with Reid Milkens

North boys lacrosse team.
When and why did
you start playing
lacrosse?
Before high school in
about fourth grade, I played
in two seasons of park district
recreation league and
then I stopped playing so
I could focus on basketball
but then I picked it up my
freshman year.
What do you like most
about the sport?
Throughout Glenbrook
North, definitely the
coaches. Justin Georgacakis
one of the best coaches
I’ve ever played for in any
sport and he has a great
culture in the program.
Do you have any
superstitions before a
match?
I always shower and
shave right before a game.
What is your favorite
sports moment?
It’s got to be against
Lake Forest this postseason,
taking the game into
overtime and then having
the game winner.
What is one thing
people don’t know
about you?
People don’t know that
I’m really into space.
What would you do if
you won the lottery?
I would first call up a
financial advisor and then
I would do some special
things for my parents, like
getting a house or car.
If you could be any
superhero, which
super power would
you want?
I would want to be Iron
Man. I think Tony Stark is
awesome. He has the brains,
he has the money and he’s
the best Avenger there is.
If you could play any
other sport, which
would it be?
I would play basketball. I
played basketball for most
of my life and then stopped
after my freshman year.
What is one thing on
your bucket list?
I want to go to Bora
Bora one day.
If you could be any
animal, which would
you be?
I would be a lion because
I think they’re beautiful
animals and they’re
also crazy fast and strong,
the kings of the jungle.
