Why did you choose the school? “It has incredible academics, and a great coach. I’ll be an impact player early on (I believe and hope).”

Outlook for 2016 HS season: “Most of our starters were seniors and have graduated. We are going to need some younger players to step up and make an impact. We contest with Mountain Lakes for the Group 1 final and they are kind of in the same situation. It should be very interesting and I am hopeful.”

I also want to thank my club coach, Rob Novack, and my the club director, Lee Southren. I want to thank my teammates for making me better every day. Finally, I want to thank my parents who have both spent so much time and a good deal of money to help me get to the place I am now. My dad taught me how to play lacrosse and he went through everything with me.”
