Zach Randolph, the 6’0, 185 pound senior from Las Vegas, Nev. is a senior lacrosse player who is geared up for his final go round as a North Greenville Crusader. Randolph remembers getting into lacrosse as early as the fifth grade while also focusing on football.
After being a part of high school athletics, he decided that playing for a travel team was the route he needed to take to get to the next level. “The process to get recruited for lacrosse suited me as I traveled to play in tournaments with all-star teams,” said Randolph.
For Randolph, his love for the game and his teammates runs deeps. “I play for my teammates,” Randolph says. The bonds he has built through the years with his teammates can only be described as “friends to family.” Randolph talks about how important his teammates’ relationships have been while being away from family. “Relationships between players give each other the backbone they need,” stated Randolph.
Randolph’s individual goals are more geared toward his academic side, as he is “student first.” Randolph’s big goal is to graduate this year with a degree in biology and start a firefighter internship. He is very excited about getting out in the real world. His ultimate goal for the team is to crack the top 20 rankings.
Randolph is preparing for his lacrosse career to come to an end because he has battled multiple injuries. Randolph talks on just being appreciative for the relationships he has built, and he will miss his teammates more than anything.
