Lost in Translation Episode 37 - Ali ABoukal and Michael Lawler WCTV Podcasting

Wilmington High athletes and friends since middle school Michael Lawler and Ali Aboukal joint the LIT podcast to talk about nearing the end of their high school journeys on and off the field. The duo talked about their shared love of sports, camaraderie on the football and lacrosse fields, and what it's like to survive in a small town. They also talked about their differing paths and obstacles they faced. Aboukal. who does the grunt work in the trenches in football and lacrosse, was raised as a brown kid in a white town by his older siblings. Lawler was a star athlete in football and basketball, and a bonafide DI recruit in lacrosse before a horrific series of injuries his junior year nearly ended his career and sent him into a very dark place. They both talked about finishing strong, looking back, and wanting to savor every last moment. This one is definitely a tear jerker.
