He took to Twitter after the game to thank his teammates and family on his journey so far. A true team player.

It’s about the journey. We win, we lose, we learn, and we persevere. Thankful for my teammates, coaches, strength & conditioning coaches, physical therapists, friends, and most importantly — my family. It takes a village. Onward. pic.twitter.com/FcizvNFABR

In my area, Manheim Township, from Lancaster, defeated my alma mater, La Salle, to win the first ever PIAA Boys’ Lacrosse State Championship from outside of the Greater Philadelphia area. A huge moment for lacrosse in the state:
