Entering his third season with the KUA boys’ lacrosse program- and no stranger to New England lacrosse- Jim “Grim” Wilson continues to help guide the KUA’s boys’ varsity lacrosse program for the 2011 season.  Grim moved to the Upper Valley after an illustrious 49 year career as a coach, dorm parent, and teacher at the Loomis Chaffee School. Considered a legend in the high school lacrosse ranks, Grim, in 2007, was inducted into the New England Lacrosse Hall of Fame.  He is most known for his unwavering commitment to foster leadership, dedication, effort, and teamwork in his players and teams.
