Host Fred Opie interviews Cornell University All-American and Metro Lacrosse CEO Aaron Jones. In his senior year at Hempstead High School, the University of North Carolina and the University of Maryland offered Aaron Jones a scholarship to play defensive back but his mother, an English teacher at the time, at Hempstead High School, insisted on Ivy League academic excellence over ACC football. Hempstead grads continued to attend some of the finest schools in the country including West Point. Metro Lacrosse is a youth lacrosse program based in Boston that uses lacrosse to teach life skills to young folk.
