Thank You: “I would like to thank my parents for helping me with everything I needed since I first started playing and giving me their constant support. With out them I couldn’t get to practice or even have a stick to use. I would also like to thank all of my coaches who have helped me over the years. They’ve not only helped me develop as a lacrosse player on the field but as a young man off the field with giving me life lessons and giving me guidance with everything I needed. I also need to give an exclusive shout out to my dog, Roux, who taught me what happens when I miss a ground ball in the back yard.”
