John Driscoll Award
Midfielder of the Year

John DriscollThe John Driscoll Award is given annually to the most outstanding midfielder in Nassau County as voted by the NCLCA.

The award was originally named after Jim Brown, the NFL Hall of Fame running back for the Cleveland Browns, who is also considered by many to be one of the finest lacrosse players in the history of the sport. Brown, who played lacrosse for Manhasset High School and Syracuse University, was elected to the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1983.

The award was renamed in 2004 in memory of the late John Driscoll, who, like Brown, was an outstanding midfielder from Manhasset High School.

Driscoll won two Nassau County championships in 1975 and 1976, earning the Most Valuable Player Award in the championship game both years. He was the only player in the pre-classification era (1961-1985) to win MVP honors twice. Driscoll was an All-American at Manhasset in 1976, and was a two-time All-American at the University of Virginia in 1979 and 1980. He was a club all-star for many years, played professionally for the New York Saints, and was a member of US World Teams.

He was inducted into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1998
