On Thursday, Feb. 25, 2021, Central Bucks South senior Christian Manibo was recognized for committing to play collegiate soccer.
Christian Manibo – Stockton University (Lacrosse)
Major: Business Management
Final list of colleges: Stockton, Cabrini, Sacred Heart
Reasons for choosing Stockton: “When I arrived at the campus and took a tour with the coach, I felt like I belonged there. I could see myself going there, attending classes every day and practicing with the team. I met a few of the teammates as well, which was a difference between the other schools. They wanted me to be there.”
What was the progression that led you to playing lacrosse at the collegiate level? “In the beginning of my lacrosse career, I couldn’t see myself pursuing it in college. I didn’t really think I had the skill level, but as I progressed with my coaches’ help, they helped me realize that I had serious potential to play lacrosse in college.”
Coach Chris Jacobsen says: “Christian is a phenomenal kid. He is unbelievably dedicated not only to developing his own skills but also to the team. He’s 100 percent a team-first player. He’s willing to do anything to help the team succeed. He’s willing to play different positions, he’s willing to put himself on the line not only for himself and his own growth but to help the team succeed, and that’s really where his drive lies. He’s constantly asking what he can do to improve upon his skills and get better, all with the focus of team success. I’ve known Christian for a long time, I’ve coached him for many, many years, and he’s 100 percent one of those kids you want to see succeed because he has a great attitude. He clearly is having fun the whole time he’s out there.”
