Foothill High School Lacrosse

Coach Brooks has coached the Foothill High/Hewes Middle school programs almost since their start by Coach Fox. Coach Brooks, born and raised in Ranallstown, Maryland (near Baltimore) and always a goalie, started playing Lacrosse at 8 years of age and continued through middle school, high school, college, semi-pro (The Maryland Arrows ) and mens club ball on the East Coast and in Orange County in the late 70’s until the early 90’s. He attended Bethany College from 1974-1978 and was Team Captain his Sophomore, Jr. and Sr. year. Scott was a Division 3 All-American his Sr. year and All-Midwest Goalie his Sophomore, Jr. and Sr. years. He was voted MVP of for his college team his Jr. and Sr. years. He came to Orange County in 1979 where he attended law school. While in California in 1979 he began playing goalie for the Orange County Men's Lacrosse Club Coached by Bob Davis (a pioneer of Lacrosse in the Orange County/LA) and he also played along side Coach Ray Ralph.

He now makes his home in North Tustin with his wife Pat, daughter Joanna- a senior and varsity cheerleader at Foothill High School and his son Ryan- a Foothill/Hewes lacrosse alumni and a junior at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. During 1979-1987, while goalie, the Orange County Men's Club Lacrosse team won 5 California State Men's Club titles and two Western States Championships in '80 and '81 beating the overly favored Canadian National Team at Stanford University in 1980 for the championship. Scott was a head coach for the Orange Chiefs Football Team from 1996-1999 and has also coached Foothill High School's Freshman Football team. Coach Brooks continues to coach lacrosse at Hewes and Foothill to this day and hopes never to stop coaching for the “Program.” His philosophy is simple; “ground balls, shots and talk win ball games along with a good dose of heart and hustle.” He also helped coach our Foothill Knight's Varsity Boys team last year when they took the CIF-SS Lacrosse Championship Title.
We are glad to be able to welcome Coach Brooks back to Foothill and know it will be an outstanding season with the help of his defense expertise.
