Lake Highland Prep head coach Chris Spaulding has resigned for family reasons, will relocate to upstate NY.
Excerpt:
Lake Highland Prep is losing the only boys lacrosse coach who has four FHSAA state championships on his resume.
Chris Spaulding, who compiled a 176-46 record over 10 years at Lake Highland, is moving his family back to upstate New York and taking a job with an insurance firm in Elmira, which is next door to his hometown of Horseheads.
“Our third child is on the way,” Spaulding said on Saturday. “This is a good opportunity to go back to the area where we’re from and be close to my parents and to my wife’s parents.”
Jeff Vander Meulen, a former Colgate University standout who was the top assistant for Lake Highland’s past 11 seasons of lacrosse, has been named new head coach.
