Ja:goh Zed Williams, A, Whipsnakes LC. (Cattaraugus Territory, Bucktown area, Seneca, Wolf clan) for being named the Premiere Lacrosse League’s Top 50 – #7. Zed was drafted by the Whipsnakes as the 5th pick of the Premier League Lacrosse 2020 Entry Draft.

In his first season with Whipsnakes LC, Williams led the league in scoring and dropped five fourth-quarter goals to lead his team to a comeback in the PLL title game. Not bad for a guy in his first year with the PLL. On the podium after accepting his MVP trophy, Williams dedicated his effort to his late father, who died while Zed was playing at Virginia.

On Aug. 9, the drama major who preferred a behind-the-scenes role took center stage during the Premier Lacrosse League Championship Series’ final act. With the Whipsnakes trailing the Chaos 6-3 entering the fourth quarter, Williams delivered the most memorable performance of the two-week fully quarantined and fanless tournament. The righty attackman with a powerful shot and inside roll dodge, who led the league in goals, scored five of his PLL single-game record six goals in the final frame. He poured in four in less than two minutes. He scored so fast that Twitter almost couldn’t keep up. He started trending. The Whipsnakes won 12-6 and capped off an undefeated series with their second consecutive title.
