Personal Statement

     My name is David DiPiazza and I am currently a Junior at Mandeville High School in Mandeville, Louisana . After my first high school season playing at Attackman/Midfielder last spring, playing not for Mandeville High but for Northshore Lacrosse Club, I feel that I have shown tremendous improvement. I was named 1st Team All-Conference after my first season and played for U19/17 Team Quick Stick during the summer http://www.teamquickstick.com/. While playing against some of the top summer ball programs in the Southeast with Team Quick Stick I got a good feel for what competitive lacrosse is all about and this experience will payoff substantially going into my junior year season.

     Attending a school where I can excel both on the field and in the classroom is what I am looking for. Throughout my high school career I have managed to maintain a 3.2 GPA and have challenged myself by taking all Gifted and Honors courses. I took the ACT this March and scored a 26.  

      Athletically I aspire to be the best athlete that I can be and I'm big into growing the game so passing on what I hope to accomplish by playing in college and spreading the game more throughout Louisiana is one of my big goals as a player. Any of my coaches would tell you that I am a hard worker, dedicated to the game of lacrosse, and that I play with a high motor and with alot of energy and passion on the field. 

Thank you for your time and consideration
