By DEREK WILEY Of the Keizertimes Picturing himself on the Western Oregon University lacrosse team was easy for Jonathan Williams. “I’ve already played for their coach (Dan Hochspeier) and before our season started I went to Western Oregon and did a few prac- tices with the current team and I felt like I fi t in pretty well with those guys,” said Williams, a 2018 McNary graduate. “It felt like I was al- ready basically there playing with them. Every- thing just felt really normal. It didn’t feel like I was out of place or anything. It just felt like I was supposed to be there.” Western Oregon’s coach is the brother of McNary head coach Mike Hochspeier and Dan coached Williams last summer. Williams also looked at playing lacrosse at Oregon State but said he felt better at a smaller school. An assistant coach at Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah reached out as well but busy with football Williams wasn’t able to at- tend one of the team’s recruitment camps. “I would have had to basically fl y out after the (football) game and give whatever energy I had left to a recruitment camp and fl y back on Sunday and go to school on Monday and practice,” Williams said. “It just didn’t work out and that was the end of that.” George Fox and Puget Sound were inter- ested in Williams playing football but neither university has a lacrosse program. “Of course I still have to go to classes and everything but in the end that’s really what I want out of college is to be able to play college lacrosse,” Williams said. Williams was fi rst introduced to lacrosse in middle school while watching his older brother play for McNary. He then made the varsity team as a fresh- man. “We had some really good players so it was more of just me trying to get them the ball instead of me being the main scorer,” Williams said.
