Who is he? O'Donnell is a senior forward. He has been a varsity starter since getting called up from junior varsity midway through his sophomore season.

He said it: "It was a bunch of teamwork. I was just there to put it away. [Winning district] was a huge thing for us. Our senior class has been carrying this team for four years. We're a tight-knit group."

Coach said it: "He is a player that over the last two years has come into his own and has become a force to be reckoned with. He plays up top as a lone forward, and he's been able to take on the bulk of the other team's backline." – Mike Wiersema
