With the death on May 22, 2010 of Charlie Guy, Jr, a Tampa, Florida resident since 1955, a national assemblage of his family, friends, former teammates and players, ex-business associates, and community leaders are joining together to seek his induction into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame.
US Naval Academy
Annapolis, MD Class of 1946 (1942-1945)
His Accomplishments:
In addition to playing lacrosse, Charlie, during his three years* at the Naval Academy, was a standout football player as an offensive end and also competed on the wrestling team. It was lacrosse, however, for which Charlie would demonstrate his deepest passion and an exceptional ability.
1942-1943: 1st string defense on Navy’s National Championship Team
1943-1944: 2nd Team All American as a defender
1944-1945:
- 1st Team All American as a defender & Captain of Navy’s National Championship Team
- 1st Navy lacrosse player ever awarded the William C. Schmeisser Award as the nation's most outstanding defenseman.
- Awarded Navy's Stuart Oxnard Miller Memorial Lacrosse Cup as the team's Most Valuable Player
1945-1946:
The nation’s best lacrosse defender began defending our country instead of Navy’s lacrosse opponents!
*During the World War II era, many midshipmen helping to fulfill the urgent war executive manpower needs were commissioned after only three years at the Academy, as was the case with Charlie. Most lacrosse historians feel that had he returned for the 1946 season, he would have again repeated as an All American, thus making him one of the few lacrosse players of his generation to receive such honors for 3 out of his 4 years of competition. Nevertheless, his personal athletic performance and the Navy record for these three years is truly remarkable!
In addition to his many Varsity Letters earned in his three sports of lacrosse, football, and wrestling, Charlie has the distinction of earning NOT one, BUT TWO Black N's.
