The Issue

     For nearly a decade, Tony Legge has been a cornerstone of Hillgrove lacrosse. He has lead the Men's Varsity team to a region championship, he has coached for every age group, he has provided assistance to his players as individuals outside of group training, and has been the greatest factor in bringing Hillgrove lacrosse the success it has had so far. Tony Legge is responsible for all of Hillgrove lacrosse's greatest achievements in recent years and without him we would not have been able to attain the level of skill, or the level of teamwork our team is capable of displaying.

     Legge has proven to be the driving force for improvement in many Hillgrove athletes and has been with many of the players on his team since they began learning the sport at a young age. He treats each of his players like family and gives them all the respect and motivation they need to be successful. Most of our graduated players who went on to compete at a higher level owe their position to Tony as he is the one who seeks out scholarship opportunities and exposure for his hardest working athletes. He preaches dedication to the game, as well as respect for both teammates and opponents. Coach Legge expects his players to not only be strong athletes, but good people as well.

     Tony Legge was removed from his position at Hillgrove as Men's Varsity Lacrosse Coach after taking 4 players from his Summer club team to a Cobb County facility for additional skills training. This particular field had been visited by several athletic groups of various sizes for a few weeks prior to Legge's usage. Tony Legge's termination is a disproportionate consequence relative to the gravity of his transgression and would have catastrophic effects on both the performance of Hillgrove Lacrosse, as well as the well-being of the players.
