“Kyle is the real deal. He was effective all over the field. He made and continued to make runs—even when he knew he was not getting the ball—to create space for other players. He’s a true pain to mark because he would consistently drag defenders out of position.”
Kevin Tuite
Head Coach

Athletic Excellence


The 5-foot-8, 145-pound senior forward scored 37 goals and passed for 21 assists this past season, leading the Shamrocks (20-2-3) to the Division I state semifinals.
