Was turned to lacrosse by my middle school football coach, and quickly learned to love the game, for its fast pace, aggressive defense and ability of a defense to take over a game. Was picked up by Coach Tom Susko (516-639-0177) and have been playing for the Checkmate Lax Club since middle school and he turned me into the player i am, preaching agressive defense. since freshman year i've been a starter on the varsity lacrosse team and in my junior year i had 120 groundballs and 30 forced turnovers.
