What will you major in/study? Education (History)
Why did you choose school? “I liked the small school feel and campus. I did my overnight and got to meet the whole coaching staff and team and it wasn’t long after that I decided that’s where I wanted to go.”
What is your HS team’s outlook for next year? “The Suburban One American Conference is always competitive with Plymouth Whitemarsh, Wissahickon and Upper Dublin and I think we can come out on top. We graduated a number of players but a bunch of new guys are ready to step up.”
Other comments: “I want to thank my parents and friends for helping me and supporting me; my high school coaches and high school teammates and my club coaches.”
