Brian Wood, a former St. Mary's High and Johns Hopkins standout who will be inducted into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame in November, has been named coach of the Severn boys lacrosse team.
"While his lacrosse success is that of legendary status, he is more importantly a great person who models the qualities we strive to teach our students," Doug Lagarde, Severn's new headmaster, said of Wood.
Wood, 41, succeeds Andy Hilgartner, who resigned after one season to return to McDonogh.
Wood, who has coached youth lacrosse and has two sons at Severn, led Johns Hopkins to NCAA championships in 1984, 1985 and 1987 and was a four-time All-America attackman.
