Greenbrier is working on building its lacrosse brand. With a lot of their players not having as much as experience as some other schools in cities such as Atlanta, lacrosse coach Creswell Curtis is hoping to continue to build the program.

As important as his job is to be successful, it's equally important to help develop his players for the next level. On Thursday afternoon, he was able to see some progress in his team and the future.

Tareyon Delgaldo and Ethan Perez signed their national letters of intent to continue their lacrosse careers in college. Delgado will play at LaGrange College and Perez at Emmanuel College.

"They both have found themselves in the particular situations that are the best fit for them," Curtis said after his players officially signed. "In this day and age, I know there is a big push just to sign somewhere. And I hope that other folks that might read or be aware of this situation can learn from it to see that the best fit is key."

Delgado and Perez set the example for the rest of their teammates in multiple ways with their signing. Not only did they show that if the work is put in, the progress will reflect it, but also that you don't have to have the most experience to play at the next level.

Delgado and Perez have been playing lacrosse since they were in sixth grade, giving them some of the most experience on the team. But in comparison, most kids start lacrosse even younger. They didn't let that experience gap hinder them, and they proved they can succeed and carry that to the next level.

That's something Curtis will miss when Delgado and Perez turn their tassels in a few weeks. Their hard work, dedication, leadership, deliberate effort and keeping a proper perspective are the words Curtis used to describe their careers at Greenbrier. He hopes to be able to have similar speeches in the years to come.

"We're excited for both these young men, they've put in a lot of hard work and have been big factors in our recent successes and it's just nice to have this culminating achievement as we wish them well moving forward," Curtis said.
