From the Sidelines: Michael is a senior and a three year varsity starter on defense and with this comes plenty of experience as he is also one of our captains. Michael is an exemplary scholar-athlete; a leader whose actions speak a thousand words and a definition of someone who leads by example both on and off the field. When his team needs a lift, it’s Michael’s no nonsense style of defending, stoic demeanor, and positive attitude that inspire his teammates to give their all to win. These characteristics were on full display in two hard fought games, and Michael did it all with a smile on his face.
