Josh Knight learned a lot about Jack Noury the first time the Campbell High School boys lacrosse coach saw him with a stick in his hands.

Noury was a sophomore, and Knight, who is also Campbell's athletic director, had yet to coach a game for the Cougars. But watching Noury in an off-season setting, Knight had two thoughts.

"I wish my stick skills were that good when I was a sophomore," the coach said with a laugh. "The kids that love the game and want to play the game, it doesn't matter what it is, they want a stick in their hands. When you see a kid with that ability, you don't question his commitment."

That undertaking, to continue to improve, has ramped up for Noury as he gets ready for his senior season this spring with the Cougars. A year ago, he and his teammates felt like they were one of the top teams in Division III, but with the playoff structure changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Campbell lost in its first playoff game against eventual-champion Trinity.

"That was pretty tough way to end the season, for sure," Noury said. "We all had a strong idea of what we could do. We’d been playing together since we were little. I think we met our expectations of what we could do. That year was tough to not be able to develop more as a team for our younger kids, and for us, but we played pretty well for not having a season (in 2020)."

The early playoff exit has continued to drive the upperclassmen as they get ready for the 2022 season, including participating in the NH Tomahawks indoor league.

"We’ve been together, going to the gym, anything possible just to get back to lacrosse," Noury said. "The kids who maybe didn’t get as much time or were fighting for a spot, they’ve been one hundred percent committed. We’re doing it year-round on our own instead of just a couple of us."

That commitment from so many players has Knight, who played lacrosse at Syracuse University and was involved in athletics in New York City before coming to New Hampshire, feeling good about where the Cougars will be when the preseason begins.

"You can’t go into March and say ‘oh there’s my stick,’" Knight said. "As a coach, you can teach all aspects of the game, but you can’t teach how to catch and throw. It’s a game of repetition. It’s not a natural thing. The more they do it, the better they can be. It’s nice having Jack out there, showing the kids."

Noury has been playing lacrosse for a long time, but he also credits the other sports he plays - soccer and basketball - for helping to keep him prepared for each season.

"Kids that are able to play two or three sports, for them to be a part of the team is huge," he said. "It helps with other sports. (Lacrosse) is my top sport and I like to play year-round, but I like my other sports."

Soccer was the one that Noury picked up first, but lacrosse wasn't far behind, and thanks to the encouragement of his friend and teammate, Brendan Boschi, and his youth coach, Brendan's father, Mike, it became the one he focused on the most.

"(Brendan) loves lacrosse and brought me into it, and we’ve had a lot of development together," Noury said.

As the senior class, and the program as a whole, has continued to grow, it's allowed players to take on more of a specialized role. That meant, last season, Noury was able to focus on playing as more of an offensive midfielder instead of a two-way game.

"As the program got a little bigger, we were able to set offensive and defensive middies," Noury said. "Growing up, we never had that. Focusing on one aspect of the game helps."

That growth on the offensive side of the field has Knight thinking big things for the senior, potentially even earning accolades like D3 Offensive Player of the Year or All-American.

"It's a top honor … I don’t why he can’t be a potential All-American," Knight said. "But the nice thing with these seniors, I don’t think they care about accolades. They have think they have a chance to win a championship this year. It’s there for all the kids."

Noury plans to continue playing at the next level, having committed to Salve Regina University in Newport, R.I.

"I had a work buddy who went there, so I was like why not," he said. "Their coaches were friendly, the location is great. I thought it’d be a good fit for me. I was able to take an official tour of the school, so I could get to know them and see some facilities. I just kind of love it. It was awesome."
