TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD Park City senior Brady Baumann is ready to take his lacrosse game to the next level after signing his national letter of intent to play lacrosse for Division I Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York. His senior season was cut short, but Baumann was named to the all-state lacrosse team last season by the Deseret News. Brady Baumann is heading to Marist on a lacrosse scholarship RYAN KOSTECKA The Park Record It was late in the fourth quarter of Park City’s Class 4A football state semifinal game against Pine View and the Miners were leading 48-21. With the result all but assured, coach Josh Montzingo wanted to make sure that his players got through the rest of the game healthy. So when senior linebacker Chase Johnasen lay on the ground after being cheap-shotted by one of Pine View’s big tackles, it was Brady Baumann, the smallest player on the field for Park City, who stepped up to confront the big man after the play. Despite being 5-foot-7, 165-pounds, Baumann made sure that the Pine View player knew what he did was wrong and that it wasn’t going to happen anymore, or at least that’s the way Baumann tells it. “First off, nobody pushes us around, so I just went over there and gave the big guy the business. … I didn’t think about the size difference between us, but I made him step back that’s for sure,” Baumann said. “I don’t play dirty, it’s not who I am, but I’m also not going to let anybody push me or my teammates around. If that’s the game they want to PARK RECORD FILE PHOTO Park City senior linebacker Brady Baumann, right, celebrates following the Miners’ 48-21 victory over Pine View High School in the Class 4A state semifinals last November. Although an all-state football player, Baumann will be playing Division I lacrosse for Marist College next spring. play with being that physical, we can do that and I’ll still win.” Montzingo remembers it fondly, but differently. “That moment showed the nastiness and tenaciousness we had as a team, and it came from somebody who helped change our entire program,” Montzingo said of Baumann. “We weren’t the biggest team out there, but we were one of the most physical and Brady showed everyone how tough we were. He brings that moxie and chip on his shoulder that’s served him well in life.” According to him, Baumann owes that proverbial “chip on his shoulder” more than anything as it helped take him from somebody with no real future in Division I college athletics growing up to somebody who was highly coveted throughout the recruiting process. Come next spring, Baumann will be suiting up for Marist College on a lacrosse scholarship in Poughkeepsie, New York. “Marist saw me at a T99 lacrosse camp during the summer (2019), liked me a lot and invited me out for a recruiting trip,” Baumann said. “Even though I didn’t know much about them, I knew they were D-I and went to the NCAA tournament that year, which is a big deal. The campus is pretty small so you’re involved with the community once you step out of the dorm. … It’s a perfect fit and I’m excited to see what the future holds.” But that future that brought on college athletics seemed nearly impossible when he was growing up. Baumann grew up being accustomed to three things: Always being the smallest person on the field, facing doubts about his ability and proving people wrong about them. “For years, people have been underestimating him for his size, which I think is part of the genesis of his chip on the shoulder,” said Michael Persky, Park City high school lacrosse coach. “When people see him enter a game, they’re not impressed. … But then when they see him participate, they’re blown away.” That chip on his shoulder originated when he played youth football for Park Please see Lacrosse, B-3 Anne Cameron Mediation Attorney | Mediator | Collaborative Professional Offering Virtual Meetings and Mediations "Emerald Care has been extraordinarily helpful during a very difficult time in our family.
