During his lacrosse career, Graham Harden was assigned to defend against the opponent’s most skilled attackman, those trying to penetrate the zone and fire the ball on net. Harden, a New Canaan, Connecticut native, was incredibly gifted with physical tools, smarts, savvy, and unquestioned toughness.
I grew up with the Harden family in New Canaan, CT. Boyd and I have been friends since 3rd grade. We were teammates on HS State Championship winning football and lacrosse teams. Great friends with Shea, Graham, HH as well and Mr and Mrs H. Boyd and I lived and coached together after college at Brown U before Boyd went to Marine Corps officer candidate school. Played and coached lacrosse for 40 years at every level. Played in many post college tournaments with Boyd, Graham & HH (Vail, New Orleans, Hartford, Lake Placid).
Brooks played at UNC with Graham from 1987-1991. Brooks and Graham were two of the three captains who helped the ’91 team to an undefeated season, ending in the school’s 4th NCAA Lacrosse Championship. Brooks and Bryan Kelly are working with Coach Joe Breschi in mobilizing the Carolina Lacrosse Family.
