Kenny Pailes - Goalie Coach

For the past three years, Kenny Pailes has served as the Defensive Coordinator and Goalie Coach of Westwood's Boy's Divisions 1 & 2 Varsity and Junior Varsity squads. After lettering in lacrosse at Westwood from 1991-1994, Coach Kenny Pailes took the lessons he learned as a goalie to an entirely different playing field: public safety. He spent over a decade as a fulltime firefighter, EMT-I, and hazardous materials specialist. During that time, Coach Pailes continued to play post-collegiate men's lacrosse as a member of travel and tournament teams. Coach Pailes believes that everyone that plays lacrosse as a Warrior should play to win in a positive manner. Winning is the goal, but players must have fun and grow as young men and women to get there.
