More about the Manhasset Day of Champions from the Nassau County Lacrosse Coaches Association: "A staple of Nassau County lacrosse in the 80's was the annual Manhasset Day of Champions. Long before there was so much lacrosse on TV and social media, huge crowds would attend the event to see top level college games and the Manhasset boys play great competition."Manhasset Day of Champions (original run) was started in 1978 apparently, so if it was yearly the 9th would have been in 1987. It sounds like a yearly event - and also if it was every two years, the 9th would have taken place later than 1992. The 1987 Day of Champions took place on Saturday the 21st of March 1987, and featured a match between Virginia and Hobart College (now Hobart and William Smith Colleges). So that's the earliest that UID could have died I guess (unless for some reason he got a hoodie before the actual event. So the Day of Champions took place at the high school, but wasn't actually a high school championship or anything like that back then I think. Or at the least, it did also include this game as part of it.
I'm slightly leaning toward this young man having been a serious lacrosse player at some point though - he has healed injuries to ribs and signs of stress to the shoulders, both of which make me think lacrosse.
His Namus doesn't list any ruleouts but it says he now has DNA available.
