“I started playing lacrosse in 4th grade, and with a club team in 7th grade. When I was younger, I played baseball, but then I tried lacrosse and fell in love with the sport. I thought that lacrosse was more fun than baseball, because it was more fun and action packed. My sister also played lacrosse and I watched many of her games.”

Region – On a beautiful spring day in Northborough, students assembled on the athletic fields outside Algonquin Regional High School (ARHS) for track-and-field practice.
“Try and be more explosive when you throw it,” Nishant Joshi, a high school junior and team member, said as he coached fellow teammate Nathaniel Nahabedian, a freshman, on the shot put. “Keep your hand about right here. Good!”
“I’ve had both a special coach and teammate during my time at MHS. My first coach freshman year was Tom Leopre, and his coaching style was unique and unparalleled by any other. A compliment from him was always a rare commodity, but that only made kids want to work harder to earn one. When kids would come off the courts during a match, he would sternly ask, ‘Do you know what you’re doing wrong?’ in his signature voice tone, and if you didn’t know the answer to that question, you’d receive a detailed explanation. As for a particular teammate, my doubles partner Yuuki Sato has always had my back for the three years that we’ve played together. He would always know when I wasn’t playing to my full potential, and would let me know. We’ve always been within one spot of each other on the ladder, so hopefully that will keep me on my toes this year, and push me to my full potential.”
