Ben might be best lacrosse-loving star for the Mavericks
Kevin Cooper is in his sixth season as La Costa Canyon High’s boys lacrosse coach and every year has scribbled a Beacham brother’s name into the starting lineup.
But those who know a bit about cradling a ball in the webbing at the end of a stick insist the best of the Beachams is Ben, a 6-foot-2, 185-pound junior midfielder.While saying all three Beachams were “great,” Torrey Pines coach Jono Zissi, who has coached Ben at the club level, says, “I do think Ben is the most talented and has the most upside. He’s by far the most highly touted of the brothers.”Said Cooper: “All three were incredible players, but Ben’s got the most potential, for sure.
The brothers were blessed to grow up in a Carlsbad home that sits on more than an acre. Like a kid who loves basketball and shoots for hours in the driveway, the Beachams didn’t have to hop on bikes and pedal to a park to hone skills. They just opened the back door and starting flinging passes and firing shots on goal.Asked how many balls the family accumulated, Ben said, “Going back to elementary school to now? I’d say thousands.
But what separates Ben from others, said Zissi, is something that can’t be taught: a passion for the game and Mensa lacrosse IQ. Between high school and club, he plays about 85 matches a year. During the college season he watches 8-10 hours of college lacrosse on weekends, not just for pleasure but to study the game and learn new skills.
Ben has committed to play at Penn, the sixth-ranked team in the nation, and plans to study at the Wharton School, one of the world’s most renowned business schools.
