all who helped him achieve that success. "This is about everyone who has ever played here, every fan who has ever cheered for us, every captains parent and assistant coach who has worked for me."

Wolford was grateful that the recognition might reflect on his family who has been heavily involved in growing the game of lacrosse in central Ohio and beyond. "It's a huge honor but I thought I'm too young, I'm still coaching. The more I thought about it I realized this would be a recognition of my own family and their contribution to the UA lax family."

Wolford's three brothers; Dan, John and Bill all played for Upper Arlington. Bill was the head coach at UA before building a solid program at Worthington Kilbourne High School. Bill was also chosen the Man of the Year by the Ohio High School Lacrosse Association in 2007 for his contributions to the game. Ted's sisters Ann and Kate were statiticians for the team while Jane and Sue were among its biggest suppporters. Norm and Alice are Ted's parents and his Dad has been a driving force to promote media coverage of the game.
