“I am very thankful and honored that Mr. Watson has welcomed me back to my alma mater, to
pursue my passion and lead the lacrosse program at Powers Catholic once again. As a former
student-athlete and coach at Powers Catholic, I understand the expectations and potential
legacy that comes with being a member of this elite school. I will work determinedly to educate
these young men that through hard work and faith, they can rise to become the best versions of
themselves and pursue their dreams.”
I look forward to returning to coaching and working to enhancing the Powers Catholic Lacrosse
