2017, North High School, Speer Boulevard, Denver, CO, USA
Papa Lax was our assistant coach with his awesome daughter Kelsey for our 2017 season at North High School. He was helpful for every single girl on the team in terms of coaching us on and off the field! This is what some of us say about Papa Lax. Ella Kozlowski - “When we were all dancing and singing, being as obnoxious as ever he would simply just join along with his goofy dance moves” Angela Alvarado - “He was so caring. He just loved us all just as much as Bing did and it was great . I’ll never forget him.” Valeria Castaneda - “Papa Lax was so kind and patient. I remember my first mile I ran. I was feeling very insecure being the slowest one but every lap I did he would clap and cheer me on like I was winning a race. And after it he would smile and me and say ‘good job Vale’ 💜” Espy Reyes - “We was an amazing person, never gave up on us, believed that we were worth something. He never stopped believing.” Avery Ahern - “He was one of the first lacrosse coaches that had a really impact on me (:” Maria DeLuna - “He was the sweetest. Always had our backs. Rest easy papa lax” Jaisy Iniquez - “I remember Papa Lax as my mentor for lacrosse. He was a bright soul. May he shine brighter than ever. I appreciated your investment in the lives of the lax girls and myself. I was so lucky to have a coach who inspired me everyday to be better than the day before. I consider myself fortunate to be able to have learned from you and your experiences. I love you Papa Lax, thank you for everything. May you Rest In Peace ❤️”
