Windham High lacrosse players Logan Campbell and Will Woolston came on as freshman in 2019 with a real passion for the game. They took that passion and elevated it in order to become the leaders they are today and they each signed letters of intent at Windham High School on Tuesday, April 26 to play collegiate lacrosse.

Campbell will attend Southern New Hampshire University and major in construction management. He’d like to use his major for building or designing homes or possibly work in real estate.

Woolston will attend Clarkson University in New York and major in engineering and management. He isn’t sure yet what he’d like to do with his major.

“They want to uplift everybody – to me that’s crucial,” said Windham varsity boys’ lacrosse coach Peter Small. “They are not cliquey individuals with groups of friends. They are reaching out to their teammates ... they invite their teammates; they want their passion of the game to spread to other people.”

Both Campbell and Woolston have spread their passion for the game in the community by working with the younger players to help develop the same love and skill for lacrosse they both have.

Logan Campbell

Campbell’s father showed him how to play lacrosse when he was in the fourth grade. From that point on, he was hooked.

“I enjoy the fast-paced game, I enjoy playing defense,” said Campbell. “Club teams are really good; really fun to play with. I still communicate with guys from my club team. It’s really fun and I’ll cherish those memories we had over the summer.”

It felt good for Campbell to sign his letter of intent. The program at SNHU is a nice one; Campbell felt welcomed by the Coach Paul Calkins and is looking forward to it.

Campbell knew that if he wanted to play in college, he needed to work hard every day and continue to do so throughout his athletic career. He realized the pace of the game was much faster in college. In order to prepare for lacrosse at SNHU he’s been going to New England Fitness and Athletics in Windham every day after practice.

Campbell would like to thank his family for all their support, especially his mom, as well as his teammates and coaches.

Will Woolston

Woolston chose Clarkson University because they have a very strong academic program. Woolston said the lacrosse coach, Coach Bill Bergan, is an old-school coach, which he likes.

He feels relieved and said it felt good to sign his letter of intent. It’s taken a lot of hard work to get to this point.

“Academics is a big part of moving forward with your collegiate career,” said Woolston. “Some schools where you grind for lacrosse, you won’t be able to get in without academics. I’ve always worked hard with lacrosse, but this year I’ve really stepped up my academics.”

Woolston’s older brother, Tyler, got him interested in lacrosse. Tyler Woolston, a Windham alumnus, currently plays Division I lacrosse for the University of Vermont.

Will Woolston began playing in the second grade and just fell in love with the sport. Will Woolston said his brother always pushed him to be better and work harder.

Woolston would like to thank his dad and his mom for pushing him to be better. <
