Wed Mar 17 2021 | Matt Hamilton | College Roy Simmons Jr. needs no introduction — his name is as synonymous with the sport of lacrosse as any in its history. Simmons and his father, Roy Simmons Sr., led the Syracuse men’s lacrosse program for 68 consecutive years. Combined, the Simmons family won more than 540 college lacrosse games, building a dynasty in upstate New York. Simmons, now 85, has watched the sport grow for more than seven decades — from when he shadowed his father at Syracuse to now being one of the Orange’s biggest fans at the Carrier Dome. Not surprisingly, the college lacrosse legend has a knack for storytelling. When you talk to Simmons, you get a crash course in the sport’s history, both good and bad. When Simmons speaks, you listen.
