Matt LaGrassa
1. What is your most embarrassing high school memory?
Well one year, Pleasant Grove High School invited a lot of people out to a game against Jesuit High School and there were about 200 people there, which is a lot for a high school match, and we lost 5-0 to Cam (Iwasa) and Jesuit. That sucked. *Cam laughs in the background
2. What is the best vacation you’ve ever been on?
I think the best vacation I’ve ever been on was me and five or six of my college roommates, not last winter but the winter before, took a trip to like three or four cities in Europe, we went to a bunch of soccer games in the winter time and that was a great vacation. Probably one of the best.
3. Walk us through your matchday routine.
I’ll wake up and have a nice little snack and then head to the field to job and stretch. Then I eat a bigger meal. Then I usually do something to occupy my time, I usually read or maybe just watch some shows. Then I have my bigger prematch meal and then a little snack and always a cup of coffee. I usually stop at Temple Coffee on S Street and make my way to Bonney field
4. As a Kings fan, what’s your favorite Kings memory?
I just remember being at the games when I was younger, and just the energy in the arena when they sold out every game was just so incredible and I just thought it was the coolest thing in the whole world being at those games.
5. If you were an animal what would you be and why?
I think I’d be a dog. They seem very happy and kind like they have an easy life. Just hanging out, easy stuff. I’d probably be a lab because I’d want to be a bigger dog, be able to run around a lot and be athletic.

1. What is your favorite youth soccer memory?
Probably going 31-0 in high school. That was fun.
2. You are stuck on a deserted island. What three books do you bring?
I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, The Hobbit and Sideways Stories from Wayside School.
3. What is your favorite 90s boyband?
NSYNC, hands down.
4. What meal or recipe do you cook the best?
I don’t really do specific recipes, I just kind of wing it. I do chicken and shrimp with broccoli and asparagus. With the shrimp I like do a chili lime seasoning, and then a little garlic and olive oil in the pan.
5. What Olympic event are you excited for the most?
Table tennis, it’s really, really exciting. Or men’s diving.
