What will you major in/study? Leaning toward engineering or Pre-Med
Why did you choose school? “I visited a lot of schools, but I liked the feel of the campus and when I met coach (Bob) Shillinglaw I saw they have a welcoming family environment. It has a lot of aspects similar to my high school team’s. It’s kind of one big family, just like our team here. Also, the lacrosse program is top-notch and it has great academics. I felt it was a great combination.”
What is your HS team’s outlook for next year? “I think we’ve got a stronger team base than last year and a lot more goals. We’re also more driven. Probably we’ll be able to go a lot further than last year and hopefully we can go for a state championship.”
Other comments: “I would like to thank coach Ebe Helm and coach (Jason) Christmas from the Dukes. I have learned so much from the whole staff; they taught me a lot; there is not a better club team. I also want to thank my high school coach Bo Perriello and Salem coach Coach (Bill) Cameron.”
