Other comments: “I would like to thank the coaches of Cumberland Valley and the Central PA Dawgs for all the years of good coaching. I also would like to thank my teammates (CV and Dawgs) for their support. I would like to thank my mother for being my biggest fan and supporting me in everything that I do. Last but not least, I would like to thank my dad for making me the lacrosse player and man that I am today. He constantly pushed me to my limits because he saw the potential in me and without him, I would be nowhere near where I am today.”
