Boys lacrosse athlete of the week (4-5-10)

Reiley Higgins

Santa Margarita

Higgins, a junior attack man, has had a number of big games for the No.3-ranked Eagles. Last week, he scored seven goals in a 16-6 Trinity League victory over Mater Dei.

“Higgins is a hardcore competitor who does not like to lose,” Santa Margarita Coach Chris Driggs said. “Being a two-sport athlete has made him a better lacrosse player because he uses his vision, speed and offensive minded play to outplay his opponent.

“He is a key player for us. If he can continue to get better as the season goes on, he will no doubt be an all county selection. His seven goals against Mater Dei proves how dangerous he can be.”
