Quick Facts: Hillsborough High senior Megan Cull is a two-sport standout at Hillsborough High. Soccer is her primary sport but she is a fine lacrosse player in the spring season. Cull is a team captain for the Lady Raiders and leads them in scoring this fall.

Coach LeeAnn Wyble Says: “She’s one of the best center mids in the area but she gets overlooked. She has vision and she can pass, shoot and defend. She has a lot of weight on her shoulders.”

Favorite Athlete: Jeremy Shockey because he makes things happen.

Favorite Team: New York Giants. My entire family loves them, and I grew up watching them and going to the games, which are a lot of fun.

Favorite Class/Subject: Environmental Science is my favorite course this year because we learn a lot about animals.
*
Favorite Food: Tacos!!

Favorite TV Show: Gossip Girl is my favorite show because while it is unrealistic, it’s nice to go to a fantasy world for an hour.

Favorite Movie: The Goonies, it’s a classic.

Favorite Musical Group: I have a lot of favorites; it’s too hard to pick just one. I like different kinds of music depending on what I’m in the mood for, but if I had to pick I really like Rihanna, Third Eye Blind and Say Anything.

Favorite Book: To Kill a Mockingbird – we read it in school and not a lot of people liked it, but I thought it was amazing.

Best Role Model: My Poppy is my biggest role model. He started off with nothing and worked his way up. Everything he does is for his family and it makes me want to work hard like he did.

Biggest Athletic Moment: Last year’s game vs. Somerville was one of my favorites. It felt really good to score those goals and then eventually win it in the end to give them their first loss.

Mia Hamm or Heather O’Reilly: Mia Hamm, she’s classic.

Offense or Defense: Offense!

Goal or Assist: That’s a tough one, maybe I’m greedy, but goal.

Grass or Turf: Turf – I love giving through balls and they work better on turf.
