`Eric is only a 9th grader, but he certainly does not look or play like one when he is on the lacrosse field. This is no surprise, because he was the starting center midfielder for the varsity soccer team in the fall, and he played both JV and some varsity ice hockey in the winter. He has good size, speed, great endurance, and skills as a midfielder well beyond his age. Eric looks to be one of those rare players who will be an impact player as a freshman. He even faces off.
