LOWELLVILLE

It’s been said that good things come in threes and for three special graduates, good things will likely come.

“Today I’m happy, but kind of sad,’ said Miguel A. Sanchez, one in a set of triplets to take home a diploma during Sunday’s Lowellville High School Class of 2011 commencement at the Lowellville K-12 School. “I’m close to everyone here.”

Also crossing the stage and receiving diplomas during the 90-minute program were his brother, Robert, and sister, Teresa.

Miguel said he’s looking forward to attending the University of Akron this fall to study exercise science and enter a three-year program to become a physical therapist.

His fondest high-school memories will probably be his years as a linebacker and defensive tackle for the football team — specifically, the close bond he formed with teammates.

“I’d do anything for them; they’d do anything for me,” Miguel said. “I love them.”
