The Regis High School Goalie position has been filled for the past few years! Show stopper and recent Virginia commit Rhody Heller gets his first time between the pipes this year, which will come after he already committed to one of the top Lacrosse schools in the NCAA. Not a traditional path for anyone, but the Regis goalie has all the skills to play at the next level, and if you think it may be a little off to take a goalie who has never started for his high school, the last goalie to follow that path was Tillman Johnson, who became the 2003 USILA Player of the year and NCAA tournament MVP. Rhody has informed us that he will be heading to Charlottesville Virginia to play for the University of Virginia Cavaliers.

Virginia is in need of a Goalie for the 2011 class, and he will compete for playing time with current sophomore Rob Fortunato. Heller may find a great chance to learn from the up and coming UVA goalie for a year before taking his spot between the pipes.

More to come on Heller and fellow Colorado lacrosse standout Tanner Ottenbreit on the opportunity to represent Colorado as a duo at UVA. And what it would mean to have a Colorado tandem leading a defense someday for UVA.
