What are your thought on this
being your last season playing
lacrosse?
My thoughts on this being
my last season playing
lacrosse are very
upsetting and sad. I have
been playing organized
sports since I was about
six years old, and have
been playing lacrosse
since I was twelve years
old. Not being a member of
the Quinnipiac Bobcats
anymore is tough to think
about because of all the
good times I have had
throughout my four years.
The time has flown by
these past four years and
can’t believe it is almost
over. It is tough thinking
that this is my last year
ever playing a sport after
all the time and effort I
have put into sports.
Over the past four years as a
member of the Quinnipiac
Bobcats I have had a lot of
fun going on road trips and
being with the guys everyday
at practice.
My greatest memories over
these past four years have
been on our road trips.
Listening to the freshmen
speeches at dinner, singing
on the bus, and getting the
opportunity to go to
Colorado and see the air
force academy
When was the lasttime you
had a really goodlaugh?
Bill- The last time I had
a really good laugh I was
at the dinner table in
the hotel conference room
in Maryland listening to
the freshmen speeches
after dinner with the
team
DID YOU KNOW?
No word in the English language
rhymes with angel, bulb, purple
or scalp.
If you try to say the alphabet
without moving your lips or
tongue every letter will sound
the same.
