Williams to play at
Western Oregon

Jonathan Williams, who scored a league leading 70 goals for McNary during his senior season,
will play lacrosse at Western Oregon University.

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.
