Lucas Pisecco

Co-Head Coach

My name is Lucas Pisecco and I am super excited to coach the Pershing Lacrosse team this season! My lacrosse story began eleven years ago when I was a 6th grader at Pershing Middle School, then playing for Lamar High School and Summer tournaments with the Houston Cougars club team. Today, I am in my senior year at University of Houston and still love to play lacrosse with my friends at the collegiate level. I have a lifetime of experience and a deep passion for lacrosse, and coaching Pershing Middle School is a very exciting full circle moment for myself.
