Often seen getting in touches at the Westmont Bowl, senior Lazar Minic is a cornerstone of Westmont High School’s soccer team. As the team’s starting center-back, Lazar is the team’s defensive anchor, shutting down opponents with ease. Since earning a varsity spot as a sophomore, he has consistently dominated the field. That breakout season saw him contribute significantly to Westmont’s league champion title in the Santa Teresa West Division. Last year, his efforts helped secure the top seed in the CCS playoffs. Now, in his final season, Lazar is determined to lead his team to a CCS championship victory.
