Their influence on Cohen led to a sensational high school career full of accolades and accomplishments, acquiring two U.S. Lacrosse All-American awards and obtaining the Long Island scoring record of 260 goals. His fantastic lacrosse resumé earned him a national top -four ranking coming into the school year...
