Player Profile: Ron Varghese, Lutheran South Academy​​

RON VARGHESE ISN' T DEFINED BY THE ACCOLADES HE RECEIVES.

The all-state percussionist balances school and his extra-curricular activities with equal vigor and passion.

"One of the things in managing my time is to take things day-by-day," he said. "It's easy to get overwhelmed. I get overwhelmed a lot but if you take things little-by-little, you can meet your end goal a lot easier."

His philosophy has helped him become a star in the classroom and in the band hall. He once even balanced soccer.

"Soccer was a great outlet for me," he said. "It just got me out of the classroom. Soccer was a family tradition for me too. I made a great group of friends doing it and it was one of my favorite experiences I've had at Lutheran South."
