WWAY Student Athlete of the Week: Lucas Shields

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WWAY) – The WWAY Student Athlete of the Week is Lucas Shields from Laney High School.

The junior is the starting goalkeeper for the boys lacrosse team, who are currently riding a 12-game winning streak and remain undefeated in Mideastern Conference play.

While he almost never tries to score himself, he always make sure to play his part on defense while making sure to put his teammates first.

“I try to put my mind into the game. It’s always who’s going to be the better guy in the next situation. I just try to put myself forward on that one. Try to think ahead a little bit. Just see the ball, save the ball. That’s pretty much it. I want to make this year as special as we can for these seniors. They’ve worked hard for this. I mean this is it.”
