Chase Williams (Rivers rep. junior LSM) was the best defensive player on the field in my eyes. He busts his butt on the wings during faceoffs, plays great D and is the best communicator that we had on defense. There were a couple times where I couldnt help but walk over and let him know that I was impressed with something that he did. At one point he was the 1 slide from the crease and not only turned around and asked who his 2 was, but when he realized that they were extended too far from the crease he hazed a slide and turned back and made sure someone was there to cover the crease. As a goaltender, I believe that a defense should be able to talk itself out of many of the shots that it sees and it is communication like this that makes it happen.

I gave a lot of thought to my options at the end of the summer and I decided to make the switch to private school and repeat 11^th grade. I am now at The Rivers School as a junior (class of 2012). I made this decision because I want to stretch myself academically and develop my lacrosse another year with Head Coach Justin Walker (Rivers School and Fighting Clams). I believe this will help me meet my goals of going to a great college and playing for a top lacrosse program.
