For Leominster senior lacrosse captain Peter Spylios, being a part of the team here at LHS is quite special.
“It’s more than just a lacrosse team, it feels like a family,” Peter said. “Everyone wants to help you and see you improve. The whole coaching staff is incredible.
It was his current head coach, Colin Davis, who helped get Peter into lacrosse.
“Coach Davis ran youth camps for a week during the summer,” Peter said. “And my mom would have me go every year with all my friends. It was a blast.”
Peter said he has learned a lot from coach Davis both on and off the field.
“I have learned from coach Davis that in sports and life, you will be challenged with adversity,” Peter said. “It is up to you how you decide to react. You can give up and call it quits, or you can persevere and succeed.”
Davis had high praise for Peter.
“He’s been a three-year starter for us and is the leader of our defense,” David said. “He’s just an all around good guy.”
As for the sport itself, Peter said he enjoys the team-nature of lacrosse.
“I like how it’s fast paced and a complete team sport,” Peter said. “It’s very tough to be a one-man show in lacrosse.”
Peter is heading to Worcester State in the fall to study computer science and will play club lacrosse.
Here at LHS, Peter is a member of the National Honor Society and was a member of the Prom Committee. His favorite class was physics with Mr. Noviello.
Away from school, Peter enjoys golfing, fishing and playing video games.
