In addition to athletics, Princely has developed an online reselling business, something he said has become one of his biggest passions. Friends and teachers describe him as outgoing, funny and easy to connect with, qualities that helped him form strong relationships during his time at Hidden Valley. As graduation approaches, Princely said he hopes to remain close with many of the friendships he has built over the years.

Soccer has played a major role in Princely’s high school experience. He has been a member of the Titans soccer program for three seasons and served as a team captain during his senior year. Playing primarily at wing back, Princely became known for his defensive presence and leadership on the field.

“My favorite memory in high school is beating Cave Spring in soccer,” Princely said.

Princely said his love for the sport continues to motivate him both on and off the field.

“I am very passionate about soccer and may want to continue playing in my adult life,” Princely said.

After graduation, Princely plans to pursue a degree to become a certified registered nurse anesthetist, commonly known as a CRNA. He is considering attending Virginia Commonwealth University to continue his education and work toward a future career in nursing.

Princely also said Mahatma Gandhi is one of the most influential figures in his life because of his wisdom and leadership. If given the opportunity, Princely said Gandhi would be the historical figure he would most want to meet for dinner.
