Charlie played both basketball and baseball throughout his 7th and 8th grade year. When Covid hit in 8th grade, Charlie struggled a little with no sports to play nowhere to go or anything so he decided to play some video games with his friends. He attends Lafayette high school where he has made many friends like myself, Reed Smith,  Austen Townsend, CJ Buchan, Ian Ji, Brendan Moss and many others.
