Coach’s comment: Gene is tough hard nosed. He played through pain and is a three way player. Our defensive leader. Leads by example during off season practices, in the weightroom and in the film room.

Gene is one of the hardest working kids we have at WBA, and it shows each and every time he steps on field. Although he’s vocal when he has to be, his play, his determination and his overall desire to compete and be there for his team is what makes him not only a great player but a great teammate and captain. Can’t wait to see what kind of year he has!
