Blake Lattimore, who took over as the assistant coach for the Montreat men’s lacrosse program at the beginning of the 2022-23 school year, was also named the interim head women’s lacrosse coach for the Cavaliers ahead of the 2023 season.
Lattimore has aided with the men’s lacrosse team since 2021. Though the Cavs did not play contests in 2022, Lattimore acted as a student assistant. Additionally, the South Carolina native went back to his hometown and worked as the JV and varsity boys’ lacrosse coach at Boiling Springs High School. There, Lattimore led the varsity team to the playoffs for the first time since 2017 and helped Boiling Springs pick up its initial playoff win in program history.
Prior to his coaching career, Lattimore played lacrosse at Emmanuel College and Montreat. From 2017 to 2019, he was goalie for the Lions before spending his final seasons of competition in net with the Cavaliers. Lattimore graduated from Montreat in 2021 with a degree in exercise science and is currently working toward his master’s degree.
Lattimore resides in Montreat.
