When Sam Hargrove is finally done playing the drums for his jazz band, raising money for a class event, taking homework calls as a volunteer for NBC TV, giving gifts to needy kids, refereeing a youth lacrosse game and working as a teaching assistant at his local church school, he actually does have time to relax.
“Prioritizing is probably the key thing,” said the Strath Haven senior attacker. “I still have time to relax and if I don’t have something to do, I rest my bones; especially for lacrosse since I am always getting whacked around.”
Hargrove, the Laxzilla/Phillylacrosse.com Male Student-Athlete of the Week, has a ledger of academics and service excellence that reads like a grocery list for a family of nine. Hargrove, who has a 3.9 GPA, is a member of the National Honor Society who this Thursday will be honored by the Delaware County Chapter of the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame for his accomplishments as a scholar-athlete.
