Senior Salute: “What I will miss most is the camaraderie between me, all my teammates and coaches. I will miss the family atmosphere within my team and my school. I will also miss all the teachers and students that have made these last four years a blast, and I’ve never felt more at home anywhere else. Also hitting bombs off Coach Julius in practice.”

Looking ahead: “My plans after high school are to continue my education and baseball career at the University of Florida.”

Senior Salute is an ongoing series from the LCR to honor the seniors who lost their spring seasons due to covid-19. If your coach hasn’t reached out to you, you can also reach out to us.
