As Principal at Apple Valley High School, I've had the unique opportunity to see Alex perform in and out of the classroom. Not only is he an incredible athlete, bu he is willing to take risks and push himself to succeed. His dedication to lacrosse is evident in his hard work and determination on the field, and this same drive carries over to his academics and leadership. Alex is a valued member of my Principal's Advisory Team who earns the respect of teammates and classmates alike not only for his drive and personal accomplishments, but more importantly, for who he is as a person. Alex will certainly continue to grow as an athlete and as a student. Vocal when needed and someone you can always count on when presented with a challenge, Alex will undoubtedly excel because of his ability to raise the expectations bar for himself and those around him.

I have had the pleasure of working with Alex throughout his High School campaign thus far. The growth I have seen in a few short years has been tremendous. Alex is a high IQ player that has the athletic ability to take over a game. Alex can blow a shot past a goalie left or right handed with ease. His stand and wind capability is elite. Alex is a willing defender, he has the foot speed and build to shut down the oppositions best players. His wing play is tenacious. It is hard to find a player that excels in all aspects of the game from ground balls to goals, and he is a model player in all of these categories.
